Who says white has to be boring. Look at that white shine on this HellCat. This is with my new love...The Flex

EDIT: " if they came out with a reasonable priced gauge for clear coat, i would be in, otherwise, go light when questionable" :)

IMO who cares about paint thickness. Once you go deeper than the clear, it a whole different ball game and a costly mistake. Now if they could come out with a device that measures clear coat thickness, I am IN!. Too many times someone brings a car and we have NO idea age of paint, type of...

As some of you may have read in an earlier thread from me, I was trying to decide between a Rupes Mille and the Fex 3401 to compliment my Rupes LHR15 MKII and the Rupes 75. In the end, there we're so many good reviews of the Felx that I went that route. My primary objective was to speed up...

Blow dry followed by ECH2O and microfiber. Can’t beat it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Grab your seat belt and buckle up. You are going to hear everything from “it’s a system” to “it’s engineered that way” to “the hook and loop is designed for lateral stress” and so on. Having to grease a polisher backing plate just seems like the most illogical approach to a solution but that’s...

Has anyone been able to confirm that a ceramic coating on hot chrome exhaust will work including hot headers? If so, which one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well that was an expensive thread. Decision is done. Flex 3401 VRG HD. Ordered it along with some pads. Thanks everyone for your input.

Well, I am glad you two hugged it out. :) After much debate and reading, I think I am going to give the Flex a try. How about Pads? Was probably going to get the 6 pack of lake Country Forced Hybrids. Good choice? Better choices? With 6 being ordered, which ones? I think 3 orange and 3...

Hey Mike. Thanks again for the constructive help. After lots of debate and reading, I think i will give the Flex a try. The only thing I am cautious of is getting used to the rotation direction after using Rupes but I suspect thats not too big of an issue. However your post about the CBEAST...

Thanks mike. That does help. I had originally thought Mille only to save pads. However, like you, I can handle some vibration in exchange for speed. Thinking Flex at this point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Mike for the reply. Doesn’t really help much though. The point of this is to try and narrow things down rather than “guessing and hoping” I am trying not to order $600 worth of stuff only to be disappointed and have to try again. Although I am sure AG would like that. No doubt there is a...

Rupes Mille or Flex 3401 Thinking about adding another tool to the arsenal. So far I have the Rupes LHR15 and the Rupes 75ES. I want to get something that will make shorter work of cutting without going to a rotary. The LHR is decent but I don’t feel it cuts very efficiently. You can get...

What he said. Totally normal.

But why? I bought 6 washers at Tractor Supply for all of $0.07 just in case i messed a few up with the bench grinder or go full on and get the $8 versions from Buff Daddy. Either way you can decide if you like it without tearing anything up permanently. Plus, the washer gives you the option of...

Touché! or they can actually try it to see the difference and thank us non scientific minions later.

That’s a lot of typing to repeat the same old story line. Lateral stress blah blah. Not buying that one for a second. Just admit the gray plate sucks and move on. As for the washer I guess that’s personal choice. The euro crats safety makes sense but that’s the extent of it. I am no engineer...

Never suggested I did. Read it again. I thanked people for the help as it was new to me and certainly not the greatest of engineering prowess.

No problem. I really appreciate the help. At least this way i can run it with or without the washer. Although I am liking it so far with. :) If by falling apart you mean literally. Man that's true too. I noticed one of the plastic screws that attaches the head cover was missing. That...

Let me first say that i really like my LHR15 MKii. However, I recently replaced the old style backing plate with the new blue one and wished I had turned to the forum much sooner as it has solved a lot of my issues with pads sticking adequately. Now that I have the new backing plate, I...
