What color is your Dak? Ive heard from several car detailers that usting an orbital waxer on dark colors will leave swirls if your not careful.

I used a friends Wen polisher and found it worked okay but it is more of a home unit. I spent a little more and bought the Porter-Cable 7424. This machine is very powerful, well made, and also light weight. If you want the best results and especially if you will put it to commercial use, buy the Porter Cable. I believe it cost me $119. :)

Dirty D , it was only $49. Its not a 2-speed, I didn't want to get anything to powerful for fear of burning the paint,I have heard this could happen if your not carfull.
Steve Reilkl,my truck is black,thanks for the warning, I'll have to let you know how I do.

I find just doing it by hand works just as well. Also i think you have more choices of what to use to take off the wax and or polish. I've yet to find a really soft bonnet for waxers but i can always find an extremely soft towel (even if i have to spend the few extra bucks for one). Meguiars just came out with a product called the Ultimate Wipe and im gonna give it whirl when i wax the Dak in a few days.

Ended up doing it by hand,the orbiter was just to big around at 10in. I didn't feel comfortable around the front fenders,afraid of burning the paint.
I'm gonna take it back Sunday.I never even pluged it in, just heald it up to the truck.

if you want it to look like a piece of glass get a mothers california gold clay bar kit the paint will be slicker than a wet snatch not to mention the incredable shine you get when your done

Redbone, I have usued the clay bar from Meguiar,s and I did like it. I now use the cleaner Deep Crystal System step 1 , also from meguiar's,and can get the same results.
Next time I will try the Mothers clay bar to see what I like better. Thank you for the sugggestion.

I have a black car and I'm considering if i should use my new WEN 10" orbital polisher on it. WEN says it won't burn, I'm sure it will if you hold it in the same place too long. I think the ones that burn have higher rev's/min. Anyone have experience using the WEN 10" on black paint? Will I end up seeing swirl marks?

I just got a Wen 7000 at an estate sale for $5.00! It's in really good shape. But, does anyone know where I can buy replacement pads and how I change them? Thanks.
