Groit is the closed thing to the Flex DA. It much more Powerful then the PC

tims04gto,

I was in the same boat a week ago. I got the PC XP to save some money but wish I would have went with the flex after doing my car. I'm relative new but have done a lot of research and called product manufacturers to make sure I'm using the right techniques as well as watching the how too's etc.

I was going to send my PC back for the Flex 3401 one and just bite the bullet. However, I decided to keep it for putting on wax and orderd the Flex Lightweight Rotary as I have about the same amout of money in it and the PC as I would just the 3401.

It's interesting about the Griots, I may try to exchange mine for it. One complaint I have about the PC it is vibrates a tremendous amout and seems to be tough on pads. Well at least I went through a pad on my car and asked AG about it and what I was told.

Keep in mind I'm just starting out as well so take it with a grain of salt.

Get the rotary and we will get you going.

^Definately. I was going to follow the Flex 3401 route but am now strongly considering a rotary. Its not too much harder and as long as you aren't overly aggressive or careless, is not as unsafe as it is made out to be sometimes.

If you go for the Griots get the HD one. Which has the 25ft power cable that way you will not need an extension cord

The PC will stall a lot more easily than the Griot's. The Flex is the ultimate but a lot more expensive. If you just detail your own cars and not doing it for a business I would go with the Griot's. The Flex IS incredible though. You will NOT stall it with the forced rotation.
