PC 7336 question

[clay]

Hi all:
I have an opportunity to buy a PC 7336. Looks like orbital speeds are from 2,500 to 6,000. From everything I have read so far, it looks like the speeds are too high for safe polishing and buffing. Any insights or opinions.
Many thanks
Clay

Where are you reading your information?

Not on this forum...


We teach people how to use these things each and everyday on the forum and at our Thursday and Saturday classes.

Just look what you can do...

Keep in mind that 2500 OPM is ALOT different than 2500 RPM. This is the easiest tool you will ever use on your car. Worth every penny.

Looks like orbital speeds are from 2,500 to 6,000.

Forget the technical aspect of the machine specifications, all you need to remember...

• 5.0 Speed Setting for removing swirls and scratches
• 3.0 Speed Setting for applying wax
• 5.0 Speed Setting for removing wax with a dry microfiber bonnet over a dry buffing pad.

We taught this guy how to polish out his 1941 Studebaker Coupe in about 15 minutes... This is his first time using the polisher...

This is correct.

Rotary Buffer offers so much power you can make a mistake real quick if you're not careful

Traditional Orbital Buffer so safe it's not effective for modern clear coats

G100/PC an excellent compromise between these two alternatives and thus the reason they are so popular.


Rotary vs PC vs Regular Orbital Buffer

If I can get the hang of it, anyone can. Its a great tool to have in your arsenal. Good luck.

Where? What price? New? I got one at Lowes for $25 (last display model) last Nov. Plan to crank it up soon.

Re: PC 7336 question

Wow...thanks for so many responses. Mike, the blue Lexus "after" picture you posted is what I am used to doing by hand. Took me at least 8-10 hours to produce that kind of flawless finish. I have used a 10" orbital before and just let the weight of the machine do the work. Still had to hand finish it though as I wasn't happy with the results. Guess I have a lot to learn (and a lot of confidence to build up). I just don't want to screw up the paint job on a brand new car.
Thanks all.

That Lexus is black...


The passenger side section was done by hand using ScrathX, DC2 and NXT Tech Wax Liquid and took about 30 minutes.

The drivers side was done using the G100, M80 Speed Glaze and topped with NXT Tech Wax Liquid and took about 15 minutes.
