Simply put, I cant justify (believe me, I've tried like hell) dishing out the money for the Flex polisher. So, I've decided to go with the PC 7424xp.
Been looking at several kits and have them narrowed down to three that I'm considering, but not sure on the polishes. My truck has light to moderate swirls, marring and fine scratches.
The first kit comes with:
1 - Menzerna Power Gloss Compound (Compounding)
1 - Menzerna Power Finish PO203(Polish)
1 - Menzerna Super Finish PO106FA(Final Polish)

The second comes with:
1 - 32 oz. Menzerna Super Intensive Polish (medium polish)
1 - 32 oz. Menzerna Nano Polish PO 106 FA (final polish)
1 - Einszett Glanz (for your last step (wax/sealant)

The third choice comes with:
1 - 32 oz Meguiar's M105 Ultra Cut Compound
1 - 32 oz Meguiar's M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

I've always been happy w/ Megs products, but I've never used Menzerna or Einszett. Any inputs on which to go with? I'm leaning more towards the second kit mentioned. Thanks

 

The 7424xp is still a good machine. Not forced like the Flex but it can still do quite a bit. If it were me i'd go with the 105/205 combo. Then top it all off with some #20 or #21. I am partial to Megs though.


FWIW, Megs just released they're G110v2. Stronger than the older version with a couple extra new features. And it's only half the price of the Flex.

 

Great, now you go and add another option into the mix!

I've heard/read good things about the Menzerna products but like I said, I've never used them before. I can get most Megs products locally so that's another reason why I was leaning towards the Menzerna polishes...if I dont like it, I can use the Megs I already have and/or can get.

 

If you are happy using Megs products, why change? M105 and M205 are excellent products. If you can't justify the expense of a Flex, how can you justify all kinds of different products "to try"?

 

On the chance that there's something out there better than Megs. Also, my Megs usage is limited to swirl-x, swirl remover, nxt2, #6, #7, #26.
And $300 for a Flex vs. $25-$35 for a couple bottles of wax is quite a bit of a difference to justify.

 

Be sure to get plenty of pads. At least six would be a good starting point, four of them being polishing and two finishing. That will definitely cover you no matter what kit you go with.
