Pad Options

Would these larger pads be compatible with the PC 7424? They are a little larger and may save time or should I stay with the 6.5" pads?

I would say that might be a lot of pad to work with a PC7424! Would not recommend it.

Ok thanks for the advice, is the 7424 a good option for someone looking to do some side work, maybe 2-3 jobs a week. I have PC wodworking tools and have been happy with them. I have a 10" craftsman random obital I bought about a year ago. The PC seems to get a lot of recommendations though.

PC7424 would be perfect for you...I have had mine for about 2-3 years. I love it, very light weight and I get great results with it. I like the fact I can put the carpet brushes on it, the 4" foam pads for smaller jobs, and then the 6.5" pads for my vehicle. Carpet brushes work great in the house, as well as the car. Not to mention the great work it does in the shower on the tiles!

Awesome, looks like I will be adding that to the mix soon, thanks for the help. I realized as I was detailing my truck over the weekend, I could this and make a little money to help out, I am pretty good at it.

I have the Meguiars Gold Class liquid wax and I think it is called No. 9 buffing compound. What should I invest in next. I was looking at the Poorboys kits.

What you need next depends on what you will be doing... If you are looking for a sealant that would be compatible for many different jobs I would say Wolfgang. Doing leather work... if for clients in bulk, maybe Lexol, if for yourself maybe Pinnacle....

packages save $$ and make compatibility issues non-existant.

I have been looking at the packages here. The prices are good as well.
