Buffer

Should i get the porter cable 7424, that is very popular or the makita orbital, a little more professional i guess but more difficult to use, but its capable of doing everything.... and i like the idea of the handle, also there's the cyclo. Im just not sure about the 7424, it seems really nice and convenient but im not sure that it could remove sanding marks from wet sanding???

The 7424 is the standard buffer that most people use. Shop around as they can be found for cheaper prices than MSRP.

For heavy buffing (sanding marks) a high speed buffer would be good but for all your other buffing needs a 7424 is the way to go. So if you will only need to buff out sanding marks a couple times in your life maybe borrow someones high speed rotary buffer and buy yourself a PC 7424. Just my thoughts.

I've never tried to remove wet-sanding marks with a PC. You might want to hold off on the purchase right now. There's a Ultimate Detailing Machine coming out pretty soon and it will outdo the PC by 20-25% or so and has a better ergonomic to it.

I myself have had a PC for many years, but I've ran into a few process an dsteps that a PC just won't cut it and my Makita rotary took care of. So just another option to throw out there.

thanks for the input, still undecided though! I really like the makita, but something like the 7424 seems for feasible, also i wanted to have something with enough capability so that i wouldn't have to have 2 machines, but i know the best combo would be a 7424 and the makita. Another thing how powerful is the cyclo polisher??? I heard its the best, but......

I've never had any experience with the cyclo before, but I haven't heard of any complaints with it. Honestly you won't be able to get everything from just one machine. I have two machines and I awnt more still haha. Just be patient and wait for the UDM if you can.

i think i'll go with the cyclo, its a great polisher thats able to just polish when the brush kits are applied for carpets and leather

I meant to say that i think i'll go with the cyclo polisher because you have the ability to interchange buffing pads for brushes, and extending the ability for shampooing carpets (in a way) and conditioning leather
