    Add porter cable polisher or stick with rotary?

    i think the PC will be disapointing compared to the rotary. if you have room in your budget the GG6 on Rupes Duetto will work better for you.

    thinks about making the switch from Rupes to Flex

    i've been using my Rpues 15 for about a year now and i really enjoy it. my only issue is most of my work is heavy paint correction (average 20-30 hours on the paint alone) and i feel like the Rupes is falling short in its correction speed. i have a hand full of compounds and pads trying to find...

    One step process

    ^^ I agreed, replacing the cleaner/wax with a medium polish (I use Menz 2500 or Rupes UHS). When applied with a DA will give you better correction over a cleaner.

    New to coatings: Cquartz uk applied in high temps with bad results
