My GG6 does what I want out of a buffing/polishing machine, gets the job done, every time.
Using the right pads and products makes all the difference.

With that budget and further info i will add my opinion on it. I also like the idea of a "starter machine" but one that accomodates both 3" and 5-6" capabilities. Again folks, that's just my opinion but with versatility in mind and $180, a lifetime warranty and a stronger "feel" would weigh pretty heavy in my decision. As i progressed and those 20-30 cars turned into maybe 50-75 cars i would relegate that starter machine to maybe 3" duty only and have a Flex for the overall work.

And i can appreciate allen's comments above. With so much the market has to offer these days i would certainly want to consider all options given Christo's situation. Having said that, i tend to lean towards VISITOR's thinking on a good, reliable yet versatile ROB. Again, if he advances to want more machine in the future he will still have a good backup unit.

I agree, the 3401 and Rupes 21 cannot do it all, because of the lack of a 2 7/8" BP

If I was starting out again, I would buy the HF and then use the money from the 1st several details to buy a FLEX and relegate the HF to 3-4" pads and the Cyclo scrub brushes (if you don't have the yet....you are missing out)
