About the Flex polisher - I compared this to the 7424XP. I have not used one. So I watched the Adams detailing videos carefully. The Flex is a more powerful machine. Which is great for working on heavily oxidized paint like you had. It would have taken less time if you had a flex and used severe scratch compound. However, and here's the rub - with the flex you cannot slow it down enough to lay down the machine wax in a nice even layer. The 7424XP does that real well.

In the ideal world you'd have both machines. Not wanting to purchase them both I chose the 7424XP.
