    Should I upgrade to Flex?

    Hi!

    I don't have much experience polishng. I've a GG6 but seeing actual sales on flex, and since I live in Argentina and economics are going to go down.... I don't know if I should upgrade and trade my gg for a DA Flex...

    Do you think it can be handle by an inexperience user?

    Thanks and Regards.

    Go for it, just because you buy it now doesn't mean you have to use it right away. Though i wouldn't think you will have any trouble with it. it's a great machine.

    Get Mike's book on the Flex when you order it. It will help a lot.

    I agree with all the other posts. Also would keep the gg6 and get a 3" BP as well. Can never have enough tools.

    Im not sure just cause its on sale that makes it a good deal for you...

    How many cars a month do you polish? Is the GG6 not powerful enough for what you do already?

    I really really really want a flex also (and have a GG6) but I cannot justify the purchase price being that I only polish about 4 - 5 cars a YEAR.

    Consumerism will only get you broke. Consider the facts in your life first.

    Yea the FLEX is a much better machine, but you may not NEEEEEEED it.

    Never is an awfully long time.

    I bought a flex having no experience using a DA and it took me all of 10 mins to get the hang of it. I am by no means highly skilled, but I can keep it controlled and get great results. As long as it won't cut you short, I say go for it. But if the money would be better spent else where, I don't think the flex is a necessity by any means.

    Re: Should I upgrade to Flex?

    I guess I am missing something when you say "our economics" why would the countries economics effect yours so much? If your economics are going to be so bad in the future Im not sure a purchase such as this is a smart one anyway. Maybe you should save your money for future needs like food and water instead of another polisher when you have a really darn good one in the GG6
