    FLEX 3401 not working right, erratic speed... Please diagnose!

    Well, I took it apart and cleaned it, sprayed electronics cleaner on everything and it seemed to help. The speed selector doesn't react super fast, but seems to hold the speed I set it at. I'm thinking it's either the speed selector switch or the trigger itself. If these ever go on sale I may...

    FLEX 3401 not working right, erratic speed... Please diagnose!

    Thanks Mike... I will look into that when I get home from work, but I honestly do not think the problem is with the cord. I also will admit I'm no electrician! What kind of a deal could you give me on a brand new one? Any specials or sales coming up on Flex 3401's? [email protected]

    McKees 37 Coating vs PBL Diamond Surface Coating vs PBL Diamond Paint Coating

    Thanks for the reply... Any tips or insight you can give me for application of the 2 products? Which one had a longer flash time? Were high spots an issue the following day, and were they difficult to remove? I'm working on a black car, so there's not a lot of room for error.

    McKees 37 Coating vs PBL Diamond Surface Coating vs PBL Diamond Paint Coating

    So what is the major difference between Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Paint Coating and McKees 37 Paint Coating? Seems they are very similar yet the McKees is about half the cost. I did read the PBL allegedly lasts up to 3 years vs 2 year for McKees.. but really don't expect that kind of...

    *NEW* BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating!

    If say that's a fairly safe bet. I too bought into this stuff another time it was on sale a few months ago and then read all the horror stories. I called and was going to exchange it for something else, but they talked me out of it. I still have yet to open it and don't know of I'll ever feel...

    *NEW* BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating!

    I question if the damp microfiber wasn't actually just wiping off most of the coating. I didn't send the blackfire crystal coat back yet, but i have not broken the seal either. I did try some Blackfire Crystal SEAL today, and it seems to work really nicely. I got this coating when it was on...

    *NEW* BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating!

    I got it, but I think I'm going to call and return it before i even get the temptation to break the seal on it and end up with the issues I seem to read everywhere. I may try the Black Label Coating instead, or may just stick with my traditional waxes and sealants. The more I read the more I...

    *NEW* BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating!

    So honest opinion... I've never used a coating before. Would you say it's safe to use this on my black stingray, or would you recommend buying a different coating? Is there any chance I could actually hurt anything with it, or is it at worst just a lot of additional effort?

    *NEW* BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating!

    So you smeared it all over the whole car even though it was "adhesive-like", left it harden, then hand rubbed it smooth?

    *NEW* BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating!

    So what did you do? Just rub through the stickiness? I just got confirmation mine was shipped... Wondering if I should just return it when it gets here. I think it's pretty crappy how you have to do an in depth search to find out it has virtually no shelf life after it's first use too. This...

    *NEW* BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating!

    Yes I know its not to go over the PPF, but was wondering what the prep is for putting PPF on and if I can apply this to areas that will see Xpel film application later on? Do they strip all the wax and sealants off the finish first? i'd assume they do... but would it hurt to put PPF over...

    *NEW* BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating!

    I just ordered this stuff because I saw it was on sale, but after reading some of the things about it being hard to apply and sticky, I'm having second thoughts about using it on my black 2014 Stingray. I've never used a coating before, and am afraid to mess up my car... I was planning to just...
