Hi friends. Haven't posted for a while because I got caught up in a large outdoor summer project that took most of my summer energy in the heat, temporarily foregoing my detailing activities.
Anyway I own a XC 3401 VRG and it is a great machine. But I also need a rotary for three addtional functions I want to expand into:
1. Occasional panel heavy paint correction with more mojo (faster) than my 3401
2. Frequent headlight lens polishing work
3. Frequent windsheild polishing with cerium oxide
So my question is could I do all three functions with only one of the Flex rotary car polishers ? For example could I use a backing plate SMALLER than 6in on a PE 14-2 150 for headlights, or a backing plate LARGER than 3in on a PE8-4 80 for panels and windsheilds ? I think I could do all of these functions with a 4 in backing plate but I don't know if either of those Flex machines could perform all three functions with a 4in backing plate. I can't justify both machines right now so what could you guys recommend ? I'm very fond of Flex build quality and handling so I'd like to stick with the brand though I'm not married to it.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks.
