Porter Cable 7424 XP and Meguiar's Polish Kit Reviews

Works. I was very nervous to start this process for the first time as I've never done this before. I wasn't sure how to apply. But after watching lots of videos i figured out a method of four drops on pad, smear on car in small section then remove in criss cross pattern slowly until product turns glossy. To a few sections to figure out the length of time. But got it. 105 used 5 speed. 205 used 4 speed. Black sealant used 3 speed. I also used a tooth brush to clean the pads after one side of car was complete. I didn't want to buy pads because i hopefully won't need to do this often. That was biggest help as a clogged pad decreased results significantly. Recommend. Now i want to tell my friends and do their cars with them too!

Like others have written, I was a novice machine polisher before purchasing this kit and I'm really glad to have selected it. I recently purchased a 2009 Toyota with very low miles, but amazingly dingy and dull Polar White paint. I used the 105 and 205 followed by good old Megs cleaner wax applied with a black pad and the results were spectacular. Part way into the job it became obvious I needed more 3M tape, larger bottles of 105 and 205, and a bunch more pads, but DI came through again Newbies: buy this kit, read Todd's write up on this system, and go for it. I doubt I could have done this job without DI!

Really can't beat the price of this package. This is an excellent starter kit, and will do a good paint correction for most cars on the road. Some cars with finicky or really soft paint may require different pads, but the yellow and black ones that come with the kit served me well. Got my trusty 2005 S2000's paint shinier and smoother than new, even with 150000 miles on the clock.

Excellent product that polished our cars to look better than new. I was a novice car cleaner that's never polished a car and now they looked like they came back from a high end detail shop. I would recommend this kit to anyone who has never detailed a car but always wanted to but fearing they would mess up their paint. You cannot go wrong with this kit.

With this kit I restored my flattened paint job on my e36 bimmer. Went from ugly and dingy to brilliant in a days work. I started doing the job by hand and then realized how long it was going to take. I found detailed image, purchased this product (which arrived quickly, btw), and knocked the job out in no time. The PC is a great tool that I feel will last a really long time and the meguiars compound removes alot of imperfections quickly while finishing without micro scratching. I would say you might be satisfied after using that and not even need to use the 205. Great product!

Nice equipment except the Meguiar's W67DA pad backing Plate came A-part after a few minutes of use, and went flying across the vehicle's hood.( no damage) I had to replace the backing plate with one from Graingers, locally to get the job done.

Great kit. Everything you need to get the job done. Can't do all the correction a true rotary is capable of, but I was well aware of the when purchasing and plan for this to be a stepping stone up to a rotary. Highly recommend.
