    Picking a dual action polisher

    So I just order a Flex 3401 and I need a smaller polisher to add to the arsenal for smaller spots on my car. I'd like something high end that can use a range of pads (hopefully down to 3 inch). If I need a medium sized polisher and a really tiny one I guess I'll do that but what are your thoughts for what I'm looking for? Price doesn't matter since I dropped a good amount on the Flex. I'd rather continue with top quality machines.

    Rupes makes the best small machines (either pneumatic or electric). Personally, I just use my old GG6 with a 3" backing plate.

    I'm looking at the Flex PE8 looks good to go with my Flex 3401.

    Is there anything else I should get now that I have the Flex PE8 and the Flex 3401?

    I dont think so,

    you already have great set up.

    I been using PC 6" and GG3"
    and trying to ditch gg3" and upgrade to PE-8, since its rotary its some what easier in tighter spot also it has option for even smaller pads

    My two Flex machines aren't even here yet. The Flex 3401 is still on its way by UPS and the Flex PE8 hasn't even left the autogeeks warehouse yet lol. I can't wait to get them and start learning
