I have a buddy who has all of the rupes products, and all I can say is wow on the rupes vibration compared to the flex. Its like night and day. The rupes 15 was very slow where as the flex vibrated a lot. Can I expect the rupes to correct just as good as the flex?

The flex will want to walk with larger pads as well. how is the vibration on the g21 compared to your flex?

I'll keep all of these in mind. Weather has been warm and polishers are new. I usually don't take a break until lunch and when I'm finished and possibly I should use a lighter grip. Hard to believe problems developed so quick though.

Ive probably done 20-30 full paint corrections since I started. Is the g21 much smoother than the flex, like would I notice a huge different in buying it? I started out with the porter cable 7424 for a few months, I'm sure that one didn't help either.

Love the 5.5 orange pad with wolfgang TSR and chemical guys v38 polish. It's been turning the most damaged black cars into mirror and swirl free finishes with much less dust than some other compounds.

Is there any area on this forum I could sell my flex? Ive owned it maybe a month.

Flex 3402 and vibrations Hi all, I've been using the flex 3401 and need a little help. I started detailing about 6 months ago and buff a car at least once or twice a week. I have since developed trigger finger in my right pinky. I think all the vibration from the buffer has started to mess...

Hi everyone, As I'm learning to detail I've run into a few issues. While it's a great learning experience my ego has been taken a beating. I've detailed about 5 cars now and hoping to get some advice Products I've been using: PC7424 CG v36 Orange pad /v38 white pad Glaze Sealant Pad...

If the pads are dirty though, or there's black paint in them, they are now trash correct? I'll post pics of the pad when I get pictures of the car.

I was using the bucket pad washer and also the chemical guys pad cleaner. I wouldn't imagine that the porter cable I'm using would take off paint, and I didn't notice any areas where it looks like paint was removed. The car could've been dirty also. What's weirder is my friend called me...

Long story short, I detailed my 2002 Honda s2000 silver color. Car came out beautiful. I used chemical guys product (not that this part is that important) which consisted of v36 scratch/swirl remover, with a finishing polish, a glaze, sealant, and wax. The car came out flawless. I also have...
