Should I invest in a DA Polisher?

From all the research I've done...your unit appears to be the best unit at a reasonable price point.

OK...my new Porter Cable 7424XP polisher just got delivered this weekend...and awaiting some new Chemical Guys 5.5" pads and a great TORQ R5 Dual-Action Red Backing Plate (5 Inch)to use with it (since the backplate that comes with the polisher is reported to be somewhat marginal).

Boy did the Porter Cable 7424XP DA Polisher save some time!

Did 2 vehicles with the 5 step process:

Wash
Clay-bar
Polish
Glaze
Polymer Sealant

The PC DA Polisher unit cut the time in half for the last 3 steps, and assured great surface coverage for the Meguiars Ultimate Polish, Glaze 7, and Ultimate Liquid Sealant. No surface swirls, scuffs, or other marks - smooth as polished glass.
