LOL! I just noticed your picture in your avatar, assuming that's really you in the picture, it's no wonder why you'd prefer the Flex over the DA. My arms are about the size of your pinky, so you probably wouldn't have the same issues as me with the Flex LOL!

Ok. Only thing I have at the house right now is some stock red Chevy paint on my van, and some incredibly soft custom paint on my Colorado Xtreme. It'll probably be better to do something like this on the van, since it's more like something you're gonna run across. Nick

Even with just the weight of the machine, the Flex was not incredibly difficult to handle, but it was still all over the place. It would be a chore to do an entire vehicle(for me) like that. I removed the cutting pad, and finished cutting using a finishing disk. I tried the Flex with the top...

I'm sure it is the added friction of the MF material is creating the grabby/jerky feeling with the Flex. With the added foam of the finishing disk, I'm assuming that it's absorbing some of the grabby and jerky feeling that came from using the cutting disk. I'm not 100% certain that the MF...

No no! Don't be sorry! The more we learn about all this, the better off we will all be. People perceive things in different ways. Just like my objections to another members comments, some could say that I may have over reacted a bit. We all see things in different lights. That's what makes us...

So you're asking if you can get a pristine finish, using the finishing pad and the DA Compound? That's gonna totally depend on your vehicles paint. I did several tests with the finishing pad on the Flex, using a cutting compound, and found that the microfiber material seems to be exactly the...

Guess that all depends on the product you're planning to use with the finishing pad. Nick

Questions were asked, and answers were given. I don't see anything even close to a sales pitch anywhere in this thread. Heck, I wouldn't have even been in here if my name wouldn't have been brought up by other members. There has been a great deal of information brought to light by this thread. I...

For the Flex users out there, here is my feedback on that tool... I found that personally, I didn't care too much for the Flex and MF cutting disk. Maybe I'm just so used to using the DA and MF disks and I just need to get used to it a bit more. But like Stoops stated above, it won't leave as...

Happy Birthday Laura!!! Make sure you take EXTRA special care of that certain someone today!:props::props::props:

OK, so I'll be the one to step in here and make some sense of everything that's going on. For the record, I am not employed by Meguiar's, or get any compensation for doing what I do with them. Nothing at all! It's no secret that I am a Meguiar's "Fanboy", but I'm also a Menzerna "Fanboy", Lake...

Yes sir, a 1954 300C. I should have a lot more pictures of it up within the next few days. Been extremely busy the past couple of weeks and barely had time to eat, much less process pictures :hungry: I'll get them up as soon as I get a chance. Nick

No need for thanks, I really enjoyed the day, had lots of fun! I learned a lot from this event, as it was my first. There are some things I'd do different, but not much. I may do this again here soon. Maybe over the winter or the first part of the spring. With this learning experience behind me...

Got a chance to play with the Griots DA for a while.... Man oh man! So much has changed since I started detailing! You guys that are just starting out now should feel very lucky with the tool/pad/products choices you have available to you now. I know, I know, back in my day.....up hill both...

Finally got some pictures together. This isn't all of them, I'll add more as free time comes along. But here is some to tide you over. Here's a good shot of some of the group and the inside of the shop. Lots and lots of cars!! And yes, they all need to be detailed! I love free labor...hint...

Ahhh, got ya! Just for clarification, I'm talking about the lightweight rotary that I posted a link to in the original thread. Not the DA, or any other machine :xyxthumbs:

Isn't that what we're talking about?

I think it acts more like the Dewalt. But I tend to leave the trigger "locked on" most of the time, so that doesn't effect me too much.

Thanks Colin! Obviously I don't have the post count, so it's nice to have someone vouch for me! Should be posting my thoughts on the Griots DA and the Wolfgang wax here pretty soon. But I'm sure you guys already know the bennifits of these two items :xyxthumbs:

Nick Chapman's Review of the Flex 3401 I'm not much for writing reviews, but wanted to share my experience with this product. As some of you know, I hosted a detailing class Saturday November 14th. Mike Phillips joined us, and taught the class. He brought an assortment of tools and...
