New flex owner

I am proud to say that I received the Flex two days ago. I am really excited to use the machine but I have yet to buy pads and polishes. This is my first machine polisher and I am kind of worried about jumping into it. I am hoping there are some how-to's on using the flex.



My main question is what pad and polish would you guys recommend for a beginner flex user? I would like something on the mild side as I don't want to cause any paint damage. My truck's paint has been well taken care of, and my main objective is to remove *minor* spider webbing and micro-marring. BTW, I have a Black 03 Silverado SS.



Thanks in advance.
 
Try Sonus SFX 2 and 3 with the DAS Green Pad or the white Lake Country Pad. That should be very safe even at speed 6 with the Flex.

So if I were to use the SFX 2, could I follow that with Zaino Z5 applied by hand? Or should I polish with the SFX, than remove the polish by washing with Dawn, and then apply the Z5?

always start with the least aggressive approach. you can start with a white LC pad/megs polishing pad, etc.. with a mild polish (optimum polish/#80 etc). do a test spot and go from there...
