Default Porter Cable buffer kit special-the second coming

Back by popular demand, once again we offer the popular Porter Cable 7424 buffer. Many have taken advantage of our first offer. We will have this kit available until further notice. To anticipate the continued strong demand at this price, please allow several extra days with this special.

Powerful yet safe for the beginner or novice user. FREE 6" counterweight included in every order. Shipping just $9.95 in the lower 48 states. Contact us at steve@tropi-care.com for shipping quote outside the continental US. Our pads and accessories custom made by Lake Country Mfg.

For $161.99 + shipping, our new TCPC-10 kit includes 2-6.5" orange "light cutting/polishing" foam pads, 1 blue "final finishing" foam pad, 2 gray microfiber polishing bonnets for safe, effective residue removal, the Lake Country flexible backing plate and 2 ounce samples of our TC-3 Polish/Sealant xP, TC-6 Car Wash and TC-5 Detail Spray.

As an added incentive, select 1 free item valued up to $16.00 (your choice) in addition to your kit. Our last special included the TC-8 Swirl Cutter. Excellent for removing those ultra-fine lines associated with the continued washing/drying process. Want to try our Tropi-Care Carnauba Paste Wax ($18.99)? Provides additional protection when used over top of the TC-3 Polish/Sealant xP while increasing depth on darker colors. We'll just charge the difference in your order (just $2.99).



From here, you can assemble your own custom kit.

Yellow "medium cutting" pad-($9.99 each) for heavy swirl and medium scratch removal follow up with orange pad
Orange "cutting/polishing" pad-($10.99 each) excellent for fine scratch and swirl mark/hologram removal
White "light polishing" pad-($9.99 each) for use after orange pad for to remove very fine scratches
Blue "final finishing" pad-($9.99 each) for use to apply finishing polish/sealants or liquid waxes.

For questions or ordering, contact us at steve@tropi-care.com or call toll-free (866)341-0050. Sales tax added to TX orders.

This is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of this kit! This machine is a part of my personal detailing arsenal that I do not think I could go without. I would highly recommend it to anyone! It will allow you to really take advantage of products such as the TC-8 Swirl Cutter to provide you with an excellent finish!

For those of you who haven't got a Porter Cable or are on the fence about this, DO IT! It's a great deal and the products work really really well.

I've done my wife's Equinox, my Accord and parts of the Camaro with Tropi-Care's product line and the results are excellent. I intend to do a full-blown write-up when I have the chance, but I've been very impressed with the results so far.

Got mine, can't wait to use it! Just need to fix a couple scratches that are deeper than the paint first.

I have a stupid question: How should the pads be cleaned? Can they go in the washing machine?

They can, with the use of a mesh laundry bag. They sell them at Bed Bath and Beyond for about $5.00. Put the pads in the bag and set the washer to delicate.

Alternatively, you can wash them by hand. Gipraw had an excellent tip about this last week: Let the pads get completely dry, then use a small (quarter-sized) amount Murphy's Oil Soap and knead the pads under warm running water until clean. I did this last weekend and it worked very well.

Either way, allow the pads to air dry, then seal them in plastic bags until you use them again.

Steve I will get with you hopefully by the end of the week with some funding to order a kit myself! Looks like a great deal, and my car is getting a fresh paint job as we speak so I will need some great products to keep her clean!
