This would be a very good choice. The lifetime warranty makes it an even better choice.

the flex is overkill if you're only going to wax your cars. the GG6 is a great DA that packs plenty of torque/power and excellent warranty (top notch customer service too) and very versatile. it is capable of doing correction and other tasks as well. you cannot go wrong owning one!

Do I need to worry about a polisher making swirls with just waxing? Is the Flex a "no way" and the GG6 "well if I use it correctly, no"?
So basically, if a Flex is safer, I don't mind spending the extra $$.

You could get that, and still do paint correction. Heck, people correct their paint with Porter Cables too. It depends on your pad / polish set up.

The GG6 would definitely be safer than the Flex.

In theory, because the Flex is a forced rotation machine, it could be more dangerous. But that would only be the case if you were doing paint correction, or using a cleaner-wax. With a finishing wax that has no abrasives, you would have to do something pretty stupid to do damage.

That said, the Flex is intended to be a professional tool, not a wax spreader. On the other hand, I dare say many people who buy a high performance car never use it as intended either. So if buying and using "the Mercedes Benz of the polisher world" to apply wax is what will make you happy, go for it.
