As it states, I'm looking at getting a Porter Cable to be able to do a good detail job on my car. I'm looking around and trying to figure out which to get. Found this one: http://www.cpoworkshop.com/polishers/7336sp.html and want to know if it is a good deal and the one I would want to get.
Is the 7336 model the one I want over the 7424? Anything else I would need to get?
Thanks for the help.

The 7336 comes with a different counterweight and is also now discontinued, but it is the same machine.
You will need a backing plate to accomodate the foam pads and then you will need polishing, cutting and finishing pads. I have PC kits that already have all of this together and I even have them with the polish/swirl removers included. You same more money getting the kits plus you get an additional $10 off the PC kits since you are a member here.

I've read some stuff about using a 5" or 6" counterweight depending on the pad or backing plate you use. I'm a little confused about it. Have any idea on if I would need to change anything, or would the package from your site be just what I'm looking for? So you have an idea, I need to clay the car, then I have swirls and scratches I want to remove and finish up with a good polish then cover in a good wax (I have a good airline wax I want to use so I don't need a polish that contains a wax in it). Which kit do you suggest?

I would suggest going with my Porter Cable/Optimum kit, this is the best kit for the money and performance. The Porter Cable I carry already comes with the counterweight that goes with the backing plate I sell, so you are ok there.
I carry an 8 oz claybar that is double and triple the size that you can get over the counter. I also have a kit that has the clay lube and claybar together.
After using the Optimum polishes with the PC, I would recommend going with my Wet Glaze for a lot of depth and wetness, then you can top that with the wax that you already have.

yeah, def buy a kit from justin. he has the kits that have all the polishes/pads/backing plate. all you need after that is a clay bar and the wax of your choice. i ordered a kit from him a couple months ago, and couldnt be happier.

See if Rick at www.autodetailingsolutions.com has any G100s left. It's the same thing as a PC 7424 but it's got a lifetime warranty since it's got the Meguiars stamp on it.
