Look what just arrived in the mail. It's Christmas in April. Porter Cable 7424XP, Lake Country and Liquid Glass - the perfect combination of goodies to get my Lexus ready for the Summer.

I LOVE my PC. I went with the starter kit from autogeek.net when I bought mine. I also opted for the wolfgang starter kit as well. Let me tell you, this combo went lightyears above and beyond my expectations. I use the swirl remover and a yellow pad on my Cobra and takes 90% of swirls out. Nice choice!

Also, you may want to look at poorboys blue hard wax, it give amazing depth to dark color cars.

Get the Velcro adaptor so you don't have to keep unscrewing the pads.

Lol, hopefully the bug doesn't hit you as hard as it did for me, Jay, and Edwin. Enjoy your swirl free finish in the end

I recently purchased quite a bit of Zaino products and have done our vehicles by hand ea time with full detail process. After looking at many options have decided to go with PC-7424 model....did you order a Kit OR JUST GET SEVeral options on order and aprox how much did this cost you if you dont mind sharing. Good Luck with detailing !!

the kits are always a rip. one they usually include crap you dont want and 2 you can buy everything cheaper individually when there is a good coupon code. the kits are always excluded from the coupon codes. i was able to use a 25% off one from detailedimage.
