    Next choice: question about polishers.

    I know you sell them all so you have to be careful BUT, I have zero issues with soft paint on either of the flex gear driven models I use. IMO, the stalling is just a pure waste of time and hassle. Soft paint has nothing to do with stalling. Everyone has their preferences for sure but I...

    Next choice: question about polishers.

    I agree with Mike 100%. I have long ditched my free spinning devices. Now I correct with either a rotary or the 3401 first, then polish with my CBeast(XCE cordless). Man what a nice combination to knock out any project. Being able to do that last step polish with the cordless is a true...

    Flex XCE 8-125 for production buffs?

    I know the OP has already ordered but here is my take on the Cordless XCE for the next person doing a search.... I am going to have to agree with MikeP. I just received the CBeast and used it for the first time. It is a VERY capable machine. Perhaps not quite as powerful and the legendary...

    Topping for CQuartz UK 3.0

    I usually don't get involved in forum discussions because most of them inevitably turn into an "I'm right, you're wrong" argument but this one seems civil and I can contribute with experiences of UK3.0.. In the coating game, it's all about durability/longevity vs ease of application. A spray...

    Boat Ceramic Reviews - Post Installation

    No Hijack at all. I am looking for any experience I can find regardless of product. I typically prefer carpro products but they seem too proud to sell their Nautik to me. I had to make a decision so I am going with the Gyeon Q2R gelcoat for this one so we will see but keep the info coming. :)

    Boat Ceramic Reviews - Post Installation

    With he recent introduction of marine specific gelcoat ceramic, I am curious to hear from folks that have used them and how they are holding up. I have already seen Mikes posts about his boat detailing classes and his 3D ceramic installation but I would like to hear from other folks on their...

    Thoughts on Flex PE8 Kompakt Rotary

    It’s ordered. Just couldn’t stand my Rupes 75 any longer. Hopefully this is as good of an upgrade as it was going from my Rupes LHR to the Flex 3401.

    Please chime in on CarPro Gliss v2...

    No, it’s because I do good work and the word of mouth gets lots of references to their friends. Funny how they keep coming back. Dumb comment but carry on Mr internet expert. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
