I am not a Detailer by any means...just a clan car person..I just got a new Red Ford Ranger and a green Honda .and i want to keep them up..I have been reading on the polshing using a PC..now my Question is what model is better for me...a 7336 or a 7424..please explain the difference in the both...remember I have never used one before ..just used pain elbow grease..but now I have a bad shoulder so need some power other than my own power.. Thanks so much

    AL-53,

    Welcome to DC!

    The 7424 and 7336 are the same machine.......... used the same. I believe the difference is in how they come configured. The 7424 comes with the polishing pad, and the 7336 comes with the sanding pad. I like to outfit them with a good 5" hook & loop backing plate, with 6 1/2 pads. Other`s outfit them a little differently.

    Hope this helps.

    The 7424, 7336, 7242SP, and 7336SP are all the same basic machine. What differs is the included accessories. I believe the 7424`s come with 5" counterweights, while the 7336`s have 6" counterweights. Some come with a polishing pad, a sanding pad, or both. Vendors may also offer bonus kits which include both counterweights and a velcro backing plate.

    Here are some links that you may find useful -

    I personally prefer to use a 6" counterweight and 6" velcro backing plate with 7.5" pads. However, many other DC members prefer to use 5" counterweights and 5" backing plates with 6.5" pads. There`s no right or wrong answer here.

    Actually, it`s
    Coastal Tool 7424 Polisher and Sander

    But, as Jim said, you can also support a Detail City sponsor by purchasing through PAC. Don`t forget the 10% discount for members as well as the free shipping offer for the month of March.
