When you say equipment, are you talking about buffers, vacuums/extractors, brushes, and other related tools? Or are you talking about products? Or both?

I would go with the Griot's Garage DA polisher.

Both any product or equipment you feel like a pro detailer would def need to have and would be useful along the way.

You want a DA for waxing and not polishing? You have wool pads on your list, so does that mean you have a rotary? It would be much easier to recommend some products if we knew what you presently have.

Are you just looking to "wax" with the pc7424?

[Dr Oldz]

Ya kinda beat me to that one Rsurfer....sry!

DW443 is a rotary from dewalt like the PC i work with both of them to wax only they are both great all tho the pc is better and safer when u working with new cars

so the DA is good for waxing and polishing then??? I got a Dewalt buffer which i use for compounding, foam polish and final step hand wax on previous jobs i use to work i have work with PC and Dewalt DW443 for waxing down the cars only but i seen online alot of people polishing and waxing with the DA so i am assuming DA is the best way to go all tho is PRICEY!!

Untrue, the PC is about $125, but the Flex DA is about $310.00. Since you have a rotary for the heavy work, why not use a PC for finishing and waxing/sealants?

I would go with the Griot's Garage DA polisher.

For a "pro" that's doing a high frequency of work, the Griot's would be a poor choice. The reliability is extremely suspect as compared to the PCXP.

That said, if you can afford it, the Flex 3401 is the best all-around machine to cover a variety of jobs.
