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.

Your first step besides washing is claying.

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

:iagree: 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. :cheers:
