    Hello All,



    First of all, i would like to thanks this site and all the people here for the great info this forum have. It`s like the details university!!

    I get all my question answer by simply doing the search, except the above subject which confuse me.



    I search that someone would recommend the Wen Cordless Orbital PC. Is it good? Any other PC out there that i go apart from this?



    I also notice someone using their Cordless Drill as a PC. How do they get the chuck for this pad to fit in and where can you get them? It was not mention where i can get that. Is it some thing customize?



    Thanks in Advance.

    I have the Simoniz version of the Wen .. right off the top its not in the same league as the PC ( Porter Cable) but on the other hand I used mine for a year and it is slower than the PC but it did the job. Mine came with 2 batteries and they have good life. One will buff out about 1/4 of the car. I hvae the PC now and I use the cordless ro applying waxes etc or quickie spot jobs where I don`t want to pull out the PC and cords.



    It can use the same pads. And is only 1 speed.

    No value. Worthless.



    Do it by hand until you can afford the PC.

    I really wanted those electric PC and i can afford it, but the problem is i live in apartment and don`t have access to electrical socket. Unless i purchase a portable generator? I think that even expensive.

    Quote: Recommendation for Cordless PC?



    ~One man’s opinion / observations ~



    I take a 4†ROB Autosport P/T # 90093 Detailing Kit(autosportcatalog.com) to car shows. It comes with a storage bag, rechargeable 2-4.8V NiCad batteries @-hours buffing time), scrubbing brush, lambs wool pad, and a 6’ buffing pad.





    ~ Hope this helps ~

    That looks the same as the Simoniz one I have *but* you get the tote which is a nice feature. Mine also came with a 4" pad. I found the 4" pads fit inside wax cans .. great for applying #26 etc.
