I have a very lightly used Meguiar's G100 (Porter Cable 7424) that I picked up from Auto Detailing Solutions a while ago. Last I heard, ADS is still honoring the Meguiar's Lifetime warranty on the unit. I'm thinking about upgrading to the Flex, but would like to get an idea of what my stuff is worth before I take the leap. It would come with two brand new Meguiar's Soft Buff pads, terry cloth bonnets, backing plate, and Meguiar's duffle bag.

Any ideas?

Well honestly... I'd keep it. I detail 3-4 cars a month, I have a Flex and I have two 7424XPs... I use all three every detail. The Flex is a GREAT tool but it does have limitations. It uses large pads (they do now have a smaller backing plate available) which make it difficult to get in tight areas. You have to really hang on to it too, it is powerful and will run away quite easily. I do like to finish and apply the sealants with the 7424XP it is just easier I found.

I would say get the Flex first then decided if you can get away without a G110/7424XP... I still find lots of use for the 7424 and I absolutely love having a Flex great for the initial correction work... But thinking of adding a rotary to the mix later this year...

Hey thanks for the input. My friend has a Flex and I've gotten to use it on a few cars, I really like it. It's a totally different animal than the 7424 and has a learning curve, but I think it'll a step before I grab a rotary for myself.
