it had a 1 year warranty i believe but its been 2 years now, i used it for my light polishes since i never really had any deep swirls. Oh well i guess i can up grade to the new PC XP

Time to upgrade to the FLEX

twinturboa51 · 06-23-2009, 10:57 PM

+1 on the upgrade

ejazbmw · 06-23-2009, 11:02 PM

no need to upgrade i use a rotary for deep stuff since I'm experienced with it, I used my PC for light swirls and applying sealants. I'm probably going to buy the PC XP
