FLEX 3401 or RUPES? - A question I get asked a lot! -Mike Phillips

How about an update on this, Mike, now that Rupes has the Mille?

I'm working on an outline for a video on this topic, hang tight.

Surely it's a little more like Royal Galas & Pink Ladies now?

I'm guessing those are flowers? I don't recognize the names? I could Google but nah....

Well I have about 90 polishers total. I purchased those flex polishers to see how they were and after that the whole company can go in the trash. I've never had that issue with rupes. For $400 the polisher shouldn't break like a $39 harbor freight polisher.

90? Damn, man! What other brands (besides Rupes) are they?

Very interesting. I've been using FLEX since I came to Autogeek, so 10 years and have never had a single problem. In fact, for most of my detailing work I use the BEAST and now the CBEAST just to go as fast as I can while keeping my quality high.

I take all the popular tools to all my classes and let everyone use them and make up their own mind. They are the predominant tool used in my boat detailing class and detailing boat is really hard on tools.


Like I say, your experience is definitely interesting and I would also say the exception from my experience answering questions on this forum, on FB and teaching classes for years now.


I'll share this thread and your comments with FLEX. I'm sure they would like to know of your experience.



:cheers:

I think I have a pic I posted on Instagram. Hold please. Lol

First use and the screws came apart as you can see. The second one I had to sent to me I had to send to a repair place that said the power cord wasn't connected properly and was refurbished. I found it funny because it was sold as new. They like you more than me Mike lol
