The Porter Cable is the ultimate user friendly tool.

Pair the PC up with some really good Lake Country Pads and some good polish and you'll have yourself feeling like a pro in no time.

Unlike the High speed rotary, the PC spins slower, in an orbital motion and generates less heat, which in turn significantly reduces the chances of messing up your paint.

I'd rather have 1 broken Porter Cable than 100 of those cheap Autozone Orbital "WAXING MACHINES".....

With the right combo of pads and polish, the PC is a great tool to remove minor swirls and scratches too.

Ok, I'm off of my soap box. Just look at my results from using a PC, a white waffle pad, and some Optimum Polish.







Do it. You won't regret it.
