Cool...I bought one last week and bought some EX-P too. You will love the PC. I've heard lots of good reviews of the VM EXP combo.



One tip when applying EX-P (and probably everything else too)...you really don't need that much product when using the PC...much less than when applying by hand. I kept adding EX-P to the pad thinking that I needed more...when I was done it was not fun trying to clean all the EX-P out of the pad...talk about a thick product!



A little goes a long way!
 
oh the fun you'll have with your new PC! and i'm sure MattZ28 will teach you all you need to know! :xyxthumbs
 
I ahve bought SOOOOO many different products because of MattZ28 and I dont know which one to ever try.



I have the complete FK1USA.com package which includes the decontaim kit( which I used last week )

then it has 3 steps of sealants and a pink wax

-very good product i tested this out on my hood today and WOW.

I also have the Quick detailer ( very nice product )

the Quick Wax for just after washes ( great shine restorer, I like it )



Then I also got S100 paint cleaner/ swirl remover and S100 pure carnauba wax

-never used the paint cleaner, but did try the wax, defianatly MY current FAVORITE wax.



I also have a complete line of Zaino Products

-awesome look but never had much luck getting it to last.



other misc products I had before the above products and never plan to use again. Infact I dont know why I havent thrown it away yet.



3M swirl remover = Didnt remove ****

Rain X quick spray wax = never used

2001 liquid wax = complete crap never used again

Turtle wax paste wax = I dont know where it came from and I have never used it.



Think this is enough.????? NOPE



Thanks to MattZ28 I just ordered Vanilla Moose and EX-P with my PC.



So my next pictures will be with the following

Vanilla Moose

2 layers of EX-P

1 layer of FK1 Pink Wax

Then I will probably follow up with S100 wax after 48 hours



I'm catching the PC craze ! I want it now, I keep staring at my detail stuff wishing my Porter Cable was there.......only a few more days to wait:dance
 
I'm going to be joining the PC crowd soon. I'm a little shocked at the cost of the various pads, however...



Who ever said making your car look great was cheap? :D



I'm thinking it is cheaper for me to buy the 7336SP (model#?) from Lowes and order pads online than it is to buy everything through online retailers. :nixweiss



My steps will include:



-Wash (Meguiar's Gold Class-by far my favorite wash)

-Clay

-Swirl Remover (undecided on product)

-Klasse AIO

-Klasse SG x2

-P21S x2



Need to read up a bit mroe on P21S but I am almost positive I have read of many people layering it over SG.

Cool, you got logged on!



That is a popular combo...personally I think it would look better on a darker car...our silver is pretty light.
 
The PC is a must have for anyone on this website. I debated for a long time about whether to buy one or not and my only regret is not buying it sooner.
 
mtodde,



Yeah, I've thought about the P21S on darker cars versus our light silver. My dad's vehicle is black and once I remove all the surface scratching I think P21S would look great on it. My mom's car, like mine, is silver but slightly darker (Toyota's Thunder Cloud). I really like the effect the Klasse twins give on silver but if I can enhance it, I definitely will. Have a suggestion for a carnauba topping for silver? S100? Nattys?



Have thought about just using good ol' Meguiars #16...
 
after reading all these posts and seeing all the pictures, i am about to buy one myself. look what u guys did. buy the way, what is the difference between the 7424 and the 7336sp? and how will it affect the results of the detail?
 
I went to Porter Cable's website and compared the 7424 against the 7336. Same specs. I think the only difference is the 7424 comes with a 5" backing plate whereas the 7336 comes with a 6".
