Cool...I bought one last week and bought some EX-P too. You will love the PC. I`ve heard lots of good reviews of the VM EXP combo.



One tip when applying EX-P (and probably everything else too)...you really don`t need that much product when using the PC...much less than when applying by hand. I kept adding EX-P to the pad thinking that I needed more...when I was done it was not fun trying to clean all the EX-P out of the pad...talk about a thick product!



A little goes a long way!

oh the fun you`ll have with your new PC! and i`m sure MattZ28 will teach you all you need to know! :xyxthumbs

[MattZ28]

Don`t worry guys, before you know it, I`LL be calling HIM the psycho....muwahahaha :D

I ahve bought SOOOOO many different products because of MattZ28 and I dont know which one to ever try.



I have the complete FK1USA.com package which includes the decontaim kit( which I used last week )

then it has 3 steps of sealants and a pink wax

-very good product i tested this out on my hood today and WOW.

I also have the Quick detailer ( very nice product )

the Quick Wax for just after washes ( great shine restorer, I like it )



Then I also got S100 paint cleaner/ swirl remover and S100 pure carnauba wax

-never used the paint cleaner, but did try the wax, defianatly MY current FAVORITE wax.



I also have a complete line of Zaino Products

-awesome look but never had much luck getting it to last.



other misc products I had before the above products and never plan to use again. Infact I dont know why I havent thrown it away yet.



3M swirl remover = Didnt remove ****

Rain X quick spray wax = never used

2001 liquid wax = complete crap never used again

Turtle wax paste wax = I dont know where it came from and I have never used it.



Think this is enough.????? NOPE



Thanks to MattZ28 I just ordered Vanilla Moose and EX-P with my PC.



So my next pictures will be with the following

Vanilla Moose

2 layers of EX-P

1 layer of FK1 Pink Wax

Then I will probably follow up with S100 wax after 48 hours



I`m catching the PC craze ! I want it now, I keep staring at my detail stuff wishing my Porter Cable was there.......only a few more days to wait:dance

I`m going to be joining the PC crowd soon. I`m a little shocked at the cost of the various pads, however...



Who ever said making your car look great was cheap? :D



I`m thinking it is cheaper for me to buy the 7336SP (model#?) from Lowes and order pads online than it is to buy everything through online retailers. :nixweiss



My steps will include:



-Wash (Meguiar`s Gold Class-by far my favorite wash)

-Clay

-Swirl Remover (undecided on product)

-Klasse AIO

-Klasse SG x2

-P21S x2



Need to read up a bit mroe on P21S but I am almost positive I have read of many people layering it over SG.

Cool, you got logged on!



That is a popular combo...personally I think it would look better on a darker car...our silver is pretty light.

The PC is a must have for anyone on this website. I debated for a long time about whether to buy one or not and my only regret is not buying it sooner.

[TW85 HHI]

mtodde,



Yeah, I`ve thought about the P21S on darker cars versus our light silver. My dad`s vehicle is black and once I remove all the surface scratching I think P21S would look great on it. My mom`s car, like mine, is silver but slightly darker (Toyota`s Thunder Cloud). I really like the effect the Klasse twins give on silver but if I can enhance it, I definitely will. Have a suggestion for a carnauba topping for silver? S100? Nattys?



Have thought about just using good ol` Meguiars #16...

[AutoFreak615]

after reading all these posts and seeing all the pictures, i am about to buy one myself. look what u guys did. buy the way, what is the difference between the 7424 and the 7336sp? and how will it affect the results of the detail?

[TW85 HHI]

I went to Porter Cable`s website and compared the 7424 against the 7336. Same specs. I think the only difference is the 7424 comes with a 5" backing plate whereas the 7336 comes with a 6".

[AutoFreak615]

so would the 7336sp be able to use the sonus das pad kit? if that was a stupid question, sorry, i m a newb.
