Powerful machine, user friendly, needs some updates though.
First off, I ordered this DA PC polisher on the 25th, shipped the following day and arrived in the morning of the 29th before I opened my shop. Thanks! I've been researching this DA polisher for quite some time now. Probably over a month. People have, for the most part, nothing but good to say about it. The professional detailers would say that it is a dated machine that lacks the power and inovation to keep up with the top tier polishers out in the market today. I also ordered a 6 inch backing plate to complete this polisher to fit my needs. This polisher does not come this a backing plate out of the box, and PC recommends only using a 6 inch plate. Initial thoughts out of the box: it looked like a solid quality machine. The plastic pieces feel durable. The cord is way longer than expected and made of highly flexible, almost rubber like, material. Again the cord seems durable. I did read the specs, cord length and weight, but the weight did surprise me. Its kind of heavy for a small machine. I'll get use to it. I don't like that it does not have a built in stand in the form of a square back to keep it from tilting over and possibly getting your pads dirty, just something to watch out for. Now for the kicker, literally. I'm kicking myself for not ordering the PC 7424XP sooner. I use a rotary because I thought it was the best/ fastest way to go. With a rotary you need skill and know-how and experience to get great results. In the wrong hands a rotary polisher can be dangerous. This DA polisher makes my life so much easier. I could probably get a beginner polishing paint with this polisher. As we all know that is not the case with a rotary. This polisher is very user friendly. The results it delivers are fantastic.
