You can buy a Porter-Cable random orbital polisher for a couple of hundred less that does the same job. Why pay more?

I am a Corvette guy - We pay more for everything!!!

In the videos I viewed and everything I have read, they seem like a quality machine. I can't really find anything negative posted about them anywhere - Except price.

I like it because in the hands of an amateur detailer (ME!)it looks like it is less likely cause any damage. That is assuming their claims are true.

Either way, I scored one on EPay for a fair price so I guess I will have first hand knowledge soon.

Thanks guys!
