Took the plunge into detailing, looking for some general guidance

Ok. I looked up the flex 3401, and that one is more than I'm willing to spend as an initial investment. The ones I was comparing the PC to were actually the Torq brand, so I was mistaken initially.

What are your thoughts on the Torq vs. PC?

Never used one of the Torq polishers, so can't comment on their cutting ability, amount of vibration, and ease of use compared to the machines I have used.

The machines I have used are the PC 7424XP, Griots Garage 6" R/O, Griots 3" (don't waste your money on this one, no power at all), Flex 3401, Rupes 21 w/5" backing plate and KB washer mod, and the Rupes LHR75E 3" Mini.

If I was only planning on doing my own car, of the one's I've used, the Griots 6" is the best bang for the buck. It has decent cutting power, moderate vibration, and has a lifetime warranty.
