Well tommorow is the big day. I am going on a huge shopping spree hopefully. The big question is, do I order the PC tommorw aswell? I know time and time again everybody says its the best but there is one thing worrying me. You will probably think Im a wimp but it does scare me abit. Its the vibrations:o I have been reading around and I have seen quite a few people mention the huge vibrations and hands feeling really tingly. Thing is this kind of stuff will mess me up. does anybody or did anyone else feel this with the PC? I also read this, http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=10915&perpage=10&pagenumber=1
Is this a better alternative? Shall I go staright to a rotary or am I trying to run before I can walk. I have never used a machine before by the way. I not too fussed about anything really apart from the vibrations. I.e if there is another product that costs a little more and wors just as well but feels more refined it may be better suited to me? :newbie:

Thanks
Speedy

Im a little unsure of your problem with fingers ,but i have simalar problems and have the cyclo as well as pc .
My fingers can crmp up ,tingle etc but i think you will find the pc fairly smooth you will learn after practice how tight to hold on .
Unless your condition is chronic dont worry the pc is well respected and if it does not work out im sure you could sell it on.

All the best .

Nip down to your local builders merchant and they should be able to sell you some gloves to reduce the risk of 'vibration white finger'. You may find that will help.

Be careful. We had a study done in work, along with Salford Uni, and some of those Foam padded gloves actually INCREASE the vibrations :doublesho

The vibrations and juddering seem to come with pressure, so IMO something like the PC is actually better than a smaller machine like the Cosmo.

Since it is a lot heavier you don't have to put much presuure on it, and because its two handed you can relax and stretch one whilst holding with the other, if needs be.
