I'm new here, flame away. My g/f got me a Porter Cable 7424 for Christmas this year, so I figure it's time to learn how to use it. In the past years i've grown pretty close to my cars. I am pretty good with the handwax, and may try my hand at the machines now. I'm here for the knowledge, that's it. Scottwax is awesome, he worked wonders on my g/f's Cavalier after the fire sprinkler leaked rusted water on it.
