Just an FYI for other newbies who might read my post. I found this video posted by another member here and watched several of this guys vids. They are great and teach a lot while getting to see first hand what is going on. Just surf around and watch some of the methods used for washing, drying...

Yes I have seen your post before and it helped me make choices. I bought the pads you mentioned and intend to use them with the type of products you described. Thank you

Do you guys think that AG would exchange my 6.5 pads that came in my PC kit for 5.5 pads if I ask them? I plan on sending back the extra pads I paid for separately but not sure how they would calculate the cost of the pads included in the kit. Honestly I dont care that the 5.5 pads are cheaper I...

Didnt know anything about it. Thanks for the info and any more you can offer. I honestly think I am ready to go for it but not until next week because my order wont make it here until next Wed. I will start on my daily driver Corolla that I dont care about and learn technique before touching my...

LOL, I am in California. I live in Highland which is near San bernardino area. I am just trying to be safe and I dont want to be coming back here wishing I knew something I didnt after learning the hard way. I saw pics of a guy who had 20 yrs experience who krinkled the paint edge on a plastic...

Yup I watched vids and bought his PC how to DVD.

Its amazing what ice will do. I am a Physical Therapist Assistant and would suggest you ice up. Mix 1 bottle rubbing alcohol to 3 bottles of water in a zip lock. Put it in the freezer and tomorrow you will have a slurpee type mixture. Set the bag over your entire hand especially near your...

So being new to machines used on my cars I want to hear the things I should never do and mistakes others made so I can learn from them. What I want to know is if its possible to burn the paint off anywhere on my truck/car using the PC incorrectly? The products I am using are safe and the...

Ok then I think I am good to go for a bit.

So it seems I like to order things then send them back after doing more research. :( I ordered the PC and now am reading that the Flex is the one to get. I am brand new and this is going to be a learning process for me. I want it to be easy and if spending more to get quality means less...

Neither did I, lol. Well now I have all of it coming to me so I will try it out. I still plan to send the 6.5 pads back for a refund because I ordered like 9 extras more then the kit had. I will at least get to try the kit 6.5 pads for my first time on my daily driver car before I go near my...

Thanks. I think I am good for now and will figure out what suits my needs as I learn more. Smaller BP and pads is a good idea. I will make do for now but I think I can position the larger pads on areas like door jams with a little effort. If not I can hit the small areas by hand for now.

thanks man. Going to give this a shot as well. I will have all of it and get to see for myself what the deal is. I will likely be sending back the 6.5 pads that I added to the kit but I will use up the 5 that came in the kit to learn on.

So how about these to add to my arsenal as well? Are they a good choice of 5.5 pads? Lake Country 5 1/2 x 7/8 inch Beveled Edge Pads 6 Pack, foam pad kit, build a kit, buffing pads, curved edge pads 3 orange for swirl remover 3 white for AIO product 3 black for polish that hides swirls but has...

Ok I know what to do. I will also buy some 5.5 pads and add yet another order. I will have it all and can test which I like better. I am sure I can use the 6.5 pads for my Tundra which has huge panels and the 5.5 for the tighter smaller door jam areas. So now that I have the CCS 6.5 pads which...

My thought is that if 5.5 pads might be something to advance up to I will start with the 6.5 to learn and use them a few times then upgrade when they need to be replaced. This brings up another question which is how do I tell when I need to toss out an old pad? What am I looking for in an old...

Well the issue is when I call and speak to 3 different tech support guys at AG they all tell me 6.5 pads are fine. I ask on here and its 5.5 so I am just lost on this and have no experience to formulate my own opinion. I stayed with the same kit I ordered and feel its a good starting point for...

I thank you guys for the info. I decided to leave my order as it was and go with the 6.5 pads on the 5 inch back plate. I called tech support 3 times and each person I spoke with said it was a good combo. Mike I ordered this video How to use a Porter Cable 7424XP Polisher, Porter Cable How To...

I am new to this and just ordered your "how to" video for the PC along with this kit and upgraded to the HD version which I have no reason for doing but it sounded better :) Porter Cable 7424 & Foam Pad Kit - Car Buffer It comes with 6.5 pads and a 5 inch plate but much of what I am reading on...

I did call them again to confirm this and they suggest what is in that kit. I am new to this but its driving me nuts with all the different opinions on what to buy. I just went with this kit and will have to start here and see what I think after I learn more.
