Do it yourself, learn the skill, you'll get the similar results, yes it may take longer but you get the knowledge. I'm in between recommending it over the Flex 3401, for upscale polishers I suppose you could call them, but I have no experience with either. But agreed with above I'd just stick with a Griot's at first.

I just think the Rupes has that want factor since it's the new and shiny, like Blackfire BlackIce.

Polishes just go either Menzerna FG400/SF4000/SF4500 or Optimum Hyper Compound/Hyper Polish.

Pads go microfiber, Meguiar's, Optimum, Buff and Shine (who make 70-80% of the foam pads you see out there)

I think the tried and true M105/205 just has a bit of a higher learning curve than other products.

Although HD's new Adapt which is a compound/polish all in one looks awesome.
