BUT, I plan to get a buffer this spring finally. My paint/CC took a serious beating this winter in Chicago. I havent even given it a good wash yet cause all the scratches are gonna eat away at me lol.

Question is... anyone use this Meguiar's DA? Just wondering, seems like everyone loves the PC. Only ~$30 more than the PC.

It's a very good machine. You will like it. The PC was the industry standard for along time so it has a good reputation. But you will be fine with the Meguiar's one. They out out good stuff.

This one is also nice if you are on a budget. Noe you want this one. You also want to replace the cheap backing plate with a 5" backing plate so you can use 5.5" pads.

I had a chance to use this one and it does have more power than the PC. It's also much louder.
