San Fernando Valley/Santa Clarita - Flex

**wicho661** · 05-10-2010, 07:15 PM

Hey, is there anyone in Valencia or the San Fernando Valley (or close by) who uses a Flex XC3401? I want to check one out before I commit to buying the machine + pads.

Pro-Detailers: I`d love to observe if you`re willing.

a lot LOL the body shop that painted the panels from an accident did a great job of leaving me some nice holograms, unfinished panels, even the chrome trim has holograms lol. they burn almost every rubber trim around every window. then the customer was told by another "detailer" that the paint was burnt, if the customer gave him $150 he could cover it up but only till he washed it LOL

I`ve never done a black FX, but could it be that they went with another brand of paint? The black G35`s I`ve done haven`t been nearly rock hard like, say, an Escalade.

no it was factory paint. i actually did it a while ago. but the owner got into an accident before our appt. he has been waiting to get the body work done to have me detail it. unfortunately after the first trip to the body shop, he had to take it back because they didnt finish sanding the painted panel. i didnt want issues with the body shop so i suggested he take it back. now i wish i hadnt advised him of that. he should be dropping it off tonight or tomorrow morning and leaving it till sunday. so it`ll be worked in amongst the rest of the stuff i have going on
