Looks like im gonna have to invest in the Porter Cable, otherwise that would make for a long long day, Ive done it by hand before minus the polishing and it took way too much effort

PC's make it quick(er) and Easy(er)... I think you should get one and some LC pads (Alternately, you could get the G-100 and a set of pads from Rick at ADS).

I am in the same place as the first post but I have a black 07 crew. I have read a lot of good stuff about Collinite Liquid Insulator wax #845. Would that work better on the black for that wet look and durability or is the wet look from the polish and not the wax? The wax is for overall protection?
I found a PC 7424 for 95$ + 10$ shipping.

CIW is GREAT on durablility, and offers some of the wetness associated with a carnauba. However, it is not going to have the wetness/depth that you see with the Natty's line or #26. Most of the depth and wetness are going to come from the polishing stage. The wax will give the protection and increase shine, yes.
Note: the wax is a sacrificial coating. Rather than letting your clearcoat be the sacrificial barrier, we wax to keep the clearcoat alive. BUT-- it does help to enhance the gloss and depth of the shine.
That help?
As for the PC, I would say that's a good deal. dont forget, though, that you still have to get pads for it.

It just takes ALL DAY, and you end up with VERY sore arms...

seems like a good price on the PC .. but before you buy .. do a total cost check .. what will it cost you to get everythign you need .. PC, backing plate, counterweight (if not included) then compare to the packages Rick has at ADS . I think you might find them close enough to warrant spending the extra $10 or so to get the warranty that comes with the G100.
