Don't YOU know that other than the included pad, there is NO difference between the two? Check the Porter Cable website if you are unsure.

I would take Menzerna PO85RD over Optimum any day, especially on a dark colored car.

Actually the counterweight is different. Optimum works for me, and I got it in two days from Hawaii.

You're using Menzerna polish with Natty's wax? Haha. Okay. You know all about detailing now.

Yes, the counterweight is different. Yours is a 5 inch counterweight and mine is a 6. If you're not going to use a 5 inch polishing pad (not many do), then you need the 6 inch counterweight anyway, and hence you should've bought a 7336.

You're laughing about Natty's over Menzerna? So, you've never heard of people putting Pinnacle Souveran/Natty's/Megs carnuba etc over Klasse SG, Menzerna PO85RD, or any other finishing polish or sealant?? If you don't then you got some learning to do. Go investigate my young padawan, you may learn something. Try Autopia, Detailcity and Autogeek, and see how many misinformed people like me do it. Haha....you got a lot to learn....go away.

Here, I'll start you off with one thread of the MANY that recommend/do the same thing I do:

In fact, the thread maker is using SOUVERAN too, just like you. Hmm, go figure??

Looks really nice good job San~man!
I waxed my 96 GT two weeks ago with Meguiar's
Gold Class liquid car wax and my car looks sharp.

Suprisingly on the net, you can find ANYTHING. There was a garage freak website. This guy built an AMAZING garage, complete with 2 lifts, quartz lighting, the best cabinetry, full tool set. Just plain AMAZING.

When you get down to it, they're just fanatics. No different from ourselves really, just a different line of interest.

That being said, you can find a WEALTH of knowledge and techniques on how to clean your car there.

Both in SUNLIGHT and not in the garage
