Debating on a Flex

**Meghan** · 10-13-2008, 12:03 PM

I like the lightweight Flex, very easy to work with.

I'm just more hesitant after seeing some UDM's fail then the UDM being discontinued (<-don't even get me started on that one). I know it's apple to oranges I'm just going to sit and wait a bit. Don't mean to highjack...

I love my Flex DA polisher!!! Maybe will learn rotary one day, just not ready for it yet. Remember, with Flex polisher you will be polishing the car, unlike with PC/UDM, you polish your hands more (and you can feel it) then you polish the paint...

I've got to agree with Supercharged. The Flex 3401 is a great machine and I'm happy I chose it.

It really is a great machine

Only flex you'll need is the xc3401. If your going to get a rotary, i would get a Makita 9227C Polisher is the best bag for the buck!

Questions from ZoranC
Welcome to the club! What are your experiences / opinions / thoughts on it so far?

Used it on my car, can't believe how easy it is to learn - very user friendly. I am selling my makita to a fellow detailer in my area - in case you're wondering if I like it...
