i just got my pc 7424 in the mail and i turned it on and it's loud, is that normal?
also does your pc vibrate alot at high speeds?
and if i'm using 6.5" pads can i use the 5" counter wieght or do i need another one?
is there any special techniques that you guys have developed with the pc that made the detailing easier/faster?

thanks for your help everyone

 

sure it's loud

i'll find the PC how to link when i am home tonight - best advise don't gove over a speed of 4

 

I dont find mine loud,than again I am deaf

Your counterweight is the right size for the pad you have.

Steve im not sure if this is the link you will post but its one that I have learned from

http://home.comcast.net/~michael.cohen1/De...g_Hand_Book.pdf

and Mike yep Steve does do a nice job with a PC

 

thks for the reply bass.
i've been doing some reading on the pc and they say to use speed 5 or 6 to remove swirl marks, etc. , is that not true?

 

Whens the next detail meet?? I need some of Steves "magic" on my paint!!

 

i hardly ever go over 4 for swirl removal and i use some aggressive compounds - the key is to keep it moving with slight pressure and good pads then work the compound into the paint

i know i have a great link at home on how to use the thing and nope it's not MikeyC's handbook

 

say the word Ryan - and if it's ok with Erick - we can do it anytime!

 

Looks like I'm buying wings at Wendells!!

 

thanx zippy for the reply and the link. the link states the same technique that i have read on several sites, so that's good. i guess i'll start with my dads car, then to my moms car, then to my brothers car, and if all of the above are successful i'll move to the s2000.

 

and bass ill be waiting for the guide that you have, thnx
