I got a PC 7424xp about a year and a half ago to maintain my own vehicles. Family and friends have taken notice to the shine and clarity of my two vehicles and i have been employed to correct some of their vehicles. Problem i am facing is my DA doesn't seem to be agressive enough for these neglected vehicles. it seems that i have to spend excessive time on these cars and trucks and that makes the process much less lucrative.

I am looking into stepping up to a Flex. i am having trouble deciding between the pe14-2 or getting their orbital. i am confident that i can become proficient with a rotary, just looking for the most machine for my limited funds. any help is appreciated.
 
I would step up to the rotary since you already have a 7424XP. The Flex PE14 is a great machine for sure, but I would also look at the DeWalt DWP849X and the Flex L3403 Light Weight Rotary. Both are less money than the PE14 and the DeWalt is just a bit heavier.
 
Even if you step up I would suggest that you only practice with that rotary before you attack a customer vehicle. If you think dye is a B****, wait til you see what a rotary will do!
 
I'm all for practicing. any recommendations?
 
Read all the treads that you can about rotaries. Mikes book will help too.There are mistakes to be made And I've had my share. When you buy a product,you need to test that product before you put it on a customer vehicle.

Also one of the biggest mistake for a newb is trying to correct the the incorrectable.
 
Go to the junkyard and get a hood to practice on.

That said I feel you could fix your problem with a different pad/product combo.
