Hi I am just getting into this and need your help on deciding whether to get a new pc 7427xp or the meguiars "DA" g110 and if so what else should i get withe either one such as backing plates, counterweights, pads and brushes thanks

you can`t go wrong with either, but if i was to choose i would get the new PC. pick up a 5" DA backing plate and some 5.5" inch orange and white pads (3 of each for starters) and you will be good to go...

btw... :welcome !

Im just curious why you would say the new PC, because I would say the opposite.

it`s been upgraded (more power, etc)...

Over the old PC, right. But not necessarily over the G110.

New PC- 6800 OPM

G110- 6700 OPM

New PC- 4 Amps

G110- 4.2 Amps

New PC- 5.75 pounds

G110- 5.5 pounds

Not seeing much of an advantage for the new PC

that`s what i was referring to the old PC, not the G110. with the G110 it seems to be a minimal difference, but one may not know until someone actually does a side by side comparison which i would like to see...

And doesn`t the G110 have a lifetime warranty vs. the PC, which maybe has what, a year or two?

I thought the G110 only had a lifetime warranty if you bought it direct from Meg`s...or was that just with the G100?

Just the G100 had the lifetime warranty.

pc.

You think the Flex is safe for a beginner? Just curious since I`m in the same boat here.

well, "safe" is a relative term. If your main objective is safety, then you probably dont want a flex. But if you want correction power and safety is not the main priority, but a concern, then maybe the flex is right for you.

Its safer than a rotary, if that clears anything up.
