    My next polisher question

    I've become proficient with my p.c. What should my next step be? Thanks in advance.

    Agree w/ this, Flex halves the time of polishing vs a PC (my first machine), at least. PC is underpowered, but a wonderful machine with 3" pads.

    Being that you are now PC-proficient;
    and, since the Boss and Rupes are
    also orbital polishers;

    then, IMO:

    A Rotary (circular) polisher should be
    ideal for your "next step": Especially
    ideal in the sense of becoming more
    proficient in time-management of
    future detailing/correction jobs.

    Oh yeah, almost forgot:
    Way less vibration from a Rotary:
    Your Body Will Thank You.


    Note:
    Even when you do become proficient
    with a Rotary...don't toss the PC!

    That is what you'll use to:
    "change the action of the tool for
    the last machine polishing step".

    the G15/21 (they also have side port to change brushes which is a nice little touch) can do everything the rupes can. the BOSS G15/21 enables you to use both 5" and 6" backing plates (comes with washer mod if you desire to use it). also, the GG DA's ALL come with a Lifetime Warranty and no nonsense responsive customer service as well. buy it once and have no worries, GG will take care of you and have your back. with the BOSS creams and pads you have flexibility across the board as they don't limit you to only using this or that pad with any particular cream. i have trust in them (can't say that for everyone) and they will do whatever it takes to make you happy and a customer for the long term. there are some companies out there are quick to take your money but do little to nothing (and procrastinate) to respond if you ever have a problem. expect big/exciting things from them in the future!

    Re: My next polisher question

    Like you I outgrew the PC and standard buffers. I have since moved to a Flex 3401 and regret not doing so sooner. 1/3 to 1/2 the time involved now and it doesn't stop for anything. Constant rotation with no PIA slowing down or stalling on any surface. Takes a little more muscle to use but honestly not much.

    Was it pretty easy to get the hang of once you got your hands on it? I guess that would be my biggest concern.
