Bought a Meguiars Dual Action polisher today
It was on for $199 and came with a back plate and two pads. Was going to get PC xp7425 , but this came with two pads
Now I need clay and cut/polish. I will practice on my 2005 PT turbo before the camaro! http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

That's not really that good of a good deal. Not sure if shipping to Canada would add more to the price. Also not sure of the difference between Canadian and US $$.

Canada is a great place to live but it comes at a high price, if you're a beer drinker you'll find out real soon what it cost to live in Canada. Congrats on the polisher, let us know how it works out for you.

Im thinking about getting this buffer package.I have never had one(or a nice car)and am nervous that it will actually put swirls in the paint from all the buffing.My paint is perfect,and just looking for a better/easier way to make her shine.What info do you guys have? Thanks http://www.amazon.com/Griots-Garage-...arage+polisher

As far as getting the Griot's Garage, great choice! Best entry level polisher hands down. Their polishes don't have much acclaim to them, but I tell you what will work if you make your own kit. Griot's Garage 6 inch 3rd generation Optimum Hyper Polish Optimum Hyper Compound 6 Lake Country flat 5.5 inch Pads - 3 white, 3 orange 5 inch Lake Country backing plate You're looking at probably 30 dollars more than the kit you listed, but I can pretty much guarantee this will work on your Camaro and will be much easier than the Griot's stuff you will get in the package deal.

If Lake Country 6" pads are anything like there 3" pads I'd pass, I use the CG Hex-Logic pads and found them much better then the Lake Country pads. JMO

I recommended the flat which are the cheapest and work very well. There are also hydrotech, ccs, and waverunner or something similar. I dislike ccs. I like hydrotech. I've never used the wave one. Which one are you talking about?

eUber pads are great. Then again Buff and Shine make most of these companies pads. Just head over to Autoality and pick up a 6 pack of buff and shine 5.5" pads or 2 meg's Microfiber pads.
Oh I don't know if your credit card has a price match but Amazon had this on their gold box deal today for $135. Mine does if it's a difference of more than $25. Here: Foam Pads Hydrotech Meguiar's Microfiber Cutting And make sure you have one of these as well

I have looked at the Porter Cable 7425XP, and the Meguiars and was leaning towards the PC versus the Meguiars from opinions and experience that members have suggested was user friendly and the quality? The biggest drawback is getting the pads locally in my area.
