    Thinking about buying a Flex

    I personally do not think anyone could go wrong purchasing a Flex 3401 for any reason. As others have said many times the thing" is a Beast ". Mine always does exactly what I ask of it. For heavy correction just turn it up on 5 or 6 and you won't believe what it can do. You can't stop it...

    2013 Accord Sport Detail Featuring Wolfgang Uber AIO & Pinnacle Souveran

    Nick, The Honda looks really great. I have detailed many of them and they have beautiful paint. The metallic is deeper and pops better than most. My daughter has one and when I wax it the quality and depth of the paint always amazes me.

    (DA) 8mm standard throw vs. 12/15/21mm larger throw

    Please don't take this the wrong way, no insult intended. I have been wet sanding all morning with Meguiars Unigrit 1500 Foam Finishing Disks with a 12,000 OPM DA sander, to level out orange peel on a clear coat finish. I then followed up with my Flex PE14 using Menzerna FG400. I also buffed out...

    Comparison of Flex, PC, DeWalt, Makita, Rupes

    I just purchased a Flex PE14 and I also have a Flex 3401. The PE14 is the finest rotary buffer I have ever used and I've been buffing cars for 50 years. The 3401 is just as good and will correct anything you throw at it. Next down on the list would have to be the Makita. I also own one of them...

    Help me talk a friend out of selling cars

    I have two good friends that worked as new car salesman for at least 10 years. One now owns a convenience store and is making $100,000 plus a year, the other had a nervous breakdown. It takes a special kind of person to cope with the stress, and infighting of a new car dealership. On the...

    My new Flex PE14 and some other stuff was delivered while I was watching the Rupes live feed, with Mike Phillips, yesterday. It took a lot of strength but I waited till the feed ended before I went out and brought in the box.

    Candy Apple 1955 Ford F100 with Black Label Diamond Paint Coating

    I never miss Dennis' show. That Ford is gorgeous, one of my favorite trucks of all time and who doesn't like Candy Apple Red! You might just end up selling the owner a Flex 3401, some polish and some Black Label. He needs some. Excellent work!

    Quick question

    I am still using an old extractor (carpet cleaner) bought from Sears around 1980 and it works fine. It doesn't heat the water so I just put hot water in it and use Folex to spot clean in advance. Any non foaming carpet, upholstery cleaner will work fine. I'm having trouble finding defoamer...
