Thanks! I received the flex yesterday with an orange and a blue pad. I also ordered an additional orange and blue pad but got the 5.5" version, can I use those as is or should I get that backing plate? I'll look into the hydro pads for my next purchase. Along with the megs polish I have half...

Wow I go away for a couple days and you guys throw up some more great info! My flex is on the way and I'll look into the hybrid pads when I need to replace the ones I get in the kit! Can someone send a link to the ccs backing plate system that I will need for the 5.5" pads? Thanks!

Damn, I like being lazy so the washing machine method appeals to me but it looks like I'll have to actually put some effort into cleaning them!

I will see what I can do but I only have my phone to take pictures with so I doubt the detail will come through. The defects on the merc are obvious (to me at least, good eye) but the ones on the vette can only be seen under certain lighting conditions.

I found this which I may try, not too expensive especially since I don't expect to use the polisher too often: Snappy Clean Pad Cleaning Powder, foam pad cleaner, lake country pad cleaner, wool pad cleaner, citrus foam pad cleaner, polishing pad cleaner At about $10/pad they are definitely...

Spoke too soon, they have a flex kit with most of what you recommend: Meguiars FLEX 3401 Ultra Polish Kit with 6.5 Inch Pads, Meguiars Mirror Glaze Polishes, Meguiar's 105 Compound, Meguiar's 205 Ultra Finishing Polish Once I'm done polishing are there any tricks to cleaning the pads? Should...

Sounds good to me, they even have a kit with everything you recommended: Meguiars Ultra Polish Kit with 5.5 Inch Pads, Meguiars Mirror Glaze Polishes, Meguiar's Polish Kit, 5.5 inch buffing pad kit I may just buy that to cover all bases!

Thanks for being so helpful! So the three oranges would be for defect removal, the grey would bring out the shine (less abrasive I assume), and the red would be to apply a sealant? I think that is what I will go with. Any thoughts on which polishes to use with the pads? Thanks!

Good to know, thanks for the info! So if I purchase the five pad kit which pads would you recommend? Thanks!

I see, I've never used one before so can you explain why I need so many? I don't mind applying waxes/sealants by hand, been doing it forever! I really want the polisher to fix defects though I will probably buy more pads in the future to do things right. I could also get this kit with five...

Hi, I'm about to purchase a flex kit from autogeek, probably this one: FLEX XC3401 VRG Orbital Polisher Kit with Free FLEX Polisher Bag, FLEX Dual Action Polisher and storage bag, FLEX bag kit Or alternatively this kit from Amazon (don't know which kit is better): Amazon.com: FLEX XC3401 XMT...
