I come back after almost 2 months and this thread I started is still at the top of the page?! Lol, I didn't expect to see that. Anyway I did end up buying a Flex 3401. The machine itself is a true...
I'm lucky that my driveway and hose faces south and with the intense Colorado winter sun I can and usually do wash my car outside all winter. This winter has been the exception though. It also...
I just tried ONR for the first time last week. I'm not sure I'll be doing many washes in the driveway anymore! Ok, maybe when it's 85F out. I used it on my wife's black car that was caked in...
Amen to this! Moving into a neighborhood with an HOA is just doing nothing more than letting a lot of busybodies tell you how you should live. It's funny, I live in an older neighborhood without a...
O.C., I just wanted to thank you once again for all of your input on my other thread.:xyxthumbs: You had me pretty sure I was going for the Griot's until I read this review comparing the vibration...
This review has helped me to make my final decision. In the end it's actually going to come down to the Flex having less vibration. I'm used to using a Cyclo which was really nice as the vibrations...
Adrock...err I mean O.C., I've read this post a few times just to be sure what I'm reading is right but from what I can see, you say the GG is at least as good as the Flex? I'll admit it, when I...
Just sold my Cyclo on Ebay. I'm having mixed emotions as it was as perfect of a machine as a machine could be imo. At least in the build quality and reliability department. I just wanted to try...
Boiling towels? Seriously? I'll use a bath towel for a year then it gets used for my car. I obviously need to read up though, as I didn't know they even made a microfiber towel that you could dry...
I don't mind you critiquing my work one bit, and I can definitely see where you're coming from. I am the newest of newbies when it comes to working with the rotary, although I've used a machine...
I'll have to take a look in the sun to see if I have any swirls. I plan on going over it again anyway when I get the new GG. For my car I'll probably not use the rotary on it. The paint is...
I found a used Dewalt 849 off Craigslist a few weeks back for $75. I "learned" how to use it on my wife's old '91 Maxima. It needs a new paint job anyway so wth. Well after the rotary, it no...
I have no problem with Richard, it's been my experience that the items he sells are usually well tested and of great quality, but when I see a video on his site claiming that no one should ever use a...
I've been digesting this post for the last couple of days and I just can't think of a way to disprove you. The Dewalt has worked miracles on the old '91 Maxima, taking the paint back to a point I...
I'm guessing it helps the machine to correct faster. Although I thought that was what the 480 rpm's at it's top speed were for. Maybe they need the wider orbit to prevent swirl marks because of the...
Man, I never thought this would be this hard of a decision! I figured the Flex was the one to get, but now I'm starting to think I should just save the money and go with the GG. Since I have the...
I see. So the Griot's is more comparable to the PC then. This is what I was thinking, but some of the threads and posts I was reading made it seem on par with the Flex. I was under the impression...
There are also threads here with people having problems with the Flex as well. Let's face it, neither machine is as reliable as the Cyclo.;) As for the price of the Flex? I'll most likely be...
Exactly. I didn't ask anyone which machine is worth the money more. I asked which one was better. As I was saying in my first post I want a machine that can do 90% of what the combo of my Cyclo...
I'm the OP and I think you have me confused with someone else. I don't have a GG or a Flex...yet. My question was is the GG as good as the Flex? It seems the answer is no it's not but GG users...
I should also add that I picked up a Dewalt 849 rotary a couple of weeks ago too. My plan was to use this for the heavily oxidized stuff, ie my wife's 1991 black Nissan Maxima. I know a lot of...
