Hi Jeff,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Last week I was at SEMA and I'm just today returning to work.
It's possible the Griot's will be able to maintain pad rotation with the LC blue Hybrid pads as it has a lot of power.
As for the difference between the Griot's polishers, (all of them), and the FLEX 3401?
The Griot's are all FREE SPINNING orbital polishers.
The FLEX 3401 is a GEAR DRIVEN orbital polisher.
So it's comparing apples to oranges. You CANNOT stop the pad from spinning or oscillating with a FLEX 3401. Impossible.
So that's the difference and that's why all the way through my boat detailing book I strongly recommend anyone detailing boats for money of for the value of their own time get a FLEX 3401 - it's simply the best boat buffer on the market.
This is alway why I featured it on the cover of my boat book and not any of the other tool options on the market.
