For All You Rupes Lovers vs Flex

[don40vette]

Many of you will admit that the Rupes stalls but there are just as many that say it outperforms the Flex 3401 and even others that say it does better than a rotary.
Lets put the Rupes vs Flex in a car on a drag strip. The Rupes stalling has no chance. I see it the same in polishing.
Cry away Rupes lovers.
This will be great.

Oh man! This is gonna get interesting! All I can say there is a loyal following for both DA's. I am a Flex guy as well a a PC7424XP guy....BUT I am pleading the 5th!! LOL

Here is what my PC 7424 did with 1500 grit.. Meguiar's M100, green hex pads....

???

I'm not sure I understand the argument. The pad on my 3401 would never get going fast enough to do this level of correction, without standing on it.

I did the entire car in about seven hours..

That's probably the proper way for a professional approach things.

The 3401, and PE14 will indeed be making their way back to the arsenal.

I'm so tired of threads like this, put a fork in it, it's done, no, it's over done.

I like reading Zubairs posts. Does anyone know where he is.....oh wait....that's right

Of all the dead horses, this could possibly be one of the most beaten.

I sold my Flex after using a Rupes. It's almost like people have difference preferences.
