Great info up above!
I will watch the video when I get a chance. I am new to using the Porter Cable and I only tried to wax the car, not polish, just for practice. I had it at speed setting 3 as I was told it shouldn't go higher for waxing....

Oh, then you're absolutely fine! Waxing with the PC is a totally different animal than polishing. You don't have to worry about pressure, rotation, and all that... you're not breaking the product down or attempting to impart change on the clear coat, you're simply spreading a thin coat of product over the surface.
in this video I'm demoing the Flex 3401 which has forced rotation to it, but it should give you an idea of the time/pressure/etc you'll use to apply wax or sealant to the finish by machine... its not much.

Dylan,
So your saying, that with the Porter Cable not spinning much really at all isnt a problem for waxing? I figured it was still getting the job done as it was spreading the wax and thats really all that matters. Just want to be sure and also that the machine was working properly.. Thanks again for your help and peace of mind...

Yes... the spinning part of the movement and the close attention to how much pressure is all a part of POLISHING. For waxing all you're doing is spreading the product on the surface so there is no need to worry about the rotation.
