Anyone Used Flex DA Polisher?

Hello, I'm new and seek to tap the wisdom of this forum. I've been detailing my car continuously since I bought my 07 Black GT, and I decided to move up to a high quality buffer. Initially I was going to buy the PC 7424 but started reading about the Flex XC3401 (http://www.autogeek.net/flex-orbital-polisher.html).

Has anyone used this tool? Has anyone used any other tools by the company? How is there warranty service? Any recommendations on polishes? I have a couple minor scratches and very light swirl marks. (one evil chip on the passenger door handle ) I'm going to apply Zaino over the prepped paint. Thanks!

Autogeek is top notch in everything. The Flex obviously has more options/features to it, though I find my 7424 still does a great job on many cars I've worked on.

So many variables there. Really depends on the car and it's paint condition. Personally I use Poor Boy's products for mine. PB EX-P and Natty's Paste Wax Blue.

i just orderd a flex and should be getting it on the 2nd. ive head nothing but good things from everyone who has used it. the flex combines ease of use of a PC with almost the cutting of a rotary. if you do buy it, get it from Autodetailingsolutions.com. they have a package for 300 that gets you the flex, 6 pads of your choice and 3 good MF towels. and if you dont want the pads you can but it for 279 and still get 1 MF and one pad for free i think. check it out.
