Newbie Buffer and Polisher
Wanting to get a good not really priced Random Orbital Buffer. I saw on on Ebay, the PC 7428, would this be a good thing to invest in, or is there a better one to start out with?
Sorry if this is a repeat.
Matt

Re: Newbie Buffer and Polisher
The PC is a must have for any detailer along with a rotary, a great tool for weekend warriors to use by itself, produce great results, safely and with little skill needed. You will find that probably 45 out of 50 pro detailers have at least one PC

Re: Newbie Buffer and Polisher
I just don't want to ruin the car anymore than what it is. It is about 80 percent great, but looking for that 20% more.
Maybe for Christmas.

Re: Newbie Buffer and Polisher
The PC 7428 is a rotary buffer (a good machine, but not for the beginner).
Porter-Cable's orbital is the 7424, 7336, 7335 series (all the same machine with slight variations).
PC.

Good Eye, whenever I see a PC mentioned, I always assume that it is the DA since Makita, Dewalt and Mill. seem to be what everyone uses in the form of a rotary |

Re: Newbie Buffer and Polisher
So what should I look for when looking for a Buffer?
Like I said, I am new and would like to tighten up the paint job of my cars.

Re: Newbie Buffer and Polisher
imo, every detailer should have a PC (7424/7335/7336) in their detailing arsenal...

Get a PC 7424 or an ultimate detailing machine(UDM). Very hard to hurt your paint w/ these and the shine up nice w/ most products |

Re: Newbie Buffer and Polisher
What are the bare minimum pieces that I need to get? I am only doing my two cars so far. Can I burn a paint with the DA? I think it is pretty fool proof, but just curious.
What compounds should I use? Would the Megs work for starters?
More to come later, just getting my ducks in order.
