For versatility and cutting power, I say FLEX. I don't have a RUPES so I cant comment legitimately on it.

He is an amazing guy! I have several KB custom BPs. When you talk to him he is so down to earth!

Agree, I keep a garden sprayer, 2 gallon, of Ultima Waterless Wash + on ready. Spray liberally and wipe off in between ONR washes,

It was my favorite before I became a coating zealot!

The leather is coated with a vinyl/plastic coating. Be careful not to use the 1Z where the coating is worn off. It will screw up the dye.

If only one polisher Flex 3401 can take pads from 4 to 6++ with LC BPs. One polish G|Techniq P1 Microfiber - Microfiber Madness! Coating CQ Finest for high end, OC Pro for all else. Trim DLUX Rubber - PERL ar Wash UWW+ as WW or rinseless.

It seems like FLEX is getting some much deserved love again! It has a learning curve but not as much as a rotary.

Congrats Steve! I am sure you will be a happy camper with the RUPES!

Any new insights? Havent heard much lately.

IME, Steve is right. Their MF pads are great too! Don't forget to get a 5" BP too. The best are from buffdaddy.com and are customed cut to allow edging with all of your 5" pads. Well worth the extra $!

:dblthumb2: The 3rd gen is also the best consumer grade DA from an ergonomics perspective too!

Well I am a huge fan of the Cyclo! It is one of my favorites ! It is built for several lifettimes and is beautifully balanced. It should be considered a serious polisher. With the variable speed it can do a lot of correction. It is much lighter than you would think too! My other USA made machine...

Steve, hit a second coat as soon as you finish the roof and bumper. I would coat the whole vehicle and then play with your spray waxes and sealants! I haven't forgot I need to send you a few things.

Once you learn to apply, the durability blows away Permanon. Keys are cool surface, low light and less than 30 seconds between app and thorough rinse. Hydro 2 outperforms Permanon in all aspects except ease of application. ReLoad is the clear cost per app King!

I have to agree with Chad on these! I am fortunate I have access to them. For the consumer, I would go CQUARTZ UK as I hear it is very easy and looks great!

For me UWW+ in a 2 gallon Garden Sprayer is the bomb! I always spray this very liberally before any type of wash,. I use it stand-alone occasionally. I am surprised no one has mentioned Opti-Clean or DP.

A compressor is a must unless you have enough pads to replace the pad after each panel. I find I replace after a couple panels and I have a compressor. M101 will cut great with MF. M300 is a great SMAT polish as well. I am a coating guy so I don't use D301. Optimum Polish is a simple...

If your ONR has wax as you stated, you cant rely on it to clean the surface after polishing. A damp MF would be better and CarPro Eraser better still!

For ease of application and looks, I would say CarPro CQUARTZ UK.

The waterbased Polycharger mixes with water based Sealants, waxes and QDs. It has a long half life. The carbon based PC is used in solvents and n must be used within 12 or 24 hours. I would stick with the 601.
