i know everyone supports ADS here, but autogeek has the 7424 in kit form. can someone look at this autogeek link and recommend a kit for a black truck with intermediate swirls?

Guess it comes down to what product line you want to try. Most people in here use Meg's stuff (ADS,) and there's a few who use primarily other products. AG has Pinnacle, Menzerna, Optimum, Wolfgang and PB's, maybe others. I personally like PB's stuff for swirls, but I have never used Megs #80 or #83 that many people here swear by.

*shrug*

 

Personally, I'd go with the #3 kit from Auto Detailing Solutions. I've had great luck with both companies though. It just comes down to personal product preference. I love most of the Meguiar line up and only venture out of it for a few products. I'm biased. :o

 

true. the only thing i've ever used is meg's. basically, what kills me is the fisher price looking G100. the 7424 looks a little stouter. i think some have said the build quality is better too.

 

There's no quality difference between the G100 and the PC7424. Actually I think it's easy to say the G100 is a much better deal because it comes with a lifetime warranty since it's a Meguiar product.

 

G100 is 7424

G110=Fisher Price looking machine.

I have had great experiences with ADS. Rick is a class act.


EDIT - Dang Thump you are fast. I should have said ^^^^^^^^^^^^What he said.

 

They're pretty much the same machine. My G100 is a 7336. I think older G100s had a different model number, could be wrong. Lifetime warranty is what made me go to ADS

 

Are you sure it's a 7336? Mine is a 7335. Weird.

 

Yup.. That's what I said. Pretty sure they're all exactly the same internally.. But I'm not about to take it apart and find out. Maybe mine got stamped differently. Haha

 

Now I have to check mine when I get home.

 

Same machine, different counterweight.

A big decision factor for me would be the lifetime warranty that the G-100 brings to the table. While one wouldn't expect for the machine to poop out, the 7424/7336/7335 will have a 90-day/1-year (labor/parts). Meguiar's warranty is covered by them - not Porter Cable. Obviously, they're not sitting in a back room in Irvine trying to diagnose why a G-100 isn't working; they're simply sending out a replacement.

Brushes in motors do go bad... electrical parts do go bad.... things do happen. The G-100, to me, is the obvious choice.

 

i was in the same boat.. and even though the PC was about 30 dollars cheaper.. that lifetime warrenty sucked me right in.

 

Atleast Meg's warranties arent like Dodge's. ADS for me. I think Rick should start giving me discounts since Ive lost track of how many orders Ive had from him. Hey, Im on a first name basis with the UPS man now. Brown can start having cheaper shipping, if they really wanna know. (sorry, lots of jumbled thoughts in here)

 

i know its always a good "just in case", but has anyone ever ran into issues and needed to use the warranty...

 

I know of at least 5 people off the top of my head that have either utilized the lifetime warranty or have had to replace a PC-branded device.

While it is rare, no electric motor will run forever.
