Porter Cable users: did you purchase the PC to remove swirls/scratches, or just to get a really
brilliant shine? Do you use it every time you wax? How often do you wax (whether or not you use the PC every time)? I'm pretty happy with the look I get after waxing with Zaino by hand, is there that big of a difference when you use an electric polisher? FYI - I wax my TT every three months.

Although it's fun; I don't see it as a must have. Probably won't use it every time...
That said, the guys into power tools are loving it way more than me....great tool, will use it for other things as well. My favorite use for it was applying the hand glaze...there I could see a difference. But on my list of things for the TT, it would fall into the "toys" category, meaning not one of those items you have to have like TT valve stem caps....:-)

I use it every time. Have only used it on our cars (and boat) once each
But I plan on using it every time. Just 'cuz it is faster and easier.
It does a remarkable job of removing swirl marks and light scratches (or at least significanly reducing them). I tried to do some before and after pics, but they didn't come out well enough.
I have only used pure wax on the TT. No scratches (yet). But used it for polish then wax on a 92 Honda and a 94 Chevy p/u with remarkable results. It makes the paint look wet (both are dark colors). Much better results than I have ever achieved by hand.
The results of machine vs hand are like comparing shooting a bullet and throwing one.
I don't see why I would not use it by hand every time. Unless I have a small area that needs a touchup or something like that
