Help me choose

Going to buy a DA right now cant decide. I really want the FLEX but I am only purchasing a DA for a wax job I am going to be doing next week. (getting tired doing wax by hand).
If anything I will be buying the FLEX soon. Using whatever DA I buy today for just waxing and a backup and the flex for correction.
Unless yall can convince me just to buy the flex now lol As of right now I am not doing correction work for clients. So keep this in mind.
From a biz point of view what would be practical way to go: PC kit, Griots Kit or maybe Flex kit? (With only waxing in mind!)

Keeping in mind I love my GG6 the PC/XP is a bit smaller. You can use it now for wax and in the future you can use it for wax and correction with small pads like 3 and 4" for tight areas, the flex can be big for some tight spots. So my vote is PC/XP

PC takes the lead with one vote! lol but good point about PC being smaller for those tight spots

Griots has lifetime warranty.
May I suggest use with 5.5 pads.

Porter Cable 7424XP without a doubt. Lays down sealants and waxes so easily. Even though I prefer waxing with a paste wax by hand.

I have been seeing threads about problems with the Griot's and Meg's DA's. But none to little with the PCXP. Either of those machines will work fine. But my PC has been working for 2 years strong and doesn't show a sign of being tired.

PC gets my vote!

Oh and here is a nice polisher and pad kit!

If you’re in the market for a dual action polisher, look no further than the Porter Cable 7424!

This seems like a no brainer to me. Go with the Flex. It's awesome. You will have the best of both worlds then. It can easily lay down wax and it can correct paint almost as good as a rotary.

Why waste the money on a PC when you know you'll be buying a Flex in the near future anyways? Waste your money on some overly priced waxed and charge more!

If you have the money go flex. If you don't have the money for the flex but have the money for the griots go with the griots. I have a pc and gg and the pc sits in the bag
