Decided since my replacement PC 7424xp won't b here until tomorrow I would go ahead and use my broken one since the weather was WARM on my sisters vibe/ matrix. Mine only works above speed four but it seemed like I needed it at 5 anyways... (Never used one of these DA before except for a 3M one that connects to my compressor at work). I gotta say it was not bad but it's going to take some getting used to coming from a Milwaukee rotary. I used a lake country waffle black 6.5" finishing pad with tech wax 2.0... The car was in dire need of a clay bar so it was more work then I anticipated... This is what came out though.... I think I'm going to stick with the rotary for corrections and use PC just for wax application... View attachment 15047View attachment 15048View attachment 15049

Lol man that's something. I moved up out of there around 99. I used to stay in Wheeling if you know about that area. I really do miss those days but ever since i picked this hobby up, i can't complain about the weather here in Atlanta man

I'm a summer detail guy and soon to be teacher... Sometimes I dream about moving to a warm spot to pursue year round detailing!

Don't give up on the DA just yet. Get some smaller pads (5.5") to help the PC's motor. Also, try a few different polish combos with it. I used a rotary for years working my way through high school and college, and I prefer my DA.

The PC was not the issue with your selections here (which i hope you know).

a black pad and wax will offer no correction...if it needed claying, it probably needed polishing aswell...

once you upgrade from wax, youll probably find the PC does a pretty good job at correction (albeit slower than the rotary), but a decent job in its own right with the proper selection of "products" to go with it.

I was just testing the PC... NEver used one... Obviously a black pad and wax will not offer any correction abilities... I wanted to clean the paint of debris before I went and waxed the car... The smoothness that clay provides was my ambition... I'll test ability of PC with correction when I have more time. Polish... Diamond cut thanks for ur Interest
