    First major equipment purchase

    Hi guy. I'm wanting to purchase my first piece of professional equipment. And I can't decide why I should buy first due to the fact that no matter what I purchase it's going to help with either spending less time of getting better results. Any suggestions would help. Thanks in adcance.

    Visitor. I already have a pc and a rigid vac I use. Now it's between carpet extractor, steam cleaner, or something like a rupes or flex. People in my area generally don't want paint correction.

    since you already have a PC, you can dedicate that to smaller pads. the G21/15 would be a great addition to the PC if you are looking for another polisher to compliment it. as far as a steam cleaner (there are a few different models) goes check out this thread below, quite a few have had good results with it and it's not overly expensive...

    Well, in this case I'd recommend a tornador and a compressor. Get the velocity-vac adapter too. You can use the compressor for other applications as well. Also carpet extractor would be good for rinsing. Despite you don't get polishing jobs frequently, if you are still into polishers, go with Flex PE 14-2. Since you don't need surgical cutting of delicate/thin paints, it will work for you from 1 to 7" pads as you want. You still have PC, getting another DA is not really a smart move for you. Also to mention that, if you don't get a rotary on this investment, get a rotary later. I think every detailer must have at least one rotary polisher.
