If there is a Lowe's near you, try to find the 7336 for $100-109.
www.coastaltool.com has the 7424 with the 5 inch coutnerweight for $115 or so (shipped?), get the 6 inch counter weight because most people sell the 6 inch backing plate (CMA.)
As for pads, I use almost everyone in my kits from CMA, www.properautocare.com
It should be DM-KIT for the part number.

Yes the 7336 has the 6 inch counter weight on it already.
The 7335, 7336, and 7424 are all basically the same polisher. The counter weight is different and the itnended market, the 733 series being stock sanders, but can easily be used as a polisher, same for the 7424, just need the sanding attachments....

Just finished today(10-18-2010) this is a car which needed some pretty good paint correction, but other than that the owner takes VERY good care of it(unlike the previously completed job I did last week......).
Grabber orange with orange/black interior, cool American Muscleness to change the pace up from the usual(lol) eurotrash..........
The beginning.
Deep marring around hood latch.
After two hits w/compound and wool pad.
Marring on the top of front driver quarter panel.
Water spotting as well.
Front quarter panel finished down.
More examples of marring.[/B
]
50/50 of same area.
Window cover before correction.
After.
Top of drivers rear quarter.
Marring all cleared up.
2.5 inch deep scratch near fuel filler cap.
Reading to make sure enough clear to work with.
Machine sanded.
Wool & foam pad compounded.
Marred tailights.
Cleared up.
Marring on rear bumper.
50/50's.

Corrected.
Cluster of scratches.
Whole top of bumper smoothed out.
Checking one scratch that needed multiple passes to level.
DeWalt with it's torque and a edge wool pad making quick work of the scratches.
Same area all polished down.
Front bumper needed some love.............
After.
Factory graphics were faded and marred, tricky steps needed as I could not "Shine up" the matte finish.
50/50 of the rear wing.
Entire trunk/wing assembly looking better.
Correction work done, while the LSP was curing(Menz Powerlock in this case) it was time to strip the tires and polish the wheels.
A few final pics before going outside for sun pics(almost missed the sun again......winter is coming shorter days(not good).

She looks great! In my opinion yellow is one of those colors that can really stand out and turn heads as long as it is in proper condition. This baby certainly is now. Great job!

Great work as always. What did you use on the matte black portion of the paint job, that has always boggled my mind as far proper correction.

Yea, just one of your "typical" easy jobs Bob.
Once again, you deliver an outstanding job.:thumbup: I agree with Jon. When done right, this color looks fantastic.

Excellent correction work! Did you use the wool pad and compound on the black satin areas as well?

That would have jacked the graphics up!!, used Jesse's new finish polish(wolf's chemicals) with my Griots and finish pad with the "Slowness" (as in speed 2 on the machine, then back over it by hand with sealant as the final step).

Nice work but that color is putrid, all it needs is stop sign to swing out and stop traffic so the students can get on. C'mon Ford, do a yellow like the original Gone in 60 Seconds, not that Nick Cage crap - I'm talikng about the original!
