If you do 2 things, lube the felt, more is better, and DO NOT overtighten the bolt the machine is simply the best IMO. More problems have come from overtighting that anything. Lube is as problem that should have been addressed by Flex but was not. Mike

All my cars are fairly new, my 08 Vette only has 180 miles. My 86 Buick T-Type even has fairly good paint so not a lot of work to do but who knows what will happen in the future. Mike

I have never used a polisher, I will only use it for my own cars, so a couple times a year I guess. It is not so much a money issue as an issue of safety for the paint for me. It seems that the extra power of the flex also brings some more chance to do damage. Would that be accurate? The Megs...
