I need a porter cable to save me time... where should I get one? Ebay? What kinda pads will I need? Easy to use or will I screw something up if I don't know how to use it?

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

Very easy to use, just need to incorporate the right polishing/finishing pads with the correct polish/wax etc. It would be best to say, the Porter Cable allowed more time to be deticated towards a better, deeper, more shine.

Ebay was actually not very good price-wise on PC's. I got mine from an online tool shop, which I found on froogle.
Do a google search on the model number and Porter Cable and then click on froogle and see what pops up. Mine was $125 with a second counter balance weight for the larger pads and free shipping. Retails for over $200 if I'm not mistaken.

You can get this one for $149 from www.autopia.org:
"Machine polish your car, truck or SUV like a pro with the Porter Cable 7424 dual action, auto polisher!
Using the Porter Cable 7424 Polisher is like speeding your hand polishing to 1,000 times normal speed!
Free bottle of car polish with every machine!
To all intents and purposes, the Porter Cable 7424 Car Polisher is the industry standard car polisher. No other dual-action polisher even comes close in power, effectiveness or ease of use.
The Porter Cable 7424 comes equipped with a single polishing pad which is permanently attached to a backing plate. The single white pad works well with a bonnet for removing polish and wax film, but is not up to the task of serious polishing. For best polishing and waxing results, select our flexible Velcro backing plate and advanced polishing pads.
The Porter Cable 7424 car polisher features a random orbit (dual-action) polishing action for a swirl-free finish. While powerful, the 7424 will not scratch or burn even the most delicate clear coat paint finish. The 3.7 amp motor delivers plenty of torque, and the electronic variable speed control allows you to vary operating speed from 2,500 to 6,000 oscillations per minutes (OPM). For comfort, the hand grip can be attached to either side.
Porter Cable engineered the 7424 polisher to safely apply polish and wax in a manner similar to hand application. In a matter minutes, it creates a mirror-like finish and shine that would not be possible by hand. Unlike a conventional rotary buffer, the pad on the Porter Cable 7424 does not rotate, it oscillates. The "dual-action" (around + back and forth) motion occurs at such a high rate that the eye can not see the orbiting pad movement."
