    Treat Painted Plastic Same as Metal?

    Hi Lawrence, Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using the PC and an orange pad with the PG1000. Thus far, all the cars I've done have been 10-20 years old with no serious care taken for the paint all those years.

    What did I do Wrong?

    Hello, Did I skip a step? I just got my new Porter Cable 7424XP and products and put them to use on a 20 year old red pickup truck. On the one hand, the results are nothing short of fantastic. On the other hand if I look carefully, I can now see thousands of ultra fine scratches. What have I...
