Anyone use a Porter Cable 7424XP? If so, how do you like it? If not, what do you use and how do you like it. I am about to buy a new orbital polisher and wanted some opinions.

Thanks!

 

dont have an xp just the norm 7424. ive read on autopia and other places the xp is more comparable to a flex buffer since the xp has the power/speed boost, makes paint corrections easier and allows it to handle more intense corrections but its still a orbital and has its limits.

 

I have used the 7424 quite a bit and I am very fond of that buffer. Does a great job, and with good pads is even better. Does a wonderful job of 3 stage buffing. The only think I don't like it for as much is if I was to paint a vehicle and buff out the paint, it doesn't seem to cut as well as a standard buffer.

 

Love mine to death wouldnt own anything else

 

Great buffer. The Porter Cable or also the Meguiers G110 ( which is what I have) are both excellent choices. I went with the G110 because I got a deal on it

 

ya def NOT the new meguiers buffer its a jap brand the older one is what you want

 

Their actually made by yet another company now. That one company that was making them did a terrible job, sooooo many problems. The new ones are fixed though from what I've read on the meguiars site.

 

Did some research and decided to go with the new Meguiar's G110V2 Dual-Action Polisher. Ships Monday, can't wait to try it out.

 

Nice, you won't be disappointed. What polishes did you get to go with it? I should have said this earlier but totally forgot, this guy is the cheapest on most meguiars stuff

What do you like to use for tire dressing? I currently use Stoner, but wondered if any of the Meg products are good. I like Stoner because it does not attract dirt, sling, or turn the tire brown/orange.

 

Megs Hyperdressing is amazing, I love it. You can dilute it certain amounts for the gloss you want. I use a 4:1 so its more of a clean matte finish, so nice. Doesn't gum up on the tires or anything either. It will last a while too since you can dilute it

I got almost the same thing you did, I have all those compounds and some Last Touch, Hyper Dressing and All Purpose Cleaner.

 

i worked at a body shot detailing and as a paint prep and now im working at a car wash...i would have to say if you guys are going to try a wax try the tropi-care.... i got some of the black crystal at work and tryed it on my black truck.... i almost had an accident... and i dont mean driving...

 

Just looked it up and it looks interesting. I might just try some.
