    what should i get

    im looking into getting a PC to use for cleaning carpets via brush attachment. I have a dewalt rotary for paint correction. Should i get a better DA so i could do paint correction with it or would the pc be sufficient enough? Remember im looking into it because i want to be able to clean interior with it. if i get a diff. DA would i be able to get the brush attachments for carpets as well?

    Re: what should i get

    The brush attachments will fit most DA there are a multitude of thigs you can do with the da.....paint correction,cleaning carpets and so on. You having a rotary you have a lot covered....but a DA will come into play with the finish work.The porter cable is a great piece of equipment I own one and I also own the GG. You won't be dissapointed with either!( Guess that is what I'm trying to say LOL)

    APC+ should be diluted 10:1,water:degreaser, for interiors.

    Also, you have a multitude of substitute polishers for a PC. My personal favorite is the Griot's Garage dual action polisher. Its served me very, very well and has a fantastic warranty.

    10-1 is good!

    I just spray water on it and wipe off with a terry cloth.

    The flex has forced rotation, unlike any other DA polished. It cost so much because it is the only DA, that I know of, that has forced rotation. It's the middle ground between most DAs and a rotary.
