Hello, thanks for the reply. im ordering: 4.5inch backing plate 5.5inch hybrid force and 6.5inch hybrid force, btw whats the purpose of that centre hole? lol thanks

Bump

In hybrid power pads: Blue pad=orange pad in hybrid force? Orange pad = grey pad in hybrid force? Thanks

I'm going to buy the 4.5 inch backing plate from flex and the LC 5inch hybrid power finish pads is this the ideal setup? I understand the new force pads are out too but there's not much difference between them. Thanks jack

For a black car, being a noob, can I leave holograms or scratches with flex? Thanks Jack

is that backing plate ok? As it’s difficult to order from America with customs and postage costs so this is the only one I could find Flex 386715 Velcro Plate with Gear M D115/XC; for Roto Exente Rpolierer XC 3401 VRG: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike I would order from you guys other wise as the...

thanks for your reply, ill probably never need to worry about using the grey pad, as I'm not gonna do detailing as a big business and its more for myself and people I know and family and so will hopefully never meet those badly defected paints! although useful advice, most paints I plan to work...

From the rather disappointing photos, is work so far any good? Ye flash makes there look like there are swirls bit there aren't any when I looked, the post is on previous page Thanks Jack

Thanks Mike, I just don't want to but swirls or holograms back in but I'll give that go on the side of the pad, as for the waffle pads it was all I could get at the time for practising the flat pads will probably be smoother than the waffle pads but unfornately I'll have order all online as my...

Again sorry for all the questions as it's always pays to exercise caution than pay for new resprays but if I get the flex 4.5inch backing plate is there any pads available for this plate in 4.5 to 5.0 inch as I can't find any on autogeek, maybe I'm not looking hard enough and as said above can...

I also just wanted to ask the best way to A and B pillars, or door handles. Can the flex do damage if used on these areas or how can damage be caused using the flex in general to paint work ? thanks!

I don’t think there’s any haze and swirl marks seem to be all gone at first attempt.

I've got some photos to show progress so far to see if I'm doing it right! I'll upload separately

So ive got my Flex and did a bit of compounding with I believe a 3m compounding pad (mountains and valleys shape) all I could get from the local so I’m enquiring now what I need to order in terms of pads, compounds, Backing plates and polishes. I’d also like to know what’s the best was around...

Sure will! I’ve an old car available to use as a template so I’ll practice with that, gonna do half the bonnet and snap a pic, will probably have to wait 2 weeks for the machine to arrive unfortunately but can’t wait. Thanks guys.
