Video: Long Throw Polisher Sound Comparison

The Flex weighing almost one pound less than both the Rupes and Griots is probably the best selling point. ~20% lighter on top of quieter and less vibration makes for a hard choice between the three.

Griots, Flex, and Rupes are some smart marketing companies. Keep coming out with newer models with new technologies and features and us detailers will keep buying them. I could spend $1500 right now on polishers and still spend another $1000 just to make sure I can polish every conceivable curve or recess:)

You can't go wrong with any of them, but there is one thing to consider--especially if you're going to use this for just your own cars. The Griots machines have a lifetime warranty and their customer service is excellent. Imagine if you only use the polisher a few times a year and then 3 years down the road you have a problem--no worry with the Griots they'll take care of it rather than spending $80-100 for a repair.

So true, I'm also considering the double shot rubber, plus the Gun handle grip is in keeping with how I hold the end of the handle.

VERY NICE VIDEO!!!! Thank You Ray and Paul for the video!!! I do not appreciate you guys making my head spin as to now I might have to get the c.c. out, I might be the proud owner of the FLEX XFE7-15 (I wasn't even thinking about getting this before the XCE 9-8 150). Also, Thank You Mary B for the request (or should I blame you for my head spinning and going into debt???)!!!

Soo.. That's a PE14-2-150, XFE7-15, XCE9-8-150, the Griot's Boss twins, and the Rupes twins ??

This yellow foam is softer, which causes it to compress to one edge. This compression will work itself out quickly (although not quite as quick as the video is shot), which is why you have some up and down movement as the pad rotates to the compressed edge and back to the uncompressed edge.

How quickly are we talking? The Rupes was shaking badly.
