what Rotary's and D/A's do you have in your arsenal?

just curious as to what and how many different pieces of detailing equipment everyone has, and what are going to purchase next (if you plan on doing so)...



also, which one do you most frequently use?
 
i have a PC 7424 and tomorrow will have the makita 9227c. i got sick of taking hours to do a car, and have plenty of practice vehicles to learn the rotary
 
1 DeWalt

1 PC 7424



I want to get another DeWalt to dedicate to 4" pads only so I dont have to keep switching, but business is slow I guess =/
 
Dewalt 849 I believe, have to look in the garage. Was brought up on rotary, never had a PC or Flex. Would like a Flex, but being confined to the 6 inch pads (I think), is kinda a put off for me.

same here. that's why im opting for the XP.
 
UDM v1.0

Flex V3403 Rotary



The UDM I use primarly as a carpet scrubber for shampooing it makes short work of carpets. The rotary is a little fast at minimum rpm but its wonderful when compared to the UDM for corrections!

By now you probably know what a big fan I am of 4" pads...nonetheless, I can honestly say that the Flex's inability to use them is no big deal ~95% of the time.



It's such a non-issue that I've never installed my Edge backing plate, which would allow the use of my E2K-style Cyclo 4" pads. Nor have I sent my spare plate to my buddy who's gonna whittle it down for use with smaller pads.



With the Flex, most of the time you can just fit a larger pad and use the edge for anything for which you'd normally use a 4" pad.

Well, actually...now that you mention it :o



But I want to get some feedback about all the "new generation" polishers on the market...UDM/xp/Griot's/G220. No hurry as I, uhm...sorta have things covered already.
