I recently bought a Porter Cable 7336 for polishing and waxing my cars, but before I knew better, I used one of those cheap 10" orbital buffers you can get for about $20 at Walmart. I'm sure the PC is superior to the orbital buffer, but I was wondering if I can still use the orbital for anything. Hate to have anything I own collect dust and go to waste!
 
I own a 10" Waxmaster (barely used for years even before I got my PC and rotary).



loaned it to a friend and so far I've been lucky, he hasn't tried to give it back. :)





PC.
 
Wax your fridge, shower, washer, and dryer. I just bought a PC and can tell you I probably gonna ship out my old Waxmaster to my brother in law.
 
It's not that the Waxmaster is absolutely useless; it's just that I have no use for it and it's not worth the space it would take up in my garage.



IMHO the pad size is too big for doing cars. If I was doing planes, trains, boats or RVs, things with big flat surfaces, I might want a large pad size.



As a low powered consumer unit it isn't really useful for "working" any product. It's limited to "spreading stuff around". You could use it for wax or glaze but not any kind of cleaner or cutting polish.



Since it doesn't have hook&loop pads you're stuck with only using bonnets for everything. You have to hunt to find good bonnets for it.





PC.
 
I have a 10" waxmaster also with a bunch of terry bonnets, sometimes when im feeling lazy i use it to remove light coats of wax/polish etc. It doesent work too bad but i still have to go over it with a microfiber when im done:up
 
I suppose I could try and give it away too. I have to say, though, it is a lot easier to clean the terry bonnets as opposed to cleaning the pads. Maybe I'll just keep it to wax my wife's car. :D
