You’ll love it. I tried it with a bunch of 6” pads as well and ended up liking the stock backing plate and 5” pads a lot more. So far I’m about 4 corrections in, did a couple sealant applications with it and some spot corrections. Love the force hybrid wool pads from lake country as well as the...
The rupes stalling was never what I would call an “issue” for me cause I was able to work around it and it still does remove imperfections without spinning just a little slower and needs some extra attention but it did detract from the user experience for me. To the point where I found myself...

The wife just picked up a low mileage used Audi Q5, I plan to do a correction and coat it with cquarts uk 3.0. Typically I’d do a test panel with a couple different pads and such but my DA crapped out on me and I’m picking up a new flex xce. Seems like it’s recommended not to use standard pads...
Anyone have experience with the new corded XCE compared to the 3401?
