Came on, this price is a rip-off. google porter cable 7424 and see what other reputable stores sell it for.
NO POLISHER IS WORTH 350 dollars. DON'T BUY IT FROM THIS SELLER. Are these people NUTS.
I did research on what polisher to buy about 2-3 months ago. WHAT.Look anywhere but here for this tool. I am writing this review because the markup on this tool is ridiculous.
CoastalTool currently has it at just over 100 - still not as low as it should be, but 350-some dollars. TOTAL rip-off I stored this link as it was looked up to a fair amount and at the time listed for 75 dollars - that's right 75 dollars.
I came back to a 350-some dollar tool.
Even 179.00 without accessories is ridiculous. You can buy these all over the net for 129.00 plus shipping.They are great items but 355.00-come on people.
I do not own an XP, so I cannot comment on the claims.Autogeek.net is an Amazon affiliate, and sells the PC7424 for about [.]. The XP is advertised as more powerful (4.5 vs 4.0 amp motor), a more ergonomic design, and lower vibration. The 7424 is being replaced by the 7424xp.
It takes the work out of the polish & wax routine, and lays a more even coat of wax than I can.In addition to auto maintenance duty, I use this tool to clean & polish around the house: grout, tile, flooring, counter tops, shower stalls, bath tubs, etc. For safety reasons, make sure you plug it into a GFI protected circuit if using this tool around water.**Do not use the same accessories on your car after using them for household chores. This is a well made tool that will greatly reduce the time you spend on vehicle polishing and waxing chores.
Household chemical & abrasive residue on the accessories can harm the finish on your vehicle**. You will still need to spend some $$ on additional polishing and waxing pads, so figure on $150 for everything you need to make your vehicle shine and protect it's finish. With the brush attachments, you can even clean carpet.
It is much better and faster at scrubbing than I am.
Couple this unit with Lake Country Foam Buffing pads and you have a machine that fits right in detailing professional's tool kit. The Porter-Cable 7424 is a great piece of equipment for anyone who wants to wax/buff and polish their car. It is safe enough for a beginner to use without fear of damaging the paint on their car.
