My Flex XC 3401 VRG

Well, I decided to use the Flex today since I was told that the red bp would be okay to use while I waited for the black one. I have to say, I LOVE IT! I was able to do some polishing and walk away with out back problems. Very nice. I didn't think that I would use speed 6 cause when I turned it on inside it was very loud and fast, but after messing with it I was all over 6. The machine isn't that loud outside, inside its very loud. Vibration was NOT an issue at all. With the PC I would polish the roof of a car and my hands would feel the after shock of the vibration for a long time, not at all with the Flex. I was able to put pressure on the machine and it did not bog down one bit. I have to say that I am very happy with this machine, and thanks to all who have written reviews about it and led me to spend money

Good to hear, Jay!!! I'm glad you like it. Now get some pics posted!!!

Yeah I'm kicking my self because I didn't take pics. I was too excited to use my new toy and forgot to take any. As soon as I get some I will definetly post.

Also, out of curiosity, what pads and polishes were you using? Trying to get a gauge of what else outside of Menzerna works well with the Flex. I'm thinking about trying it with some Optimum polishes this weekend.

The speed, results and ease-of-use really do speak for themselves.

Think of it more as an investment, not just spending money.

But yes...it's great to hear the continued glowing reviews from others.

With the PC I was using edge pads and thats all. I went with CCS pads(6 1/2) and Optimum Polish. I bought 2 yellows, 2 whites, and 1 black all to test out before I decided if I like them or not. I do like them so I will probably get more. I didn't get the car 100% but I think if I would have played around with pad/polish combo it would have been better. I ended up using white pad with OP for the entire car. The section that I used OP and Poli Seal came out swirl free. The rest of the car was just done with OP and there were still some swirls. The reason I didn't use PS through out is because my girlfriend was hanging out and I got distracted

then I ended up putting OP on the black pad I was using PS for. At that time I was cursing my self for not buying two of those. Oh well. Oh one bad thing I noticed was on the back of the pads (I'll try to remember to take a pic and post) were they stick out from the backing plate was getting ripped just a little bit because I would put pressure on the machine and it would kind of cut into the pad(the bp). I don't think that it is going to be a problem though. I will let you know what happens with that.
