    True. I don't have problems with the PC not rotating. The reason I am not a huge fan of it. Is because it takes to long.

    Opposed to the Rupes or Flex that correct much faster.

    Re: Flex 3401 or Rupes 21?

    Rupes it is! Most cars I do aren't too bad and if I can get 90% of the swirls out already with a PC I'm sure the rupes won't have a problem, thanks everyone!

    For me it would be more like curling a 12ozr, I'll leave the yoga to the professionals.

    Re: Flex 3401 or Rupes 21?

    I asked myself that same question for several days. Looked at the advantages and inconveniances on both machines then finally decided on the Rupes. The major point for me was that a lot of people were saying the Flex becomes sizzling hot while working and some people said they have burned themselves on it. If I had a machine like that I would hate it with a passion So Flex time
