Re: Flex XC 3401 VRG Review w/ Pics

Hey guys...don't know if you saw but CMA is now also selling the Flex. Their price isn't the best (not too mention the recent "issues" discussed on this board), but they do offer their thoughts on the machine. It's not a bad little write-up.

Club FLEX (nice Jonny) continues to grow!

Re: Flex XC 3401 VRG Review w/ Pics

I finally used the Flex for an entire swirl removal today. I have some gripes but I am pretty impressed overall. I personally think it's a much, much better machine than the PC. When I get the pictures up I will post some thoughts.

I have some issues with it. Mainly my 6" backing plate. The cord pigtails easily. but overall with CCS pads I am loving it.

Re: Flex XC 3401 VRG Review w/ Pics

I am ordering the Flex in a few weeks and I am really exited about it. To go with it I want to get a blue, orange and white- 6inch edge 2000 pad. And also LC 6.5 CCS pads in orange, white and black just to compare the two kinds of pads with this polisher and see what I like. BTW for the Edge pads should I get the Edge2K Drive DA Adapter or is it not even worth it? Also I am planning on buying a Aqua Soft Carpet Brush attachment mainly meant for a PC but it will work fine with the Flex right?

Re: Flex XC 3401 VRG Review w/ Pics

im not to up on the flex so i dont even think i should be answering your question but im feeling a saucy so why not....i believe an edge adapter is in the works and do not think the flex can use just "any" da or rotary backing plate

sorry if this is way off haha

This is correct, an EDGE adapter may be in the works.

Any sort of attachment that you can use on the PC will not work on the Flex. Two completely different means of attachment.
