I just called Lowe's and they have the PC7336 going for $125 right now. At that price, I probably will go through PakShak as he has been providing excellent service so far. Will have to get backing plate and pads from him anyways, so might as well pick it up all at one time. Now I just have to pick a line of polishes to try. It's between Menzerna, Poorboy's, 1Z and Optimum. I would be using these for our other cars and probably eventually on my GS300.

I used ScratchX to remove some water spots from my dad's SUV and my arm was aching after doing a portion of the roof. You can't really see them because the are only on the roof and you can't really see them from the ground and they aren't that noticeable. I know that they are there and will probably take care of them once I get a PC and all the stuff that goes along with it.

You better double check that purchase again if you did.
I'd return since it's a sander not a polisher.
Yep, the 7336.

"These tools are essentially identical in that they all use the same body."

This is the same as the 7424, and also is smoother than the 7424 since it has a bigger counterweight, since I am going to use 6.5" pads.

The only difference between the two is the counterweight, as the 7424 has a 5" and the 7336 a 6".

They probably have changed the counter weight..

On my 7336, I'm pretty sure its a 6"

Default 7424 (orbital buffer)

7424 (orbital buffer) is the best.

please steer clear of rotary buffers, as you are probley gona mess up your paint job.

7424 is virtualy iddiot proof as its an orbital buffer.
