Hi guys i just joined a few days ago and I am really interested in learning the ways of the porter cable lol. I'm a very novice beginner. Where should I start? I drive a 99 grand prix supercharger. Paint is in pretty good shape (except for some water stains on the hood) for its year just looking for ways to improve it. So any thoughts tips? Which porter cable should I go with? With products do I need? So many questions...

If you are going with a PC, then the 7424XP model is a good place to start. Stick with 5.5" pads or smaller.
