Re: Own Flex should I get PC too?

I find the PC invaluable in certain situations where my Cyclo is impractical. Do you need to buy one? That I cannot say but it does help me due to the lighter weight and smaller backing plates & pads available for use in certain areas.

What adapter do you need for the Flex to use the carpet brushes?

Re: Own Flex should I get PC too?

I own two PCs, a Flex and a rotary and right now I use the Flex more often then the PCs or the Hitachi rotary. I like using the PC for the areas that are a bit harder to reach with 6in. pads that are on the Flex and the rotary I use mostly for cars that have need for more intence paint correction. I know, why 2 PCs?. I had bought one years ago and the other was given to me as a gift, but on the plus side one has a 5 oz. wgt and the other a 6 oz.

You can use the standard flex plate and locate the velcro brush attachment

Re: Own Flex should I get PC too?

you can use the PC for applying glazes, lsp's, cleaning carpets, having a back-up machine, teaching someone how to use it, etc..

Re: Own Flex should I get PC too?

Thanks for all the replies. You guys just confirmed what I already expected....once you have a Flex nothing else can compare. LOL! Seriously, I already had doubts about using any kind of electronic device to apply waxes/sealants. I'll just spend my $130 on more product. :^)

Hmmmm. What should I buy.....
