Yes, the Porter Cable (7424) is the standard DA polisher. You can buy from Griot's, or just run out to Home Depot or Lowe's. However, the standard unit only comes with a single pad that's affixed to

Unless you are bringing back tired paint I really don't think they are needed. I was bought one (as a gift, I would never have bought one for myself even for paint restoration) and the instructions s

For old technology paints, hand work can be sufficient, as the paints are much softer. For modern paints though, you're working with a much harder material. We're also talking about removing fine sc

Those orbital car polishers are great! It gives you all those circular polish marks and makes your car stand out with a really unusual finish. Regards Barrie Barrie Robinson barrier@bconnex.net

Well, my question, somewhat related is - what is the best way to care for and/or polish a newly or nice painted car. My 72B now sports a nicely polished black tulip paint job. What is best to keep it

Everyone has their own techniques, I guess, but here's mine: The first and most important thing in my opinion is keep the car very clean. If it gets dirty or muddy or dusty or otherwise sloppy, wash

To add to Chucks response: Very important to only use 100% cotton towels made in the USA... Wash them without fabric softener and with as little detergent as possible. http://www.zainostore.com/Merch

Here's a couple of thoughts... The Porter Cable 7424 polisher is definitely worth its weight, especially in comparison performing the work by hand - the results are night and day. It's the backing pl

This tends to be a problem with most waxes. It's something that most of the polymer sealants don't do, making life much easier. If you're getting color on the cloth, it means that either your paint
