Hi everyone,

I was just about ready to pull the trigger on a PC7424 when i found out about the Flex XC3401. After reading all the good reviews on it, the posts here, and some youtube vids, i pulled the trigger on it. Got it from Auto Geek.

I did order with it the BFPK-500-CCS - Dual Action 6.5 inch XL Foam Pad Kit. This kit includes:

Kit includes:

2 CCS 6.5 inch Yellow Cutting Foam Pads

2 CCS 6.5 inch Orange Light Cutting Foam Pads

2 CCS 6.5 inch White Flat Polishing Foam Pads

1 CCS 6.5 inch Gray Finishing Foam Pad

1 CCS 6.5 inch Blue Finessing Foam Pad

2 Cobra Microfiber Bonnets 6Ã¢â‚¬

1 Lambswool Leveling Pad

12 oz. Pinnacle XMT Polishing Foam Pad Cleaner

12 oz. Pinnacle XMT Polishing Foam Pad Conditioner

Did i purchase the correct kit for my Flex? Will these work ok? The site says its for the PC7424 but i assumed it would also be compatible with the Flex????

Also, what do i need to purchase to make changing pads "quick and easy"? I`m assuming that is what the velcro backing plates are for? Which one should i get that works the best with the kit that i purchased? 5inch or 6inch?

I do have some expereince with a PC7424 that i borrowed last season from my neighbor a few times to get used to using it. He had some sort of "quick change" adapter on it where all you had to do was press down on the center of the pad and it popped off. He got it from Adam`s polishes i believe.

Anyways, sorry for the long post and many questions, any help you can give would be appreciated.

The Flex has an integral velcro backing plate, so you don`t need to buy anything else. Sounds like the "quick-change" adapter you are talking about is the Edge 2000 adapter, which is currently available for the Flex only direct from 3M; the pads in your kit won`t work with the Edge adapter.
