Ask a Professional Detailer
I see alot of members talking about purchasing a Porter Cable and wanted to pass along a great deal I recently found. It's $94.50 for the Griots Garage polisher which includes a backing plate. Overall, the Griots is a more powerful unit than the PC and has a much more quiet motor. I own both, but if I were able to start over, I would have ordered the Griots.

You absolutely can get a ridiculously deep shine. A full correction WILL yield the best surface to give you the look you want though. I'd ditch the sheepskin washmitts as many of them marr the paint. Switch to a microfiber mitt like the one from Pinnacle. Blackfire Wet Diamond will give a great look and is easy on/off. What I found looks even better on that color is the hard to find Megs #16. I just came across 3 tins of the stuff which I'll be listing up soon as I constantly get people asking where they can get it.
Awesome. It actually just came to my attention that a friend of minehas everything I need for a full correction and detail. I went out and bought some things as well. Took your advice on the mitts, and got myself a couple pinnacle microfiber mitts. Also got some blackfire wet diamond, as well as their polymer spray for in between details.
My last question is this. I will not have the materials to do a paint correction on my own. I plan on doing it this time, then saving up for a year or so to purchase some quality goods. So at this time, can I use that blackfire wet diamond in the same way I would a caranuba wax? Just apply it by hand on wipe it off?

Everyone reading this that doesn't have a polisher and is in the market - this is as good of a deal as you'll find!
Even for $130, the Griots Garage is a great value imho.

Verdad Gallardo Yes, looks like it is out of stock now. I consider the polisher very noob friendly with the exception that you may burn up a pad or two while learning how to use it. Just respect the tool and its capabilities and follow proper polishing techniques and speeds. You'll be fine. I'd spend the extra cash to get the GG over the PC7424XP if I could do it all over again. Can't say its worked out poorly in my case though as I now have my GG as my primary correction tool and my PC as my primary wax/sealant tool. Next up is purchasing a Flex....
Even for $130, the Griots Garage is a great value imho.
