Hi I am just getting into this and need your help on deciding whether to get a new pc 7427xp or the meguiars "DA" g110 and if so what else should i get withe either one such as backing plates, counterweights, pads and brushes thanks
 
you can't go wrong with either, but if i was to choose i would get the new PC. pick up a 5" DA backing plate and some 5.5" inch orange and white pads (3 of each for starters) and you will be good to go...



btw... :welcome !
 
Over the old PC, right. But not necessarily over the G110.



New PC- 6800 OPM

G110- 6700 OPM



New PC- 4 Amps

G110- 4.2 Amps



New PC- 5.75 pounds

G110- 5.5 pounds





Not seeing much of an advantage for the new PC

that's what i was referring to the old PC, not the G110. with the G110 it seems to be a minimal difference, but one may not know until someone actually does a side by side comparison which i would like to see...
 
I woudnt get either........i just go straight to the flex.If i didnt have the extra money i would just wait and save up.......cause it is that much better.

You think the Flex is safe for a beginner? Just curious since I'm in the same boat here.
 
well, "safe" is a relative term. If your main objective is safety, then you probably dont want a flex. But if you want correction power and safety is not the main priority, but a concern, then maybe the flex is right for you.



Its safer than a rotary, if that clears anything up.
 
The 3401 is a dual action, like the G110/PC but with forced rotation, unlike the G110/PC.



The 3403 is the rotary.

Never used ANY orbital, but chomping at the bit to buy one soon. I don't mind the jump in price from the PC to the Flex if it's worth it, but as a novice I might have a hard time justifying it unless I'm using it constantly. For a once a year polish, it may just be too much for my needs.

Just for clarification, the new PC has a 4.5 amp motor, not 4 and weights 5.5 lbs., not 5.75. And it comes with a 3-yr. warranty as opposed to the G110's 1-yr. warranty.
 
Thanks! Somebody jumped on me in another thread too for my incorrect numbers.



That's what I get for believing numbers about a machine that hasn't been released yet. :D
