Default paint correction question

hey guys, is there any amount of paint correction that can be accomplished by using a polisher like the ones the local parts store sells? or is it a must to get a pc 7424xp? my paint isnt that bad just some light swirls. thanks

Here is a black Accord I did today with a Porter Cable 7424XP took about 10 hours. With the right pads and compunds you can do anything with this buffer that you can do with a rotary.

porter cable is a much better machine, and its DA so its really good for begginers, I know a lot of the ones at autopart stores are rotary and garbage.

Look into the HD polisher by 3D. I haven't used one yet but have talked to several people who have including GoFast and they all love it.

Originally when 3D released that polisher it was supposed to be sold at WalMart and Cosco but I don't know if that ever happened or not.

There is nothing wrong at all with the PC7424. That's what I started with and is capable of great results.
