    The PC7424 XP is an excellent choice! I have one and still use it! IMO, it is one of the most versatile DA's out there. There are many backing plate options and pad options for that little beast and it is practically foolproof!

    Great choice

    same here just re-badged. i bought it about ten years ago from meguiars and that was when it was known as the G100 with a lifetime warranty in which it still has. i mainly use it with the smaller backing plate and pads so i don't have to switch it out on the fly...

    IMO, the HF DA is a better option that the pc7424xp. it has more torque, better ergonomics (feels better in the hands), and cheaper in price, about half of the XP. many people have been using it and there haven't been a few/many reports of it failing compared to the XP and a few well known detailers have been abusing them day in & day out every single day for months & months with no issues...

    The porter cable 7424 can be bought at Lowes it's a good polisher. It may not be the best but is very good none the less

    PC is great my first DA ! But man not enough power to cut fast like the Rupes 15 Bigfoot . I wish I saved my money to get this bad boy because since purchasing the rupes my details have been done faster and better than using the PC. And my pads last a lot longer on the rupes lol but the PC does get the job done

    The PC is fine if you are going to maintain your own cars. If you are doing this for money then the rupes or flex would be the better choice.

    I own both a Rupes 15 and an original PC. I use both and clearly the Rupes is the more advanced, higher tech machine, yet I find myself using the PC more often, unless the task requires serious muscle.
