    Great write up Mike

    I've done the same, as you both sides looked amazing , I just prefer using my DeWalt 849x, I get great results faster and easier on my arms.
    Step two I use my DA to get that perfect, flawless finish.

    You can't go wrong with either machine.

    Mike, in your opinion, which gave you the smoother or easier buffing experience or were they about the same?

    Excellent review! Now the most important question is; which did you enjoy using more?

    Thanks Kevin!

    Rotary use for correction and DA for polishing is a sure fire one two punch.

    Well there is zero vibration with the PE when the pad runs true...

    Thank you sir!

    I enjoy using either machine equally but the PE14 is pretty sweet!

    Cool Re: A FLEX comparision: PE14 vs 3401

    Really great to see these side by side results where the only variable is the machine, Smack. I am surprised to see how very similar the results are regardless of which machine you used. Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate this to us. Seeing is believing!

    Re: A FLEX comparision: PE14 vs 3401

    smack 1st off....beautiful work!!! What a night and day difference for either machine. 2nd excellent review too! I have a Flex 3401 VRG IMO it is the BEST DA...PERIOD. As for the rotary I have never used and based on your review I probably will never need one because of the Flex 3401 being as close to a rotary.

    Additionally, I am a KLUTZ so I would burn the paint off with a rotary...LOL.

    Bottom line excellent review and beautiful work!

    BUT, why such a great wax on a van????....LOL Your customer does not realize what a great wax he/she is getting!!!
