I can and will agree with what he said right here. Seeing how I work at a dealership, but at work, I don't touch the buffer, and I hate using the chemicals there.

With a PC7424 it is virtually impossible to burn/damage the paint in any way. A PC7424 used with Menzerna Intesive Polish then followed up with Final Polish II then with a quality carnuaba or polymer will yeild fantastic results. A good quality carnuaba wax is suited more for show cars because it does have filling properties that will hide imperections in ones paint. Polymers are geared more towards duarbility. Polymers also have more of a mirror look to them versus a Carnuaba which has a warmer/deeper look. I would recomend checking out some detailing websites to learn more about swirls/scratches and paint care. There is so much false information that is given out about detailing that makes it hard for people that are new to the game to determine whats right and wrong.. thats why you should check out detailcity or another car care website. I wouldnt recomend letting a dealership or any other detailing shop around here buff out any scratches on your vehicle because from what I have seen thus far no one really knows what there doing IMHO. They really would probally do more harm than good. Good luck with whatever you decide though
yeah ive heard alot of good things about the porter cable, i wish i had some money to get one. but anyways you should look into finding someone that is really good at claybarring wetsanding and buffing.
