    Flex on order

    I fluttered my credit card across the internet and ordered a Flex 3401. :woohoo: I have a quick question about random orbits in general: do you need to be careful around creases and corners, or simply go over them like they were flat?

    magic eraser on interior plastic

    OK... so it's bad mojo to use the magic eraser on leather. But can it be used on interior plastic trim. I have some marks that I cannot remove with soap and water. These would be tire marks that I got from hauling some spares around one day.
