Porter cable 7424 VS Meguiars g-100

[Aloger]

Hi there first time posting on this board

I want to buy a polisher either the PC 7424 or the Meguiars g-100. What is the difference between the two. I know Meguiars has a lifetime warrenty but is there any other difference since the PC 7424 is a lot cheaper up here in Canada.

Thanks a lot

This forum is awesome

Basically is the same machine I have the porter cable 7336

as The Doctor detailer said the two machines are basicly the same but you will need to buy a new backing plate

This link might also help: which polisher ?

[TZScales]

The machines are identical. The exception is that the G100 has a lifetime warranty.

[Erik Mejia]

Same machine, although the g-100 is backed by a lifetime guarantee. I believe ADS has some good packages at reasonable prices.

[farmboy]

I wish I would have bought the G100 from ADS. It would have cost the same after buying the backing plate for my PC, but I would've never had to buy another one. With electric tools you never know when they will quit.

What is ADS and do you have a link?

Thanks,

So is the 7336 the same as the 7424? I can buy the 7336 locally at Lowes for $109 but it says it's the sander/polisher. Was curious if the two are the same.

Thanks
Mike

Go to the link that gb387 provided. It explains the difference between the 3. ADS is a great place for Meguiars products.

Thanks, that explains it. Should have checked out the link first.
Guess I'll go ahead and get the PC 7336 and order the backing plate and pads from Megs. Now I can get more of the Detailers products with the money I'm saving!

Please don't ask other members to break the forum rules. It causes me to stop what I'm doing and play Policeman. I don't like playing policeman, so please read the forum rules. If everyone would take a moment to read the forum rules then I wouldn't have to post messages like these, which I don't really like doing.

Thank you.
