    With a big truck like that you might want to look into the flex. It will cut that detail time down about a third. Get the same polish with the flex, if money is not a issue.

    Also, grab some orange and gray pads.

    BTW you will need more micro fiber towels, wax or sealant, tire dressing, interior dressing, trim dressing and the list goes on.

    I also feel if you can afford the extra cost, go for the Flex, you won't be disappointed. The PC is also a nice machine and will serve you well but just a bit slower then the Flex. Good luck.

    Thank you all for the replies. This site is unreal.

    Ok if I go with the Flex machine is that a 3401 model that I should get?

    I would respond to each of you individually but I don't know how.

    Now off to look for a good flex kit.

    Flex 3401 with a variety of pads, Meguiars 105 and 205 or Menzerna SIP and 106ff, clay, ONR, a good sealant (I like duragloss and FK1 1000p), lots of Microfiber towels, cheap walmart microfiber towels for wheels and interior, tire dressing....
