Cool Looking to buy a Porter Cable 7424

I am looking for a Porter Cable like I said but I am wondering who to buy it from. I want to get of course a good deal. Where can a get a good deal ? I was about to order from a palce called Autogeek but I decided to wait and ask here.

Also, Have you guys heard about their Ultimate Detailing Machine ??? Should I consider it or stick with the proven Porter Cable ????

Thanks for any Info!

I'd be hesitant to get the Ultimate Detailing Machine Autogeek offers, simply because I'm familiar with the 7424 and its longevity. I've used mine a LOT and it hasn't given me one ounce of trouble so far. Will the other one be able to do the same?

And yeah, get it from Tropi-Care. Not only do they make really good products, they have really good prices too. And I always prefer to see someone support a sponsor.

SS DNA: I just answered your PM on the Porter Cable. It includes sample bottles of the polish, car wash and the detail spray. Let me know when your ready and I can get it headed your way.

Get it from tropi care and be done with it...they're one of the few sponsors that have reasonable prices.

The UDM was over-hyped according to some reviews. Based on those reviews, I'd say that the price premium for a UDM over a PC is poorly justified.

I picked up my PC some years/months ago at Lowes for cheap (~$90ish). Keep in mind that the 7336 = the 7424, and the only difference is the marketing.

I got my 7424 from a non-sponser but it included some other features that I wanted @ the time (mainly a couple of extra pads and towels).

The Tropi-Care deal is great and you wont be disappointed what-so-ever!
