Not at all, the standard hose is 5/16” inside diameter adding 1/16” to the inside diameter will not make a major difference at all. Works great with my MTM Foam Cannons.
Note: I also use a mosmatic swivel. MTM Gun, mosmatic wand, 4.0 nozzle
3/8" Quick Connect Fittings, then again i use a 3/8" pressure wash hose.
I also got rid of all the M22 connections on my pressure washer so no need for M22 hose any more.
I converted from M22 to 3/8" Quick Connect at the pressure washer so I can use standard hose without the M22 fittings and...
JC,
I really think you are going to be happy with either machine. Both Rupes and Flex make great machines. I currently use Rupes Machines and I am extremely happy with them. I personally have never tried a flex machine but there are a ton of people who have and have provided great reviews on...
To me everyone who already responded to this post gave you the right steps to take. They key always is decontaminate first,then start with the least aggressive method to see what the paint can take and how it reacts. I don’t know what products and equipment you have but for me I would take...

The pads will work fine I have been using them with the same machine and washer mod for over a year. I have watched enough YouTube videos and everyone uses thes pads with the RUPES machines.
Another pad to look at when hen you get a chance is a UbER Microfiber pad. I moved to these since...
I would recommend upgrading to at least 4 pads, 6 would be even better.
Regarding speed try to stay around speed 4 i noticed at speed 5 the pads due start to degrade faster.
Since you purchased the kit you may have received the first generation of pads. When you order just new pads you should...
If you can afford it why not go with a SCANGRIP Multimatch and put that on a tripod. They work amazing.
I currently use the SCANGRIP Sunmatch to look evaluate the paint and my work and I love it.
If either of these two options are two expensive then I would look at...
You definitely need more overall light in the garage, I highly recommend led's 6500K.
Then I would get a light stand to hold two led flood lights to focus on the area you are working on correcting.
If possible it would also help if you could epoxy coat the floor or use Swiss tray to help...
Yes you can touch this up with clear. It looks like you still have some clear that is ready to come off.
Revemove remaing clear, touch sand with clear preferably 2K clear.
Let dry then level with 3,000 grit, compound and polish
I use Rupes pads, Rupes microfiber pads and Meguiar's microfiber pads.
go out and purchase 6 yellow Rupes pads, 6 white Rupes pads and 6 microfiber Rupes pads or cut Dow Meguiar's microfiber cutting pads to fit and then you will be set.
