Hello everyone! Just joined up here in hopes of getting good tips and guidence when it comes to detailing. I worked at a detail shop about 10 years ago when I was in highschool, it was actually my first job! I need need to learn more about buffing since I didn't do much of it while I worked there. I have. Black 2002 Grand Prix GTP daily driver and a 99 Nassau Blue Metallic Corvette that I love to drive constantly and keep looking like new.
Now my first question, I'm looking at buying a porter cable buffer which is why I came to this site in the first place. I was looking at one of the kits that have a bunch of pads so I have a good starter setup. I was looking at the 7424xp which is the dual action orbital one if Im reading right. Do I want the orbital or not? Keep in mind I am somewhat of a newbie. Both the vette and the grand prix have the typical swirls a driven car would have but the grand prix is a little worse. (neither car has ever been thru a drive through car wash, hand wash only) and paint is shiny on both. Which kit would you recommend? Help is appreciated and TIA!

Yes you want an orbital, either a Flex 3401 or a PC style Polisher

The above is from my article list here,

Also, the "Intro" forum is a great place to introduce yourself but it's not a very good place to ask questions because the title of your thread reads,
new from Michigan
Not,
Questions about which polisher to get?
See the difference?
Your intro post will only attract nice people that want to welcome you, not nice people willing to answer questions about polishers because from the "words" in the title of your intro post they don't know you have questions about polishers.
