Hey all shamelessly stolen from another forum but thought it might interest some of you guys who like to keep their paintwork in top condition.

The time is getting closer for a 240v plug in the wall version of the PC. I thought I'd start this thread so if you have any questions or simply want more information about the machine...
This will be an advanced copy of the PC, but more importantly CE market and 240v, so no more plugging into a transformer or chopping off plugs. This will work straight out of the box and as such represent much better value compared to having to buy a transformer and other bits to get it working.
The RRP for the basic machine is expected to be around £99.95 with full kits around £130-140.
Personally I can't wait for this and hopefully should really open up the enthusiast machine detailing market in the UK.
Now for the marketing blurb...
Background
The Porter Cable 7424 Orbital Polisher/Sander has been the defacto-standard polishing machine for the better part of 10 years. It's a nice machine, but it has some significant limitations:
1. The motor is not strong enough
2. The machine vibrates too much
3. The machine has several weaknesses (switch, armature brushes, cord)
4. No UK warranty
5. The machine does not come with a flexible backing plate
About six months The Perfect Shine LLC went on a mission to duplicate the functionality and form factor of the Porter Cable 7424 while removing all of the limitations I listed above.
Ultimate Detailing Macine(TM)
The new machine will be called the Ultimate Detailing Machine
1. 5.5 AMP motor (20% more power than the Porter Cable 7424)
2. Very high quality concentric offset, full floating head that is perfectly balanced
3. Variable speed from 2,000 to 6,000 OPM
4. Side handle
5. Heavy duty power cord, switch and speed control
6. Rubberized coating
7. Two color canvas bag
8. Full color 24 page manual
9. Wrench
10. Full UK 1 year replacement warranty w/ 5 year upgrade option
Capabilities
To say that this is simply a "clone" of the Porter Cable would not give credit to the many improvements and the significantly improved capabilities. In short, this machine offers 90% of the polishing capabilities of a good rotary without the potential hazards. The combination of the more powerful motor and the vastly improved head unit allow this machine to work polishes harder than any other electric orbital on the market, yet the machine is smooth enough to operate with one hand at full speed.
Accessories
The Ultimate Detailing Machine brand will offer a full range of backing plates, polishing pads, bonnets, brushes and other devices to clean, polish and wax vehicles. We will innovate new products that offer more utility from the Ultimate Detailing Machine.
