    Getting ready to buy a steamer.

    I am getting ready to purchase a steamer, and would like some input from the autogeeks. I would like to keep this as close to $600 as I can, but can put off purchasing a ptg to put more toward the steamer. I am part time at the moment, but pushing to grow. I am looking for a unit that will do...

    My 3401 went nuts for a few minutes

    Trigger lock was not engaged. I visually confirmed the trigger going up and down multiple times before checking to see if speed setting made any difference. The flex was plugged into a heavy duty 25 foot, grounded extension cord that was plugged into a standard wall socket.

    My 3401 went nuts for a few minutes

    Thanks for the responses. I do have my trusty rotary if the flex acts up again. The flex used with Wolfgang products has become my go to for most jobs these days. Hopefully it was just a random, isolated incident. As soon as I get a couple of other equipment purchases out of the way, a backup...

    My 3401 went nuts for a few minutes

    I purchased a 3401 a few months ago from AG. I have used it on 5 or 6 cars. Last weekend, I was using it on a Nissan leaf with severe water spotting. 1. Went to turn speed down to one to spread product out, and it stuck on. 2. Trigger or speed control had no effect, it was just on. 3. I...

    Looking to pick up a new Sealant

    FWIW, I just tried the Wolfgang paint products for the first time, and finished with dgps 3.0. All the products impressed me, but the ease of application and removal of the sealant blew me away! If the longevity is anywhere close to what they claim and others have reported, I am sold. Looks...

    I wouldnt seal it until it has had a chance to off gas. When I worked in a paint shop, we told customers to wait 3 months before using a sealant or wax

    Question on wdgps 3.0

    I am doing an exterior detail on a brand new 2015 jeep 4 door unlimited tomorrow. I plan on using Wolfgang products and my flex 3401 to remove the dealer installed swirls and coffee cup ring on the hood. I have fusion wax and dgps 3.0 at my disposal. I would prefer to seal the paint, since we...

    Meguairs 105 drying up quickly while cutting

    Wolfgang four are the four Wolfgang products made for pbmg. Uber compound, total swirl remover, finishing glaze, and deep gloss paint sealant. Mike Phillips says these four products will take care of 99% of paint issues. After reading and talking to Paul and Nick at AGO, I believe they are much...

    Meguairs 105 drying up quickly while cutting

    Same thing happened every time I tried to use 105 with my flex. I have used it with my rotary with great results(other than the dust). I finally gave up on using it with the flex, and ordered the Wolfgang four for use with my DA.
