Hey guys,

For many jobs I do, the 3401 is more then adequate to handle the job. From applying stage 1 polish, to spreading all-in-one polishes, I have found the 3401 to be durable,quick and easy to use.

I only ever break out the rotary on SEVERELY gone paint, and I always caution the owner that miracles don't always happen either.

I love my Flex ... it immediately replaced my original PC. I bought a Hitachi rotary but found it only needed on severe finishes. Since most cars being cared for in reasonable fashion, I dont find more than the Flex is needed.

I really wish I had played with the Cyclo more between PC to Flex however. It really gets missed in a crowd of fine tools.

Flex 3401 is an awesome polisher. I know more about it now than when I had it.

The 3401 is the first tool I pick up about 80% of the time. The rest of the time it's either because I know I will need a rotary, or because I'm just applying a coat of wax. My G100 pretty much only gets used for that now.... never any polishing duty these days.

I had the first gen pc, for many years. And never had an issue with it. Then two years ago bought the flex 3401. And have used it ever since, it kind of put my pc on the back shelf so to speak. Then right before DTF I bought the new griots. So now it is my go to polisher.

The 3401 is our first choice for correction, then we use the flex or the new groits for finish work

I use the flex as my main polisher. The PC still gets used with the 4" pads on bumpers and pilars. The PC is still great for paint cleaners(lime prime and PPE), since it is easy to handle with one hand.

Love it! It's all I use currently. 3401 is a piece of beauty!
Well I use the 3" GG for small areas but I'm considering a PC to be able to correct those pillars and things like that faster.
