plus it works great on the motorcycle too!!!
Thank's, I've got the PC7424 so I just need to get a 3in backing plate and pads but I use my Makita rotory polisher most of the time just because it's gets the job done fast.

I really need to spend some time polishing my truck the paint is trashed.....

That sucks......

I've got to get mine to the body shop again but I'll probably wait until next spring the PTM mirrors and handles have taken a beating and I've got a few large stone chips that need attention. Then every leading edge on the front end is getting the clear 3M protective wrap so I don't have to do this ever again.
