From what I understand here, the only difference is the counterweight. But from what i've been reading up to this point is that the 7424 is 'dual' action and has an additional pattern so you can't burn your paint and that, in turn, makes it nearly impossible to remove all scratches and swirl marks. And, that difficulty in burning the paint makes it ideal for the novice.

If it doesn't remove all scratches, then I would rather goto Lowes and get the 7336, then buy additional pads from one of our sponsors.

This is what I am about to purchase from AutoGeek but now I don't know if the 7424 is right for me.

I want to buy something now and use it with confidence 5 years from today. could anyone shed more light for me?
 
Looks like a nice package. You will be able to remove nearly every inperfection with 7424 with patience and the right pad & product. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Both the 7336 and 7424 are the same dual action random orbital polisher/sander and yes the only difference is the counterweight.

If I remember right, the larger counterweight reduces vibration with larger backing plates (6") and pads.
 
There shouldn't be any confusion. As I said in the last post the only difference is the counter weights. There are doth the dual action polishes that spin and jiggle. Look at Shiny LIl Detailers video in the other thread when he holds the PC to the paint without moving it- no burns no problems. That package would be the one I'd recomend. Once you get it, you wont know how you said the PC wouldn't be right for you. A 3 year old can use it and do no harm. Theres nothing to be confused or worried about and your car will look 100x better when you are finished with it.
 
Sweet! That clears up everything ;) I'm gonna order that and have my 3 year old girl polishing my car next week LOL

Thanks a ton :D
 
I just bought the same kit and I'm very happy with it. I used it on my black Denali and was nervous at 1st but it is very easy to use.

Just a little hint the Pinnacle web site has it with FREE SHIPPING! and use DC for a 10% off, also I bought the $189.00 deal and paid 170.00 free shipping! now that was a good deal!

Yep, as the others said, these machines are absolutely identical - except the cw. Where did you find the 'additional pattern' BS?

Ah, and the other part is a juicy BS as well. It has enough power to be able to remove/correct heavy defects.

Exactly. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I'd be fairly confident in handing my PC to a responsible 8 year old and putting them to work. You can certainly cause damage on old, thin/brittle paint, but on anything relatively new, there won't be much risk beyond dropping the machine against the paint and chipping it that way. :D

Well, yes... but there ARE still going to be some situations that you'll need a rotary to remove defects with. However for someone looking just to do their own vehicles, and someone who is presumably keeping them up on a regular basis, the PC will handle 99.9% of what you're likely to run into. :howdy
