    Your flex is probably a forced DA....massie difference between it and a run of the mill DA!

    What model flex is it?

    Exactly what I was thinking.
    Big difference between a das6 and a flex to be fair.

    Oh ya it is forced, I was lazy and just wrote fr for forced rotation.

    I was just saying I rarely reach for the rotary flex over the vrg

    That may well be just me :-)

    The forced DA is as effective as a rotary, because it doesnt bog down!

    Most detailers if they have both, will used the forced DA for 80-90% of the work.....I use a rotary for the majority of work, as its the machine Ive always used and have...wouldnt mind picking up a forced DA, but couldnt justifity it at the moment!

    I wonder what autobrites new da will be like, reasonable cost and they seem very excited by it.

    I asked about one before I bought the ep801
    I was told that because the throw is 21mm it would not be suitable as an all in one machine.

    Was tempted though.

    I've had an EP801 for nearly two years now and haven't used anything other than 3M waffle or cutting pads. Have I been wasting my time?

    Yes, I have. A part of me wonders whether they could be better though.
