Flex time?

togatown · 03-14-2009, 02:33 PM

Throughout this forum, there seems to be a lot of good reasons to purchase either a FLEX or a PC. The upfront cost is substantially more for the Flex but since time is money ( or fun ), the savings of several hours on a full detail seems to be worth the extra expense.

If you have used both, did the FLEX really make a big difference time wise on a 3/4 step job. I don't have a lot of correction to do so the added power for that is not an issue. I'd just rather be doing something besides polish all day on a nice Saturday.

Thoughts?

I will be detailing my friend's car in this coming Thursday with my new flex!
I will get back to you!

It's not about cutting the time of a detail but the Flex makes paint correction easier. A PC can only do so much where a FLEX has more power so it makes paint correction easier.

I use a rotary and a PC, I see no need for a FLEX for me.

Thanks for the input, as I mentioned, I am hoping to not need much correction, but it would be nice to know that the Flex could take care of it if I did.

the flex is overall a better machine.

better quality, better control, better basically everything.

LMK we have them in stock and in kits that will save you a nice amount of change.
