Don't know for sure because it's not even available yet. Judging by other Porter cable products it should be very simple to operate.

I think RJ might be just talkin about buffers in general as far as how hard it is to work.

I just purchased a bunch of Poorboy products and I'm looking to get a Porter Cable, but can't decide on what size pads to use. I read somewhere that you better results using smaller pads like 4 or 5.5", but I see alot of starter packages that come with 6.5" pads. Would I be fine with the starter package that come with the 6.5" pads or should I just customize the package and get the PC and smaller pads separately?

You will get better results with the smaller pads & backing plate. 5.5" will be better than the larger pads overall.

Yes sir. I got the PC with the 5.5" foam pad kit from Detail City. The 5.5" pads were just right just like you recommended...not too big and not too small. I got a chance to use it over the weekend, but since the color of my car is light, it was kinda difficult to tell if all the swirls I had were removed. I did notice the glossy shine left behind when everything was all said and done. I still need to practice with it a lil more, but I'm glad I got it thanks to you.

I wish I had a beater car that I'd be able to practice on. I've seen way too many bad buff jobs and dont want to be responsible for one. Steve was this the first time you've ever used one?

Ya it was my first time Derrick. I'm use to applying everything by hand, but noticed getting better results using the buffer. I don't think you can do any type of damage like that with this buffer. With the rotary, that's a different story. You should see my pops van. You can see hologram trails from 15 feet away lol.

If you're talking about using a PC your fears are unfounded, it's idiot proof and I'm living proof of that! There are scads of videos online to help. Many people work it too fast when they first start and are disappointed in the results. Take on a small area at a time, go slow, and you'll be amazed how easy it is.
