Porter Cable 7424XP

This new Porter Cable 7424XP creates a professional shine in half the time!

Not content to rest on their laurels, the engineers at Porter Cable have taken their best-selling, dual-action polisher, the 7424, and made it into a super-polisher! The new Porter Cable 7424XP incorporates a beefed-up, 4.5 amp, motor, a wider speed range, improved ergonomics and a heftier on/off switch. While each change is small, the net result is a wonderfully well-balanced, comfortable-to-use polisher that now has the power to tackle virtually any detailing task. What hasn't changed is the random, swirl-free polishing action that will not scratch or burn the paint or clear coat and the field-proven mechanism that has earned the reputation of being bulletproof.

Tech Note: Technically, this polisher is classified as an orbital polisher. It is designed to safely apply polish and wax in a manner similar to hand application. It minutes, it creates a mirror-like finish and shine that would otherwise take hours of hand labor. It will not create swirls or remove your car's clear coat finish.

The pad does not rotate in the conventional sense, it oscillates. This "jiggling" occurs at such a high rate that the eye can not see any pad movement. This is normal. This is the way the polisher is designed to work. This polisher is not designed for heavy compounding and may not fully remove scratches, deep swirls or paint imperfections. To completely remove swirls and scratches, consider a professional, circular polisher such as the Makita 9227, or DeWalt 849.

This is the stock machine as it comes from Porter Cable. It has one medium density white pad which is permanently attached to a backing plate. The single white pad supplied with the polisher may be sufficient for the week-end enthusiast but its not enough flexibility for the serious detailer nor does it allow you to use any of our hook and loop backed accessory pads.

Should you decide to upgrade this machine to use any of our 6-1/2 inch or 7-1/2 inch Constant Pressure, Foam Pads, all you need is a 6 inch, Hook and Loop Backing Plate.

For more flexibility, see our 7424XP including a Backing Plate and a 6.5" CCS White Pad. While slightly more expensive, this machine comes with a 6 inch Hook and Loop Backing Plate and one CCS, White Foam Polishing Pad. This hook and loop backing plate allows you to use any of our hook and loop backed foam polishing and finishing pads.

Answers to commonly asked questions:

Q: The pads on my polisher do not rotate/move. Is it defective?
A: No. The pads do not rotate, they oscillate. They are moving but they are moving at a speed too fast for the eye to see. This is the way the machine is designed.
Q: The center, metal casing of my machine gets very hot. Is this normal?
A: Yes, this is normal. The light grey, metal casing between the two darker grey, plastic end caps gets very hot in normal operation. Always grip the machine using the darker grey plastic end caps.
Q: How many extra pads do I need?
A. Waxes and polishes should not be applied using the same pad. Because polishing is cleaning the surface, polishing pads can cake with residues and grime before the entire car is polished. I typically use two White Foam Polishing Pads to polish my car and one Red or Gold Foam Finishing Pad to apply the final liquid wax or paint sealant.

Note: Changing pads requires a 6 inch Hook and Loop Backing Plate which does not come with the Basic machine.
