I agree with you Antti on the Flex XC 3401 VRG cause that's what I use and I'm a novice and love it. The flex is user friendly if used with the correct pad and proper use then you shouldn't worry about anything.

I like the flex. Though in certain cases, I use the PC.

I need to get myself a PC just to have variety and choices.

I use the PC when there is not much clear to work with. I just like to be careful. Since the PC does about 60% of the job in the same time as the Flex, I feel like I can take smaller layers off while still letting the product I am using to break down correctly.

I just feel like the Flex can be a little overkill for some jobs. I LOVE THE FLEX THOUGH!!! Let's not get that confused.

They say it can protect for up to 2 years... I have to try that out. It would be bad for business though LOL. I do let my customers know that I offer it just in case.

Yeah.
I want to try the Cquartz as they say it has some light swirl/scratch resistant abilities...

This video is quite promising. It's a manufacturer made video, but not like manufacturers usually, they're not hyping the protecting abilities too much, but rather realistic.

I was asking a friend of mine who has been detailing for years and he told me that the AQuartz is a much better product. It has a better hardness and scratch resistant surface and is easier to apply because you cant really mess it up. He said the CQuartz is a great product as well but does not have the same scratch resistance and it can leave streaks if not applied properly.

Just a heads up

Thanks for the tip, Tony .

I have ordered the Gtechnik C1 too and I thought I could make a comparison between that and Cquartz. I've read that C1 is easier to applied at least..

I heard the same. If you will do that for those two, I will do a comparison with the AQuartz and the CQuartz.

Deal?
