    Can I get a lil Flex Polisher help???

    Everyones comments are true.. keeping it real flat is the key and using the machines own weight with a nice hold on the bale handle is the best to keep the flex from walking on you. But i guess with practice it gets easier. I remember the first time i used mine, the power of the flex was really...

    IPA wipedown - necessary or not?

    IPA 50/50 so 50% Isopropyl Alcohol(100%alcohol) 50% Distilled Water. Check the percentage of Alcohol it when you buy it. If its 100% or 99.7 then you would do 50/50. If its 70% alcohol which i have seen already, then in order to get a 50% alochol /50% distilled water mixture then you would for...

    Giveaway-New 6" Kompressor Pads

    I would love to try these 6" ones. I have used the 6.5" ones successfully and would love to see if having a smaller one of half an inch would make a difference in terms of balance with my flex 3401.

    Insurance in Canada

    where in canada? There is allstate, aviva, many banks such as td, etc. If your going to Quebec your best bet it maybe to try a private broker who will go hunting for the best price, or Desjardins (they have probably the best and cheapest home/auto insurance) I'm pretty sure Ontario and B.C. are...

    Polisher Recommendation for Beginner

    i was debating this myself when I had to choose which one to buy. Guess which one won?........ the Flex. If you use Mike's tips on how to control the flex you'll notice its quite easy to work with, especially once you get a hang of it. Key is to keep the pad flat on the surface of the paint...

    Anyone wanna trade for a flex?

    I would definitely use some pad conditioner as a lubricant. I've never had any problems with my flex. I've heard some people here say that it has a tendancy to run away on them as they polish, but i don't put too much pressure on the handle but still firmly hold the bail handle. I really think...

    Priming foam pads

    I am! I've been using the XMT Pad Conditioner. It works great and it never seems that the bottle is being used up no matter how many times i use it. lol. Same thing goes for the pad cleaner. But i agree that water would be the next best method. Never used QD.

    3401 and 5.5inch pads

    Hi santov, I believe the Flex Backing Plate will only accomodate 6.5" and 7.5" pads. If i'm not mistaken the only way to accomodate a smaller pad is by using the Edge Adapter system. Good Luck!

    Menz Power Finish

    Yes i was interested in that too. i neglected to purchase any green pads thinking that i would have been ok with my white ccs and kompressors. I thought it had said that in order to somewhat jewel the paint with power finish you had to release pressure on the machine....any ideas?
