Tom great turn-n-burn on that beast. Do you have the new BlackFire one step? I also love HD Speed but on black and dark colors the BlackFire removes more defects in the same time.
I have the Flex 3401 and use it in the South Florida summer heat. Yes it does get hot but it does still work properly. In the summer heat I will take more breaks to cool down and that is a good chance for the polisher to cool down also.
We spend $ 100,000.00 thousands on our cars but a proper $500.00 investment stops us from enjoying them? Please buy a polisher kit from AutoGeek and let us all see those beautiful cars the way they should be seen. The fact that you got this far says something about your ability to use the kit...
This is good Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax, no rinse car wash, rinse free car wash, optimum no rinse and easy to use. For drying you can use the spray wax that helps to dry spot free. Optimum Car Wax is a spray wax made with real carnauba and synthetic paint sealants for protection & shine...
Well I will share that I have a black 4" buff and shine flat pad that just goes back in the bag each time. If I use the sealant correctly the pad hardly has any on it when I finish.
I use the polishing pal Pinnacle Polishin? Pal for the accuracy around edges and areas the pad on the machine...
Sam that is exactly the type of job I love and my son hates. I tell him we need these type of jobs so that every job after that seems like a vacation. Your work is excellent, hope that is for a new owner? Just remember not to confuse that 24 hours of Sebring is a race not how much time you...
Actually the PE-14 rotary is very good for quick defect removal, delicate detail work with 1", 2", and 3" pads. The rotary can turn very slow.

I was in the class and will chime in, yes they are heavy duty and they are being used and are still in good shape. I also own them and have found that they are durable and clean well.
I have a customer that has a beautiful highlander that I polished and sealed. She was getting water spots on her long hood. I told her to back-in when she parks so the rain now runs off instead of puddling on a level hood. The car no longer gets the spots on the hood.
What do you plan on using for a machine? I have had good luck with the Ibrid from Rupes. I used the white pad white polish combo on a Mercedes with wood trim scratches. Can you post some pics?
Just get some Blackfire AIO BLACKFIRE One Step, BLACKFIRE Total Polish & Seal, polish and wax, cleaner wax, car polish or HD Speed 3D HD Speed 32 oz. and call it a day. The young man is most likely going to hang Easter eggs on it next month.
I hate to admit it but I really enjoyed wet sanding and then using the wool pad. That was only my second time but I was able to make progress. The first time I left deep lines and sanded to close to body edges and areas that only someone like Mike Phillips could buff out safely. This time I was...
