Tried the flex just now

But only 1 panel as the weather is brutul.

Unwashed but last washed by stealership

1000w halogen







Using my new sunlight



After Flex speed 6/ZPC/Green ccs pad (very light cut)

Halogen



Sunlight



Sunlight & camera flash



Wax is curing (lol) it was so cold I don't think waiting made any difference



Finished, but I had to use Z6 to get the residue off.

Re: Tried the flex just now

I ordered my Flex, waiting for the shipment.

Isn't speed 6 like really fast on the Flex? That's what I gather from what I've read.

Has anyone posted a speed comparison with the PC and Flex (with the Flex then topping out above the PC's speed 6?)

Re: Tried the flex just now

Looks good Tom. Some advice for the wax on the rest of the car. Apply it thinner, in circular motions. Wait about two minutes and wipe of the excess with a microfiber, wait about 5 minutes and wipe the final remnants off. I find the double wipedown works best because the coconut oil is "greasy" and can leave some streaking if you apply too much.

Re: Tried the flex just now

That is impressive! Mine has been in my garage for two weeks, waiting for a vehicle to try it out on!
