    FLEX PE14-2-150 for heavy polishing without overheating?

    Thanks, I was looking at the stats on both polishers. And it says that they both have the same amount of wattage imput and output. Does one have a better motor?

    FLEX PE14-2-150 for heavy polishing without overheating?

    Mostly boats. I like the Flex L3403 vrg because of it's light weight. However it was not made to be man handled with 8" pads. It has been overheating and clicking on and off. Now I am probably going to send it in to be repaired, and start using 6" wool pads instead of 8". But if I run into this...

    FLEX PE14-2-150 for heavy polishing without overheating?

    I own a Flex L3403 VRG and am dissapointed with it. It overheats and starts making clicking sound that kicks the machine on and off. And I know this is due to the pressure I use on it and probably the 8 inch wool pad on it. I am also using 12 guage extension cord. I am very dissapointed to say...

    Stored gas containers causing mold on inside of Detail Van?

    I'm getting these black spots on the inside of my van that look like mold, and I am 99% sure it's from the stored gasoline I use. Because whenever I clean the inside of a gas door just about everyone has this same problem. I keep a generator and gas pressure washer inside my van. Is there...

    Review: Optimum GPS

    It depends on what your goal is, I personally would not use this product for correction, since it is also a glaze. This is more of a product for someone who doesn't want to spend a lot of time correcting the paint but wants a showroom look from waxing. The polishing step is like an added bonus.

    Extension Cord Gauge For Griots 6" ROP

    I used to run 100 foot 16 gauge on my extractor, and one day I went to shampoo a customers carpets, and smoke started shooting out of the bottom of the extractor, then it caught on fire and all the plastic melted onto the customers driveway. There was nothing I could do except sit there and...

    Cards Disappearing

    This is because not everyone you hand a card out to is going to call you. You might get 1 out of 20 people, you might get 1 out of 50 people, you might just get 1 out of the whole box of cards you have bought. But if that 1 out of the whole box turns into a good deal then can you say it was...

    To those of you who have put the 5" backing plate mod on your Rupes 21....

    How do you like it? I have recently purchased the MK II 21, and noticed there is some slowing down whenever I get to a curved area. Would having a 5" backing plate with 6 inch pads give it more power for those curved areas? Discuss...

    My experience with customer service at Durrmaid...

    Just recently I had a problem with my extractor which I came to find out was my fault. I was running the Durrmaid 1600 with a very thin extension cord and come to find out, this was not a good idea. So the last time I tried to turn it on I had smoke shooting out of it like a smoke bomb. I didn't...

    Does anyone know how to get compound out of etched bugs???

    Is steam good for getting compound out of the cracks and crevices too? I might just have to up my game!

    Is Iron-X really necessary?

    You can also use Muriatic acid on your towels to help dissolve the imbedded contaminants stuck in them.

    Does anyone know how to get compound out of etched bugs???

    But I already polished it and put a layer of sealant, going back at it with a brush and apc sounds like a bad idea!
