  • I really hope this isnt a dumb question

    I was at Lowes today and saw these two polisher/sanders. Will these work just as well as a DA AND be as safe??

    or


    Im just trying to find a da locally because i do not like to order online.
    Am i obsessed?? A car is the second biggest financial investment for most people, why not keep it looking better than new?

    Go with the PC,
    my neighbhor has something similiar



    And that B&D polisher looks similar, Ive tried his and even the slightest pressure causes it to slow down alot, Only good for waxing IMO

      The second one (the Porter-Cable) is the older version of the 7424XP. I would simply order a new PC or the G110V2 and go from there. However, you can use the older PC with no issues.

      The Black & Decker will not do much for you in terms of polishing (removing defects) but will do the job at waxing. I would buy a new PC or the G110V2 and get the best of both worlds.

        So i need an un bias opinion, which is better G110v2 or PC? Where would i get the correct pads for the PC? Can Megs pads work with the PC?

          I personally use and love the PC , nothing against the G110v2 but some people have said that they've have problems with them. Ive had no problems what so ever with the PCXP. Although It would be nice to have the G110v2 since its by meguiars.


          Yes you can use meguiars pads with the porter cable

              I believe that Porter Cable makes the G110v2 for Megs....not sure though. The difference is Megs has a better warranty I think...If you get the PC sander/polisher...don't use the white polishing pad that comes with it on your car.
              Black......the ONLY color!

                Thats what I thought, but I wasn't 100% sure and I didn't want to post bad info

                I used the white pad that came with it too polish my lawnmowers paint,

                  Porter-Cable does/did not make any version of the G110.

                  They used to make the G100.

                    Get the pc. The B+D is really a wax spreader. Really not powerful enough to tackle paint correction.
                    quality creates its own demand
