Default PC7424 - WOW

Boys & Girls... If you don't have one, you need to get one -- a Porter Cable 7424 Polisher thatis-- WOW!!! is the only way to describe what this polisher can do to a car's finish!

If you are use to a Rotary, it takes a little longer forthe 7424to breakdown the polish, but the results is incredible and you DON'T have to worry about it BURNING your paint.

I have not had the opportunity to use it on my own car, but I use it today for the first time on a client's. Their car was dark green metallic that had NEVER been taken care of in about 3-years. So I started with a Fine-Cut it was amazing! The color grew dark and clear and there were still a ton of micro scratches from the abrasive. After that I worked some Scratch & Swirl Remover and Machine Glaze over the car, the client was floored. They thought their car was done

When I told them, up to this point all I have been doing is cleaning and conditioning the paint -- they were like, WHAT! Go back inside, it will be at least another hour before it is done andI will come get you. I then worked in some Showcar Glaze and buffed it to a brillent shine, and then topped it all off with a 100% pure carnuaba wax -- which is a pure pain, but the shine is worth the work. Once I buffed that off and cleaned all the crack and jams I went and got the client.

He and his wife stood there in awe... He reached into his pocket, andgave me a $50 tip. His wife just walked around the car with her hand over her mouth saying -- Oh My God... That's Incredible! It made me feel pretty incredible and it was worth the 3-hours it took just to see their reaction. Hell... he could have kept the money... Their reaction was worth it to me... But I kept the money too!

Ok here is an example - This was a quick wash & wax, that I took the time to polish out 98% of the scratches, swirls, and bird etchings.
