    That's why I added a nice strip of foam around the entire metal shroud.

    Also who uses a DA quickly sweeping it side to side without looking at what they are doing with reckless abandon? It's a slow process not a speed thing.

    I sold my Flex after using a Rupes. It's almost like people have difference preferences.
    Maybe on a detailing forum, otherwise probably not even close. The # 1 dead horse has to be " what is the best oil ? ".

    you can also buy some foam window weather adhesive to put around the shroud as well...

    For All You Rupes Lovers vs Flex

    Hahaha.... I always love this topic. I could and have read all the posts on it over the years for hours. There is no right answer.

    I don't own either. I guess mainly because if I am going to do "heavy correction". I would reach for a true rotary. I don't think they are as scary as most people tend to believe. For finishing both the gg6 and PC work fine for me. I may one day look into the BOSS or 3401.
