So ive norrowed it down to either a PC or a Dewalt Dw443, what one is better?

my recollection is that the dewalt is more expensive...
the pc is a great machine- but have to admit that i am biased cause i love my pc!

i use a separate pad for each car (i mark the back of the pad so i know which is which)- but you dont have to. and type of pads depends on what you will be doing with the machine.

I will be using it to apply and possibly remove AutoGlym Ultra deep shine and Super resin polish, after i have clayed it. Then topping off with AutoGlym Extra gloss protection(by hand).

Do you recommend wool or MF hoods to buff off? Is 1 pad per product enough for 1 car waxing or do they clog up and have to be replaced to finish the job.

I can get the dewalt from a hardware shop not far from me so it looks like it will be that, considering the cost and possible grief of importing the PC and transformer ect.

for buffing, i use a wool pad but put the mf cover over it...
probably two mf pads for our car is a good idea- as long as you apply the product sparingly this should be fine-
yup, they do clog (i scrape them as i go with a plastic spatula).
wash them with other mfs only and i use a sonus mf soap.
