I think that only applied to the first generations versions. I've never done anything to any of my FLEX polishers and they run great.

As others have said in time the indents will work themselves out. For a quicker solution use steam. A steaming hot towel works well also (just not dripping wet).

Try Flitz. Pretty amazing stuff and it. Contains no abrasives so you can't scratch the surface. Just make sure the surface is cl3an to work on. A drill with a powerball makes it go a lot faster.

Its an easy fix if you have the right tools. You are going to at least do a blended fade and repaint the damaged area. I would never let that dealer touch the car again. There are many touchup paint suppliers that can provide you the paint. A touchup automotive paint gun is best but there are...

845 is awesome. If not mentioned already warm the way in hot water our out in the sun first. Best advise is a little goes a long long way. I can almost guarantee the first time you use it you'll put it on too thick which makes it more difficult to remove. Using a polisher is my preferred way to...

Nice car, mines a 2007 CLS550 also white (650U). With the Rupes I'd think a mf pad would be your best choice if you're really looking to remove all swirls. I've given up that ghost a long time ago because mines a daily driver. Keep chasing defects and you're bound to wear out the clear. I find...

I agree compound should be the last resort. As I indicated use a polish first with a polishing pad. If that doesn't work try a cutting pad with polish. You may also want to polish a test spot on your car because getting scratches with a MF bug pad is a little unusual. You didn't mention pads...

First welcome to AOL. I've never used the Boss fast correcting cream but I'd say start there with a polishing pad on the 3401. I'm assuming it's a polish not a compound. If that doesn't work and I bet it does. Follow with HD polish again on a polishing or finishing pad. Best to follow with some...

Flex 3401. I keep hearing folks say it's difficult to use or has a steep learning curve. While I guess that could be true I haven't expierenced it. I've seen many use it one handed and I've done it myself. To me it's about the perfect polisher. Pair it with a rotary and you're equipped for most...

LOL you guys are kill'n me. Put the pad you want to cut down on the smaller base plate. For example a 4" pad on a 2" base plate. Hold a razor blade knife up to the pad at an angle and bring the pad up to speed. Obviously you need a rotary not a DA. When you get the hang of it the spine of the...

Doing a detail class over their this weekend I'll try and get the details (punn intended).

Mine are from Sears. Basically the same sizes (have both) I never use the larger vacuum. Actually has a water heater take a dump in my garage and I used the larger one as a wet vac to clean up the flood. Smaller one serves the purpose. I'm not inclined to use a machine used for a vac as a...

My advice is don't look for perfection because odds are you'll sand through it. As others have said it's horrific. I use to paint quite a bit and never let a run go unaddressed. If it were me I'd either get my price or I'd move on. Best you're going to do is make it look better from 15' by...

Zach awesome work, funny title. Meow.....

See post #3. Take it as gospel. Forget the sticker price, buy onces cry once or wait for a sale. I too have the Dewalt it's old school. The PE14 is new school. Light years of differences. Your back and arms will thank you many times over using the PE14. Love my rotaries but I own DA's as well...

You're all correct but I have to wonder about the quality in the first place. Sometimes it's better to cut and run. I've never met a reputable painter that would not blend panels especially hoods and fenders. I'd like to know more information like the color of the car, pearls or flakes, age of...

I'll second that motion but have also found IPA can get it done sometimes as well.

WOW lots of paint on that Jag. Great job awesome looking car.

AMEN Brother well said. Then there are those clients or potential clients that you really do want but they clearly are not the majority.

Just an update to this thread. I'm not posting pictures as there are plenty at the beginning of this thread. Well I did bite the bullet and picked up the McKee's Turbo Car Dryer. There's both Pros and Cons to this dryer. For me the bottom line was not requiring a 20A breaker that the Master...
