PC or not to PC

I have been reading some threads lately that are questioning the neccesitity of the PC for certain products.I have been thinking about ordering one for awhile but never did.Anyway, I will tell you the the vehicle paint and products I have and please tell me which ones or any are best applied or removed with the PC.I would have to order from Carcaresmart.com, so the package with a set of pads would be around $250.The vehicle is a 98 Black Dodge Ram.The newest products I have to play with are



-Megs#16

-Klasse AIO

-Megs NXT Wax (also numerous other products such as Mothers Clay Bar System,Mothers Cleaner Wax,etc.)



I would like to also use a more heavy cleaning compound(DACP or lighter) occasionaly.



Is the PC worth the investment or not.Also ,do they ever break down.Is it worth the extra $40 to buy it from Can. Tire for ease of return?
 
In my opinion, AIO by PC gives better results. AIO by hand is faster and easier on paint that is already in good condition and doesn't need a lot of "scrubbing". DACP is done with PC because less time & effort is involved. The PC is very well made and heavy duty. Well worth the money paid for it.
 
I too like to apply AIO with a PC. I also like to apply the first coat of NXT with a PC. Having said that, you certainly don't "need" a PC to get good result with those products. However, if you do plan on starting to play around with polishes for better prep work, a PC will come in quite handy, save a lot of elbow grease, and will help achieve better results.
 
Yes Sir, it is a wonderful tool to have. The only item I dont use it for is the final wax, but thats not saying you cant. There are always going to be times where you want(or need) to do it by hand , but nonetheless, Its a valuble tool in my box.

NXT with a PC on a BLACK ride...AWESOME !!!





Besides, the PC....Tastes Great........Less Filling.....Tastes Great........Less Filling.....Tastes Great........Less Filling.....Tastes Great........Less Filling.....Tastes Great........Less Filling.....Tastes Great........Less Filling.....Tastes Great........Less Filling.....



Oh wait.. Thats a beer commercial. Nevermind:nixweiss
 
Yeah, if you can afford it, get it. I even use it for Meg's #16. IMO anything I can do by hand I can do better/faster/easier by PC. Just no way I can match all those orbits-per-minute manually. And the motions of using a PC are a lot easier on my shoulders than the motions of doing things by hand.



Heh heh, the first time you do something awkward, like polish a rocker panel, with the PC you'll think "man, that was really worth the $".



I prefer the Cyclo myself, but it costs a lot more.
