I looked up www.properautocare.com and the earliest would be next tuesday on 2nd day so that is not quick enough. I was going to pick up the PC tonight at Lowes after work and I wanted to buff the crap out of my car this weekend and treat it like royalty before the rain comes.

Lowes treats the 7336 as a sander, not a polisher. We're fortunate that we get a good price that way.
The problem is that I don't know of anywhere that has good buffer pads except online places like CMA, Premium Auto Care, and several other top line places. With a very few exceptions, ALL detailing supplies I've been able to find locally (here in the Seattle area) have ben low-priced, consumer-grade stuff. I.e., mostly junk. When it comes to pads and MF towels, I can't find ANYTHING locally. :-( Sorry!
You might want to try to find a local Zaino distributor. I can't find any in the Seattle area, but they exist in other parts of the US. They might carry detailing supplies like pads.
So I guess there's good news and bad news... The good news is that we are part of a very select group of people (**** retentive detailing enthusiasts). The bad news is that "select group" means "SMALL group"! Stores can't afford to carry what we want!
The best that I can suggest is to do what I do - order on-line and then chew your fingernails down to the second knuckle while waiting.
Regards,

I am realizing I am too **** rententive and I went to Lowe had the PC in hand walking around looking for proper pads and looked at the cheap polishing bonnets they had and I was like "Hell no would I ever let this cheap crap touch my car." Put the PC down and left the store (I had had plans for the night and I did not want to have the PC sitting in my garage and not be able to use it.
I am in the middle of searching the local Sacramento stores looking for decent pads.
I am about to come to the same conclusion as you which is I will have to order online and wait for the proper stuff.

Try www.properautocare.com for the pads. The six inch beginner pads are nice, but I like the 7.5 inch pads better.
Best of luck,
