    One polisher to rule them all

    So I have a groits garage and a porter cable DA polisher. Question is should I keep one if them or sell them both and get a new one of a different brand??

    keep the GG6 and sell the porter cable. if you want to upgrade to a new DA the flex 3401 (forced rotation) or the G15/21 (long throw) would be great choices...

    I absolutely love the 3401. It's a workhorse that has never let me down.

    Do you do this for income or as a hobby. If its as a hobby, I would sell the pc and order the 3401 or the rupes Mk2, if you do this for money I would keep the PC and put a carpet attachment on it and buy a 3401 and or a rupes mk2

    Rupes or Flex but from using both extensively I'd give the nod to Rupes, my MKII is on its way,can't wait!

    Keep both and make the PC a dedicated 3"

    My only beef is when it stops spinning on awkward panels.

    I did a Ferrari not long ago, particularly the rear fender with a very awkward angle where I was getting orbit only without rotation on my 15 ES. Lo and Behold with orbital action only it corrected swirls amazingly well! I can only imagine howmuch more efficient my soon to arrive MKII would have behaved on the same panel. I have yet to see where the Rupes fell short on a curve or concave and where the Flex outcut it. We too obsessed on rotation only forgetting the massive throw is cutting as well.

    So I already have a dedicated 3 inch DA as well so I don't need 3 of these, I also do this for business so figured I can sell them off and get one BA one

    You're really not going to get much for a used pc......

    As suggested 3" but since you already have one, get a carpet brush to put on it.
