Product Description
Porter Cable has upped the ante with their new buffer, the 7424XP. The PC 7424 has been the detailing standard for many years as it was proven to be paint safe, reliable, versatile and effective at properly applying products and breaking down polishes at an affordable price point. The new model, 7424XP, has taken all of the great features of the 7424 model and improved upon them, specifically with the power. The motor was upgraded from 3.7 amps to 4.5 amps, along with faster orbiting speeds. The 7424 oscillated at 6,000 OPMs, while the 7424XP oscillates up to 6,800 OPMs, over 13% faster. The larger motor also allows you to apply more pressure without the unit bogging down so quickly. The new PC 7424XP also redesigned their on/off switch as well as the placement of the speed dial for better ergonomics. For more information you can read the instruction manual that ships with the product.The new Porter Cable 7424XP now includes a 3 year limited warranty, 1 year free service and a 90 day money back guarantee (through Porter Cable).
To use any of the Lake Country pads you must invest in a hook and loop backing plate. Also, be sure to read over our Polishing Guide for the best results.

Now it's easy to to produce awesome polished finishes. By the way, with a good cutting polish like Meguiars M105, this tool with an LC yellow pad makes short work of removing haze/cloudiness from headlights. Finish with a blue pad and M205, and headlights look brand-spanking-new in 20 minutes, no fuss, no muss.
Totally satisfied with this quality tool.

Safe to use (even for people new to machine buffing/polishing) since it is a 'random' orbital buffer and not a rotary. Almost impossible to mess up your paint with this machine (compared to a rotary which requires a high degree of skill and experience).
Easy to use. Fits nice in the hands (I use it without the included handle, though some might like the handle). Variable speed control gives you a lot of options when buffing (slow vs fast). The right amount of power for the average car owner to deal with just about every situation they might encounter. Produces excellent results (on paint that is in pretty good shape, or paint that has defects) that cannot be duplicated using one's hands alone (think electric toothbrush vs manual toothbrush). For example: I had some nasty water spots that had etched into the paint that I could not remove by hand - using this buffer they were gone in a couple of minutes.
I use the 5.5" Lake Country pads with the 5" backing plate which was a nice size for me. Can also swap out backing plates so I could use the 4" backing plate or 6" backing plate as well. I use the LC Orange pad for defect work, LC White for polishing and LC Black or Blue for sealants.
This product is amust have for anyone serious about how their car looks.
Higly recommended.
