Here it is, DETAILED the car with pc.

As some of you have read, I recently purchased the pc7424 and some menzerna products to detail my car. Today was a beautiful day in NYC so I decided to put this machine to work. What I did was:

Wash
Clay, no clay lube, just soap and water, seems to work quicker
Wash again
Applied Klasse AIO with pc at speed 5 with a black LC pad
Applied Platinum Series Turtle liquid wax at speed 2-3, also black pad
Buffed the wax off, and results were an incredible looking finish.

There are still some swirls that are visible since the klasse is not abrasive, but since the car is still bramd new, i didnt want to use any abrasive polishes, Ill do that later on. The pc works great and it literally took me 15 minutes to apply the wax. This is great news for me since I wax my car almost every week during the summer. Tomorrow I will definitely put on my rims and I will take pics to show my hrad and successful work.
Thanx for the help you guys gave me before doing the car.

I am looking to clear up some swirls on my Honda before I work on the G. Are you happy with the ease of use with the PC and what videos or reading do recommend if any? Oh did you get a good deal on the PC? If so where?

The pc is probably one of the easiest machines you can use, and the work it does is phenomenal. I suggest you go to autogeek.net and check out thir videos, or better yet, go on youtube.com and tipe porter cable 7424. It will show you some very interesting things. I got the pc from detailed image as a kit and paid 159.99. I got a kit that had the the velcro backing plate and just white and black pad, since I didnt need anything that would have to work with anyhting very abrasive. They are a great company, i would reccommend them to you if you are looking to buy the machine, great customer service.

can you use this pc for waxing the car? and taking off the wax? or is that not a wise idea? i'm not talking about the liquid waxes they they use, more like some turtle wax or something
