I`ll give them a call Monday and see if I`m on that list. Do you know when it`s supposed to come in?

I think they`re still 2-3 weeks out.

Darn how did you know that was me who started that thread

I was also suprised that it did not get closed down.....as well as zoranc.I am glad that they did listen as this product is probably the best thing to hit the detailer,s world in a long time.The udm was ok but it is not even in the same league as the flex.

I was going to get a UDM but when I saw this I said forget about it. Im def. getting one just unsure about the pads to use. I was about to buy a UDM with LC CCS pads but I heard that on the new Flex they may not work best. Which pads would reccomend for the XC 3401? Thanks.

Licensed.....

Welcome to Club Flex! You`re going to love it.

**dsms** · 11-17-2007, 08:11 PM

What pads are you guys using?

**cjbigcog** · 11-17-2007, 08:54 PM

I`ve been using LC CCS orange and white pads

**DJ_JonnyV** · 11-17-2007, 09:07 PM

I`ve been using 6.5" Erasure pads from Excel Detail and 6.5" pads from Detailer`s Paradise. I think they are both actually made by LC from what I`ve seen. The Erasure ones are pretty flat, whereas the Detailer`s Paradise ones are concave, with the edges sticking down further than the center. I ordered a test round of LC CCS 6.5" pads and started out with the orange pad, and got some hopping around. However, others have had not issues at all. I don`t want it to sound like I`m giving them a bad rep. In all fairness, I need to give them another shot.

Licensed - welcome to Club Flex as well. We might have to start another thread to get a headcount of us now...

**Black Diamond** · 11-17-2007, 09:38 PM

I think a headcount is in order just for the heck of it.

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!

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.

Detailers domain is looking at picking up 100 units.

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