How To Use The Flex 3401


This is a full size truck hood and I divided it into 4 equal sections. It still requires >you< work the buffer as that's a pretty good size to tackle and do it well at one time.

Hope the above all helps...

All your information has been a great help. I watched each of the videos and learned a lot from them. I have a feeling all of these machines would work for me, I just know that after a short period I'll want the best machine for the future.

I've received three shipments from AG this week and I'll be placing another shortly for the 3401 w/plate upgrade, pads, pad cleaner and MF cleaner.:buffing:

BTW, I split my hood in half today and tried out some new product by hand.

Wolfgang Concours series: Awesome stuff but had a little bit of a haze to it under the shop lights. Probably something I did but who knows. The 3401 should help with this, but I was still happy with the product.
CG Blacklight and V07 combo: I first used Klasse all in one and put this over the top. This combo was just plain sick! I was giggling as I sat and looked at how wonderful this combo made my black car look.rops:

Thank you!:dblthumb2:

Thanks Mike, as usual your answer goes the extra mile. Think this explanation will help many of us out there that are considering a new machine. Again my thanks.

No problemo...

I remember when I first stated out we didn't have discussion forums to get help and I had to ask the people around me for their "opinions".

The problem was their opinions were wrong and I almost ruined my first custom paint job on my second car, which I pulled out of a barn and fixed up and then saved my money to get a custom paint job.

I remember that experience like it was yesterday and that's why I like to share with people how to do it right the first time so they won't have to do it a second time.

Tried out the Cyclo yesterday at a local shop. Seems to be a real nice machine, but kinda heavy and lunky. I'm still in for the flex order sometime next week.

The Flex is a good move.
