wytstang said:Same difference swap out the sander for the polishing backing plate. And you will also need to buy the counter weight. That's the only differnce between the two, one comes with the backing plate and counter weight while the other just has the sanding unit.
Figment said:i have the 7336 that i bought at lowes, its the same as the 7424.just different stuff int the box. if you use a 6 inch backing plate you dont need to change the counterweight and lowes doesnt sell them.
i buy most of my stuff at exceldetial.com. if you want to buy locally you can usually pick most of the pads and backing plates at autobody supply places.

I won't need a counter weight for it either would I?
nbk13nw said:The PC7336 is a polisher as well as a sander, they just push the sanding since it is more likely to seel under that guise.
It comes standard with a polishing foam pad (GOod for plastic and glass, but I would not use it on the paint), the counterwieght is already installed as well. No need to find one unless it is missing.
I would go to http://www.autogeek.net/dual-action-polishers.html and look for some good pads. They come ina variety of flavors ranging from cutting pads (heavy, medium and light) to be used with compounds or other abrasive products, polishing pads and finishing pads. Foam, terry, MF and wool are available.
I went with the Edge pad system since it is a much easier pad change when working.. You also need to look at the products for polishes, compounds, waxes and sealants. The choice you make will depend upon what you are working with and the results your looking to finish with.
Check out their forums, a lot of really good info on there as well...
Autogeek.net is a great site for info and products I have quite a few products from them. However you can get better deals if you look hard enough (as you can see), you just have to piece it together and take shipping into account. Autopia.org is a great site to research info and see what the pro's like to use and how to use them. Knowledge is power good luck and I'll answer what I cank5zx said:thanks again.l That's alot of information esp. from someone who doenst use a PC. I researched online for several hours (see posts here and mustangforums, and I did googles., lowes site, PC's site, etc). Probably half my problem was not understanding basic hardware too good enough to know what I was reading. Anyway now the differences are settled. I am researching prices like figment advised now between the deal I posted above from autogeek and just getting what i need from other sources. will edit results in later. it seems like you and figment don't think that autogeek deal is so great. thanks

Figment said:you need to change you store, up at the top of page. type in zip code 33756 and it will bring up my local store. they have it for 109. then print that and bring it to your local lowes and they will match it.
