Can someone explain to me what a PC is?

PC = Porter Cable



Taking from www.properautocare.com



As an example of the PC 7424 below.



"incorporates a random, swirl-free polishing action that will not scratch or burn the paint or clear coat. An electronic variable speed control allows you to adjust the speed from 2,500 to 6,000 OPM. A heavy duty, 3.7 amp motor supplies plenty of torque and the machine is double insulated against shock. The hand grip can be screwed into either side making the polisher adaptable for right or left handed operators.



Tech Note: Within the industry, this polisher is classified as a dual-action polisher. It is designed to safely apply polish and wax in a manner similar to hand application. It minutes, it creates a mirror-like finish and shine that would otherwise take hours of hand labor. It will not create swirls or remove your car`s clear coat finish.



The pad does not rotate in the conventional sense, it oscillates. This "jiggling" occurs at such a high rate that the eye can not see any pad movement. This is normal. This is the way the polisher is designed to work. This polisher is not designed for heavy compounding and may not fully remove scratches, deep swirls or paint imperfections. To completely remove swirls and scratches, consider a professional, circular polisher"

I`m new also but I`ll give it a shot.



PC means Porter Cable which is as I understand a dual action polisher. Circular and Orbitable





Hope I was right

Yup! :xyxthumbs Here`s a thread on Search Tips that might help you out a bit. When searching for 2 character topics then use the * character as a wild card. ie PC*

I remember when I first joined I spent about $400. Since then I`ve only had to replenish once. And that was a couple weeks ago when I decided to give P21S a try.

And from the looks of it... that jar of P21S is going to last a looong time.
