Very nice, I have been using the porter cable 7424 and the cyclo I for sure want a Flex 3401. Very nice job

I haven't used the cyclo but I have a porter cable as well. I use it with 4" pads now as a mini polisher. The flex and Rupes both have a ton more power than a PC, which means you save a ton of time and get better results on the super hard C5 clear. Which pads and polishes are you using?

I have a few MF cutting and the rest are foam pads, as well as foam polishing pads. I use Adams, AMMO mainly. I have hit great results just takes a long time lol

Looks like I need to do the same with my GS and learn how to keep the paint looking great. What is the going price for something like this? Have to see the paint first? I am 3 hours south of Houston but I have no problem driving my car. You can PM me if you like. Thanks
