I have one to see if you're close by.

Wilkes-Barre Township. I've pretty much decided to order a PC and pads. Would be interested in some pointers though.

Thanks for your snotty and rude reply!! I guess you didn't read this part of message:


if you already know, please don't think I'm being condescending by asking.


Maybe after you decide which machine to buy, you can spend a little time learning some manners, eh?

You're something else

No need to get all worked up. Try reading what he said again. Didnt come off as rude or snotty in any way to me?...

Thanks for pointing that out.

If I misunderstood, then I apologize.

IIRC, the MOPAR smr is made by ValueGuard/AutoInt. Not bad stuff by any means.

This reply was not intended to be either. This is what I meant.

I didn't put 2+2 together. Somehow, like you were suggesting, the fact that the PC is just an electric d/a hadn't clicked with me. You made it clear that you werent being sarcastic. I was simply conveying that I own a Black and Silver Electric D/A that I am pretty sure is PC branded tool. I am not home right now to go look at it. After some thought, i dont recall a speed control, only an on-off switch. So its probably not a 7424.

Your information was helpful and I was simply agreeing with it.. Sorry you misunderstood. I am a member of many internet forums.I own many many cars, bikes etc. I have been fabricating, racing, welding, wrenching, driving, painting, polishing since I was old enough to hold the tools needed. Nothing and I mean nothing is more irritating that offering good advice or pointing something out on a forum (like you did), and having someone complain or make wise assed comments. I wouldnt blame you for chewing someone a new ***. This was not and will not ever be the case with advice offered to me. It's a simple misunderstanding no harm no foul.

Thanks again for the advice.

If you make it to a Nascar race this year PM me. I'll put a few beers on ice and we can talk detailing.

Jowlz,

Thanks for being so understanding; when I first read your original reply, I thought you were being sarcastic. After Racepenut's post, I reread it and realized I had just put my foot in by big fat mouth.

Sorry again.

FWIW, and from what I've read, you might get better results from PC, on your last step polish, and it also may be good for applying glazes, and wax.

Thanks for all the info. I got home tonight and looked at the D/A I have. Its not a 7424 its a 7336. Funny thing I never noticed the speed adjustment after using it time to time for 2 years.

I decided to order a cyclo. I'm going to give that a go. I dont have time now but will read up on the 7336 when I have some free, and see if I can use that. It looks the same as the 7424 but has a port for dust.

7336 is ok to use(6 inch counterweight)- get a backing plate and a couple of foam pads and your good to go

Yup, they all are built the same, as a matter of fact I would guess many here (including myself) have the 7336 as that's the one Lowe's sells.

Thanks for the info.
