Default The 7424 can be either the 5" or 6" counterweight.

Original factory spec is the 5-inch weight. My 7424 definitely came with it. Still have that in a drawer somewhere.

Afaik, some retailers are swapping it out to the 6" counterweight before selling. It *may* also be possible that new batches of 7424 are coming from the factory with 6" weights now (unconfirmed tho).

Default My thoughts

You will go broke if you try and use only those products to detail with. Find your local detail supplier and see what they have to offer. you should be buying in bulk as much as you can, for wheel cleaner, shampoo, wax's, and other stuff like that. most of your customers wont even really know or care for the expensive stuff. give the optimum line a try its alot cheaper. As far as the little green clean machine goes its a good machine and definatly worth buying. I have a $700 extractor that just broke so I bought the LGCM as a back up And I have to say it does a pretty good job. its not quite as good and not as fast but a very nice machine. Your on the right track though practice on your buddys cars.

Default Actually, not from the factory. The 7424 has the 5" while the 7336 has the 6".

As onuris noted, some resellers install the 6" weight or include it with the machine. We are a factory authorized distributor.

Default speed 3.5 with an orange pad and menzerna ip will net you nothing

crank it to speed 5 or 6. don't worry, you won't burn your paint. I'd suggest getting yellow cutting pads incase the orange doesn't cut deep enough and a green pad. the final polish II works well with a white and green pad.

and if you're using the high gloss pads from classic motoring... the black pad is for glazing...the red pad is for sealant.

So black pad = finishing glaze and red = FMJ? (I put glaze on before FMJ, correct?)
