7424 Random Orbital Buffer


Manufacturer: Porter Cable

The Porter Cable 7424 has revolutionized the automotive detailing industry and quickly become the favorite tool of professional and weekend detailers alike. The key to the Porter Cable 7424 being so effective is the even distribution of pressure and heat over the entire 6.5-inch foam pads. When doing similar hand applications you exert varying levels of pressure through just your fingertips. This buffer evenly breaks down the product and works it in to the clear coat for optimal results. The heat and pressure needed to properly work in a polish is almost impossible to get from hand applications so the Porter Cable 7424 is especially good at safely applying your favorite polish. You can use the buffer with just about any detailing product such as polishes, glazes, sealants, waxes, etc. It only weighs 6lbs so it’s easy to operate and not tiring like heavy rotary buffers or hand applications. Traditional rotary buffer spin continuously in one direction generating tremendous heat, while the Porter Cable 7424 moves in a random orbit motion. The random orbit motion generates far less heat so you buff safely and don’t burn your paint. Save yourself time and effort and get more out of each detail with the Porter Cable 7424. The dramatic results from this buffer have made it a must have for detailing enthusiasts and professionals!

The Porter Cable 7424 comes standard with a fixed backing plate on a low quality pad that we don’t recommend using on your vehicle. We strongly recommend you use a hook & loop backing plate and high quality pads. The backing plate screws directly in to your Porter Cable 7424 and allows you to easily swap and clean pads. The different textured pads allow you to get more cutting power with a polish or delicately apply your favorite sealant.

I recently obtained a Porter Cable 7424 Random Orbital Buffer, and I am so impressed by the results of using it on my car, I have a black car, and at first was sceptical of using it. I was very pleased with the results, not one swirl mark, and some I had are now gone! This product is so user friendly as well. I just used it to apply a wax this time, and I will for sure be using it in the future! I give this product 5 Stars!

Is there anything bad to say about the PC 7424? I finally went for it and purchased one after reading about it and seeing results on various car and detailing forums. It is far superior to the random orbital car buffers you see in the typical store. I was able to pick it up and start using it and am pretty satisfied with first time use results. I keep saying that I wish I could've bought some patience with the product - you will be amazed by the results if you just take your time.

Don't waste your time and money with the barely useful buffers from WalMart or Sears. Get the PC and don't forget the 6" backing plate and counter weight along with some pads. You will love it!

Best buffer to start detailing. Works great with moderate swirl correction, versatile as far as various pads and backing plates go, and is very reliable. Whether you're a weekend detailer or a pro, a PC 7424 is a great tool to have.
