Last week I tried the Über for the first time using my GG6 with great results.
So today I wanted to see how it worked using my rotary.
I used a white pad being that's all it took, it still finished down nicely and made the job much faster, it flashed very fast.
I'm so happy right now:dblthumb2:

You can't go wrong by buying the Wolfgang Über Compound:dblthumb2:

I haven't used it yet but I can imagine its a fantastic compound.

Which pad and rotary?
 
I used a CG'S white hex logic pad with my HF Electronic Polisher.
It's heavy that's why I was asking around here on the Flex Lightweight but I was told not to buy it because it will heat up on me, too bad because my heart was set on it.
Now I'm looking into a Makita, about to pull the trigger on it.
The HF Polisher surprised me the first time I used it, it replaced my old rotary Dewalt that was stolen , anyway it has plenty of power,holds its set RPM's, good balance, perfect for anyone who wants to learn how to operate a rotary.
I'm not replacing it solely on its weight, I don't trust it as my only rotary , you never know when it will quit on me.

I tried the Über on certain areas on my truck but mostly used the 205.
Yeah the uber is pretty darn good:)
 
It's no secret that the Flex machines run hotter than others. Sure my 3401 gets warm but that doesn't stop me from using it.

My 849x doesn't get as warm as the Flex but I would rather have the light weight machine and more heat than a heavy machine and less heat. But that's just me.
 
I'm not talking about the 3401, that's one fine machine :dblthumb2:
It's the 3403 model I was referring to.
Saw the Bosch which weights in at 6 pounds, the 3403 weights in at 5 pounds.

The Bosch GP712VS model has more power but I know nothing about it being I never read anyone here talk about it.
I'm still thinking about it.
However I love Bosch tools, I own a few of their drills and find them to be all very good.

I used uber compound on a Rotary and a wool pad to remove 3000 grit from a repaint at work.

Worked easily and looked great too

(Sorry not the best pictures, I don't really have the time to ge taking pictures)

I also used the Wolfgang polish on a Rotary.

Here are the results.

Side note: My cousin said that if I use the Menzerna polishes for our buff off. That it would be unfair. He said that it would be like bringing a Ferrari to a Honda race :laughing)

I would go for the PE if going for a Flex. The low starting speed is what makes this machine shine.
 
I read so many good things about the PE-14.
Something to think about.

I got a sample of Urber and really liked it. I will be buying it in the future.
