No, not common knowledge

It's made by Makita, very very high quality as you would expect, and costs less than the PC. Works better in my opinion too, and its handle makes it easier to hold on to. Other than that a nice read! Ultimately, claying and polishing prior to waxing is a must. And of course the polisher should only be used to lay down polish and wax. Removal of polish and wax is best by hand and using special cloths to not scratch the surface.
My 135 will be the first new car I've ever had, so taking good care of the paint has never been an issue for me before. I'd only recently heard of clay bars, for example.
