on a side note is this like one of those buffers that if you dont know what your doing can strip off the clear coat on like corners and stuff like that if you dont know what your doing... i know how to hand wax something but i never really used a good buffer before, anything ive used has been like $30 from pep boys lol

Thanks. I actually blacked them out about 6 months ago using Mothers back to black but they have faded over the last month or two. I'm going to finish off the bottle today and see how long it lasts this time. I really like the BBS rims, you dont see them too often on a truck.

Nope, you are thinking of a rotary. The appeal of a dual action polisher like the PC 7336/7424 is its ease of use for a newb (like me). About the only way you will hurt your truck with a PC is if you drop it on the hood. If you are serious about machine polishing check out this FAQ and www.autopia.org.
