That sucks.......maybe try a few zip ties and duct tape lol

I definitely get what you guys are saying maybe if they had it with lower rpm ranges it would be a better choice. I think i might wait and get the long neck ibrid. The more i read and watch about it it seems like a great tool for small areas with plenty of power.

I mean by tilting the pad towards one side so only maybe 1/3 of it is making contact for example around door handles. Sorry i dont know proper terms or anything but i cant do that with my meguiars da because it stalls every time. I watched a video that Mike Phillips made at sema and he said with...

I have some 3 inch pads and have used it but sometimes you need smaller and you cant really walk the da on its side without stalling like i can my flex 3401 . Thats why i was looking at the PE8 starter bundle with the 1 2 and 3 inch pads. When i went to look at the mini i also looked at the long...

would getting the rupes mini be a good upgrade from the meguiars g110v2? It just seems like its lacks some power but havent used a whole lot of buffers so maybe its just me. In my experiences it stalls out quiet a bit and i know all das will it just seems like it needs more power to me. So i am...

I have got me a flex 3401 and love it it does a great job and the forced rotation is the best part. I use my meguiars g110v2 with 3 inch pads for smaller areas now but i was thinking about getting the PE8 for smaller areas, pillars and headlights. I hear it is safe if you are careful but i have...

Re: Flex 3401 and HD Speed vs. Rupes 21 and UHS, Pinnacle Advanced Wheel Cleaner and Black Fire Eclipse Tire Gel, Thumbs up all around I have a Flex 3401 and got to use it for the first time on this Ram i did and i used HD Speed with a LC light cutting pad and results were amazing for what HD...

I thought about the polishing possibly heating things up a lil its startin to seem it might just take a lil more time to do the job in colder temps but possible

Thanks for that link it was pretty informative

The products i have to work with are Rupes medium and fine gel compounds hd cut polish and speed then i use 845 for wax. The garage i will be using is a big garage its like 40 x 80 so it would be hard to heat it up but i am hoping that the temps dont get too low on me in the next few weeks. I am...

I have a garage to do it in but its not heated. I thought about renting a torpedo style kerosene heater but just wasnt sure if i needed to or not. I have led tripod lights so they wont help but that is a good idea might need to get some for winter time or just an extra set.

Winter is approaching and i have no heated building for detailing as it is just a side job on weekends but i have been doing 2 cars a weekend for the past 6 weeks and have 4 more scheduled. One is a Ram crew cab for paint correction but i was wondering is it alright to do it when it is say 40...

Fabulous job i always like to see your work it makes me jealous lol but inspires me to get better

I have never had any complaints but people dont like my prices but they dont realize all the work that goes into a true detail and then buffing all the taping off and stuff u gotta do. It took a while to do but its rewarding when u stand back and look at them when they are completed.

This is only my third vehicle i have corrected and the first with my new flex 3401 and i love that machine. I have another black ram crew cab in 2 weeks. I only used hd speed on lc light blue cutting pads with nice results. I have hd cut+, hd polish+ and hd speed. I also have some rupes medium...

might sound crazy but i have used my leaf blower to get snow off but i live in kentucky so we usually don't get a whole lot. It works great on wet or dry snow and it pretty fast if you have a decent blower. Tip: Make sure you aren't downhill from the wind it seems to get a lil cold lol

With my recent orders i have received some lake country smart professional foam pads (1 orange and 3 black) variable contact. I researched them and it says they are made for a rotary but they fit my backing plate on the new flex 3401 so could i use them on it. The part# is 46-276vc if that helps.

Ok see theres that learning curve lol i have thin pros and some buff and shine flat foam pads that are pretty thick so i will use them and save my thin pros for my meguiars buffer it still does a decent job i just wanted something better but nice to have a backup also.

Sorry if i confused anyone the low pros are lake country

I have an eagle 1 prep mitt and i started using soap water like you guys have advised people and i think its much faster also then just rinse and dry....thanks!
