I do. I can get polishing results I never could by hand. I bought mine from Click Coastal tools for $119. (Autopia has the PC, Pads, for $189.You will need pads though. I use "Lake County" pads. Autopia has a nice set of heavy duty polishing, finish polishing and fine polishing pads. Click Here for pad kit
Here is an article on using the PC PC 7424 Using
Hope this helped.

I do. It makes my life a lot easier. I use it for compounding, polishing, and applying waxes. It's not only faster, but it can give great, consistent results too.

Here's another couple of links:

It's not cheap, especially when you start adding up the costs for pads, polishes, etc. But if you're going to spend a few hundred bucks on a header, or spoiler ...
