porter cable questions??

Well I got a black camaro and now i have swirls. Ive done some research and getting a porter cable is the way to go to get them out. What i want to know is how easy is it to use...will i damage my paint more if i use it?, because i am not experienced at all with one. What kind should i purchase?

blacks a bitch, but its a sexy bitch when its clean

thanks guys

It's VERY easy to use. You pretty much have to TRY to screw up your paint.

Maybe these threads will help:

look for some of my recent posts since using the TropiCare / Porter Cable package. I'm very pleased. It's very easy to use, just go with the 1" per second rule of thumb and you can't go wrong. I started with the TC8 Swirl Remover and it took care of some scratches that I never could've removed by hand. Followed up with the TC3 polish sealant and my paint never looked so good.
