I prefer my Metabo PE175-12 for compounding and polishing, but always switch over to the Flex 3401 for the last abrasive step just as insurance against holograms.
Just got this in today.
Hopefully will get to try it out next week on a black lexus LS430.

Using the Festool as a polisher really deserves a review.
The only thing I can find on it is as a sander, which rates #1; but nothing as a polisher.
Inquiring minds want to know

Hey Bryan... That`s an impressive-looking machine! Even at that price, that`s only the price of a 12.5-hour detail (by my pricing at $40 per hour). If you look at it that way, $495 doesn`t seem too bad!!!
I`ll be interested in your review also!:biggrin:ancing Dot::biggrin:ancing Dot::biggrin:

I got to give the Festool RO 150 FEQ a quick go today.
Powering it up.
It is loud with no load applied. I mean like a lot louder then the G110 v2. Maybe it still needs to break-in a bit.
Vibration: I consider the G110 v2 a low vibration machine comparted to the XP PC.
Unloaded (holding them both, one in each hand) the Festool had what I consider zero vibration as compared to the G110 v2. My friend Chris whos car I was cleaning up tried it too, no contest.
Chris had some time, so I tried out the festool on the hood of his Super Bee (recent model). I primed up an orange LC classic flat 6.5" pad with M105. His car is in need of a correction, but he needs some PDR work done first.
I applied a few dots of M105 to the primed pad. Started out on speed 5 and I`m hear to tell you the power of this machine startled me a bit. I turned it down to 4 made a few passes, then back up to 5. For the 2 mins or so that I used the machine, I could not feel any vibration. The festool`s power reminds me of the flex (at least what I can remember from a year ago) but it is very easy to control when pressure is applied to the head of the machine.
I did not try to bog it down by applying excessive presssure. The defects where cleaned up except for some deep water spot etching and deeper scratches that will require wetsanding in the future.
I only used the machine in random orbital motion. So I did not use it in "rotary" mode.
That was all I had time for today. So far so good with the Festool RO 150 FEQ.
I should find out over the next few days if I will be polishing a black LS430 next week, if not then the following week has a C6 vette and a 360 in store.
