On Autogeek there is an option for the PC to select heavy duty. This come with a 25' 16 gauge cord. It states that the PC will be more powerful and not bog down.



Will this actually make a difference and for $40 extra is this really worth getting. And also do you guys have any problems with the cords on the PC's where it actually goes into the PC?



Thanks in advance.
 
$40 for another year of warranty and a longer, heavier-duty cord. I doubt it'll add any power. The heavier-gauge cord will simply "keep" the power that is conducted with a shorter cord.
 
Well since this is my first time detailing and I am trying to do so on a budget I think that I will go with the PC for now (not the HD version) and then move to the flex possibly down the road.

yeah I keep reading that the PC really isn't too strong and the Flex is a lot more powerful, basically I have no idea what to buy now

you can buy a rotary & PC for about the price of the Flex. it just depends on what you want, and how often you will use one or both...

Thanks Al, I'll go ahead and order the PC with all the 4" pads they make for it
 
I agree with Al. I would suggest buying a PC before buying a Flex a) b/c it's your first machine. The PC is easier to handle. b) The cost. c) Once you're comfortable with the PC, then move to a rotary.



I have a Flex, and my feelings about it have been back and fourth. After using a PC, then a UDM, I wanted to move to a rotary but after using one a few times, I just wasn't comfortable with it so I bought the Flex. But, after using the Flex a few times, I found myself wanting to learn the rotary. Now, I'm comfortable using a rotary (although I'm not at the same level as Todd, Scottwax, and some of the other great rotary users here). Now days, I'd rather just use a PC or a rotary (my UDM broke). If I'm using a PC, it's going to be a 1-step AIO type of job. If I have to do correction, I'm pulling out the rotary.



So, there's my own thoughts on buffers. :)
 
I own a Flex, a PC and a Griot's orbital (which I need to sell...). Also have the Griot's 3" pneumatic RO, which I love. I'll probably never move to a true orbital. The flex is very powerful, but a little bit of a handful - you have to pay more attention to control than with a PC. I'll keep my PC and Flex, and use them both a fair bit.



For starting out, you really can't beat a PC.
