Rotary with 3 or 4 steps of pads-polishes and then on to hand applied wax . Lately I have been thinking about getting a PC just to see what all the fuss is about .

It is good to hear you maintain your polisher! Blow your polisher out with a blowgun before you put it away, and that will help remove the bulk of dust and polish inside. There is nothing better though than opening it up (after the warranty expires or they might use it as an excuse to void the warranty) and getting everything clean.
One thing I am surprised at is that more people don't talk about the Dewalt DW849 variable speed polisher. It is a great tool and the most widely used here in California. I get customers calling for that and the PC 7424 more than anything else.
