If you're going to get a Flex rotary polisher I'd still go for the PE14. The high RPM is 2100 RPM and that's really as fast as you're ever going to want to buff anything for any lenght of time.

The low speeds make it easy to pick up a bead of product and spread it around before bumping up to the high speeds.

Re: Help with my boat

Ok Mike after a lot of reading and research I think I will get the following
1) Dewalt 849X -for the price savings I almost have enough to get the 3401
2) your gloss and color restorer ( my worst areas are a bit better than the whaler you did)
*** I just need your advice on the best pad ***
3) your all in one -- once again the way the whaler turned out was just what I am looking for
*** I have a bunch of the CCC pads in every color -- I guess you feel yellow is best
4) I think I will also do a step of the wax and sealant

I will be down Monday and will ask for you-- I appreciate all the help

I think I will get some extensions and some smaller pads as well as th 6.5 pads

What are your thoughts on the Blue Hybrid Power Wool Pads by Lake Country -- might get one of these as well as the purple just to see how they do vs my wool one I have already
