The flex 3" is an animal and built stout like a 3401. I own an Adams SK mini and very much like it. I've also heard good things about the Rupes LHR75E

I too am an IGL installer! Premier is great! I would not consider is a true coating, however. More along the lines of a coating topper such as C2V3. The packaging says "Polysilixane" sealant. Agree with Justin, a little goes a LONG way! Application is a walk in the park! Best of luck!

I'm not an electrician, but I know the GFCI is 15A, however, the breaker in the box is 20A. Never "tripped" either of them. And I do run a cannon- I have a couple cheap amazon specials with 1.1mm orfices. They generate sufficient foam for me, albeit, less than a gas pressure washer. "Hot"...

I own the AR 630TSS Hot and am VERY happy with it! I picked up a 50' hose, quick disconnects, a different spray head and stainless steel swivel and the setup works fantastic! I have no problems running it on a 15A GFCI, but I think AR recommends a 20A.

Flex customer service is second to none IME. You can read about my expirience here: https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/flex-polishers/116913-little-brag-flex.html?highlight= Overall, the tools quality are superb and likely won't have any issues, but if you do, they helped me out tremendously!

I think you'll be very happy! My PE-14 sees pads ranging from 2" all the way up to 8" (on rare occasions), and hasn't missed a beat in the 3 years I've owned it! I'm sure the Rupes polisher is fantastic too, but I'm leary of the forward grip on it becoming uncomfortable over time. When I owned...

Metro air force master blaster for me! I have a long vacuum style hose on mine and I really can't notice any decrease in CFM. Autofiber dreadnought towels are excellent too if towels are your thing.

I've had experience with both hybrid pads and Uro-tecs. I started this thread stating my findings: https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/flex-polishers/109442-lc-hybrids-xfe.html?highlight= The hybrids (IME) vibrated a tad more but also contoured nicely on the XFE. URO-TECs are my current...

Opinions will be all over the map. I personally bought one 2 years ago (or whenever they first came out) and have used it quite extensively. I love mine. Look at it as another tool in your arsenal. Will it replace the 3401 for heavy cutting? Probably not (although fitted with a microfiber...

Another thing you could try is using a slightly thicker pad with it, like a buff and shine URO-tec (LOVE these pads). I use them on my XFE-7-150 with 5" BP frequently. My experience is contrary to what a lot of people recommend (thinner pads with long throws). My personal experience is that...

Thanks Todd for your help! I'm eyeing the 15mk3!

Team "Flupes" for me :laughing:. Or really whatever fits the bill and whatever I enjoy using! Currently have: (2) Rupes 21mk2 flex xfe-7-150 flex PE14 Adams SK mini GG 6" Used to have: 3401 Mille Both the gear drive units were great. I liked some of the new features of the Mille over the...

Hey guys, Im sure many of you are aware that Rupes announced the coming of the mk3 long thrown polishers this week at SEMA! Anybody going shopping when they're released? I have 2 mk2 21mm tools and love them! You think the mk3 tools will be worth the "upgrade?" Thanks!

Oooh! Pick me! I'd love to write a review! Been looking into grabbing a metrovac blower for some time now- this could be the ticket!

I'm a long time rotary guy and really like the 21mk2 and the flex XFE-7-150 to supplement it. Many times, I'll reach for my 21 first as it knocks the defects out very quickly! I have a Mille too, and while it is a very nice tool, I prefer the long throw options.
