I got mine from autopia.org. Got a discount off of it and everything. Orange, white, and black pads with the velcro backing plate. Best thing I ever bought for the outside of the car.

Have any of you guys ever used this place :
http://www.nacarcare.com/index.html

I ordered my pads from them over a week ago and haven't seen them. I got an e-mail from the co-owner today thanking me for my purchase and saying I should have received them by now. I sent a return email saying I never received them. Their 1-800 numbers are all recordings requiring you to leave your name and # so that no one will ever return it.

I would use caution with them....

It looks like it's owned by the same guy that owns autopia...if so, he's very reputable.

Yeah, I got the recommendation from autopia. I don't understand why they aren't here yet. They already charged my card. I would think they would atleast have someone answering their 1-800 number instead of having to leave voicemails...

Fordrules are you in OB? If so, you drove past my house the other night, White Cobra. I got my PC at the Lowes in OB back in September. PC 7424, you will need to order the a backing plate and better pads though. It comes with a pad that you can play with till you get a backing plate and some good pads. I have got pads for 3 or 4 different places. CMA, SMP, some Megs pads from a local paint shop, Sonus pads from autopia, etc.....

Stop by next time. If you want to try something, what started out as a Saturday project has gotten worse for me

Anybody remember when all you had was Turtle Wax and an old bath towel?

What's up?! Looks like I'm not alone in North Mississippi after all! I plan on ordering the PC soon. There's a car show this weekend in Corinth. My car and bike should both be there. Let me know if you want to meet up and make our way over there.

7336 = same Sh*t :eek: same machine but diffrent package.

i bought mine @ 57 ave i live in hialeah. =-) :thumbsup: the 7336sp the (P) stands for polish and the (s) for sanding. you bought the same one as me. And no that is not a velcro plate for pad. It is a velcro for sanig paper. you are good to go .but need to buy your set of pads.

here is the link where i bought my velcro kit that came with the pad. for 57 dollars with shipping. :rockon:
