    Help choosing some new equipment!!

    If going into business for real a flex…. If not a 15mm DA. Flex cordless would be my choice with money not being relevant.

    I would also pick up a Flex PXE for 3” duties as I see you don’t have a 3” and I think all would agree a 3”should be in your arsenal.

    I personally would add the Ibrid Nano too if doing this for money.

    Blow drying whole cars is only beneficial if car is ceramic coated. Waxed or sealed cars just don’t clean fast enough to not just use a good twisted loop MF on.

    For coated cars and being mobile the Ego 765 is a beast. Invest in a stubby nozzle.

    The Flex PXE should be able to handle whatever the Rupes Nano can do - as far as polishing anyways. Actually, for me it would have been more useful because the PXE can handle both 3" and 1" Pads, where the Nano does 2" and 1". I never use the 2". This would have allowed me to eliminate the dedicated Mini 3" polisher.

    The Nano can get into a lot tighter spaces. If I were doing this professionally I would have both. A PXE is not a replacement for a Nano in my opinion.

    And from experience owning both tools is the way to go. I use the ibrid as a dedicated 1 inch and the PXE as a 3 inch. The PXE as a 1 inch for me was not that great.
