    I wish I would of purchased a flex instead of my PC, or a griots if you're not willing to spend that much.

    My 11 month old PC has recently crapped out. :/

    Man I hope that doesn't happen to mine. What are you planning to do with it? Fix/Sell?


    Oh and do they sell a shampoo concentrate? That'd be nice 😎

    Re: Knowing What You Know Now...

    I did all my research first and foremost. My only regret is not finding Gary Deans earlier. 1 gallon makes 50 gallons of product. That's insane money saving. You are getting one product to use as an onr, clay lube, interior detailer, and a QD. That's 4 bottles of product that I could have not purchased. Just in clay lube and QD alone would have paid for enough Gary Dean's to make 6.4 gallons of product.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I was initially considering this, and still can't find info on the towels used on his site. His method requires quite a few towels and I wondered if either of these would be good choices, even if used with something like ONR or UWW+:

    Welcome aboard!

    I wish I had bought the 6" GG ASAP and not been so scared of using a wheel, it makes life a lot easier and the way the machine works, along with the free dvd, makes using it a breeze!

    I've used these with onr before and although it works I have swirls on my soft paint. Not sure if it's from waterless washing or going to pdq all winter long. But they are very nice towels for the money.

    Fix for now Then either put on the shelf or sell. There is a PC service center 15 minutes from my house in the Houston suburbs.

    A flex or rupes is on my list, I just can't decide on which. If I buy a cheaper DA in the mean time then I'm definitely getting the griots.

    To Chase: Yeah if I would have known, I would have gotten the Griots, especially because of the life time warranty.

    I am going with the Rupes because it works smooth as butter.

    Junkman says the Flex works better with smooth pads. I don't know because when I used the Flex, it had hex pads. Maybe that's why I felt the pull. (Don't know the name)

    In the end any machine can do the job with the right skill/technique

    I see a lot of people mentioning MFTech in threads the past few weeks and I wonder if there's any towels in specific they can compare to AG brands? Is their yellow equivalent to the cobra? The weights look a lot different in most cases.
