Question on Porter Cable
I am a fanatic about my cars and maintaining a perfect finish as I frequently enter my British cars in shows. So I will share my experiences.
I bought my an air powered Porter Cable polisher from Griots Garage and swear by it, (but you could probably find it cheaper elsewhere). I buy all my car care products from them including rags and towels. I won't use anything else as their products have never let me down.
The thing about most 100% terry cloth towels is that the towel itself may be 100% cotton, but the hems are usually sewn with polyester thread which is brutal on car finishes. Griots uses 100% cotton thread on the hems. I'm sure there are other vendors out there that are as good as Griots, I just haven't found them yet.
If you use high quality washes and good clean rags to wash your car, and truly 100% cotton towels to dry, you shouldn't have the swirl marks to deal with., so using the polisher too often won't be an issue.
Just my 2 cents worth.
