Yeah. I use a Porter Cable 7424 also. It rocks. It's virtually impossible to burn your paint using that.

Check out the packages this guy has, sometimes his sales are incredible. I just picked up a porter cable I've yet to try, can't wait.. If you look on the right side of this link you will see a Sonus kit that I believe is the best package deal I've ever seen, that's one of the reasons I snagged it. $195.00 and you have everything you need, I've used Sonus products, they are from Germany, I find them to be excellent.

Thanks again guys. Porter Cable it is then, the price is a bit more palatable also. I had been using a Wen unit that my father bought / used in the 70's, it was built like a tank and nearly weighed as much, it finally gave up the ghost a couple a years ago. I'm not very fanatical about polishing / waxing cars but in working on the Boxster in the past few days I've noticed alot of fine scratches in the clear coat, time to do something about it.

It looks like Porter Cable has replaced the 7424 with the 7424XP. I think the XP may have a top speed of 11 instead of 10: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbVKWCpNFhY

+1 on the Porter-Cable, though I'm a bit late to the party. I've used mine for the last several years and even our top PCA concours guy (National PCA Judge and competitor) swears by it.

I think the main benefit of the Cyclo is that it transmits less vibration to your wrists. I picked one up used, and they are built like a tank! I haven't actually used it on my Boxster yet, but did test it out on my Mazda, and even used it to clean a problem area of my kitchen floor.
