    I have been looking into getting a new polisher/buffer and the PC looks nice and has a decent price.

    I was looking at a Cyclo polisher http://www.cyclotoolmakers.com/polishers.php , twice the cost but seeing I also polish composite wings the extra cost will be worth it I think, here is another link with a little more info, http://www.wingsandwheels.com/page44.htm

    If you want to find products to protect and care for your CF/composite and painted parts, the aircraft industry is the place where you want to look.

    I sell 7242s everyday. I have one myself its my second and Im very happy with it.

    You can do almost just as much correction with it as you can a rotary and not worry about clearcoat failure.

    Have you looked into the G110v2 from Meguirs? I feel it may be a little bit more powerful than the porter cable so depending on what your doing with it you may want to look into that. Keep in mind what pads you will be using with each. Megs G110 comes with a backing plate to fit 6.5 and PC you need a counterweight that it should come with.

    Not trying to push my store that I work for one you but you should compare prices on Autogeek vs. www.autoality.com You can also put in the coupon code "forumfriend" and get even more of a discount.





    Let me know if you have any more specific questions

    Let us know what you think of the combo pkg you purchased, I decided to get a 7242, but not sure what accessory pkg would be best.

    Dont get me wrong I love Poorboys products but as far as paint correction go with your PC I wouldnt go any other route that meguires 105 and 205. The BEST abrasives you can use with that machine hands down. Much more efficient than the traditional dimishing abrasives found in poorboys compounds and swirl removers

    I used the 105 in the past but not with a porter cable... I just want to see what the poorboys products can do! Lol

    Nice!

    I bought quite a bit of Poorboys stuff a couple of years ago. The nice thing about the Poorboys stuff was that I could do it outside without any reprecussions. It worked OK, but definitely had me second guessing my PC purchase in favor of a true rotary. I could still see a good amount of swirls after a TON of time. Cleaning up a black car = pain.

    I'll have to give the Meguiars stuff a try.
