My new Rupes Ibrid Nano arrives Wednesday and I'm really looking forward to it. Been wanting one since they came out. My question, has anyone cut down an interface pad and sanding discs for for the 2" backing plate? I've been thinking about this and thought I'd see if anyone has already done...

Mike, I thought I would have gotten your attention down in the Flex threads but I guess not. I recently purchased my first rotary, a Flex PE14-2, why are there no extensions that are at least 3"? For that matter, why are there no rotary extensions in different lengths? If I lived in the UK I...

That is some price tag. AG, you need to have a 25% off sale soon. My question is for the guys that already have one. Do these little machines have the "umph" to do headlight restoration. I think this would be the perfect mobile tool for just that purpose. From sanding to heavy buffing with...

The PE-14 thread size for backing plates is 5/8". Is 5/8" the same size as M14. I found an 80mm (3 1/4") extension bar with M14 threads. It comes from the U.K. and I just want to make sure their threads are the same size threads we use in the U.S.

Here are 2 headlight restorations in under sixty seconds. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q52HITxeEjI&feature=plcp]Sherman's Dodge Pickem' Up Truck - YouTube[/video] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M27GwlBfEXA&feature=plcp]2006 Nissan Headlight Restoration - YouTube[/video]

I was needing some spray wax and saw that Pinnacle XMT 360 spray was was on BOGO, so I went for it. I can't seem to find any reviews on this wax. Anyone using it? What do you think?

Here in Dallas, TX, we had 85 degree weather in the middle of February. Un-heard of but at least we got to buff some cars. The last of May and all of June, every weekend has been around or over 100 degrees, today (Sunday) it's just 97 but the heat index is 102 and the 4th of July it'll be 102...

I'm working on a 2007 black metallic Dodge Magnum RX, Hemi. It has swirls and holograms. I used my Flex 3401 on speed 2 1/2, Meguiar's MF polishing pad & D300, still have holograms. Switched over to Griog's 6" on speed 4 with Meguiar's MF cutting pad & D300, still have holograms. Then tried...

A friend at work came to me about over spray on his Murano. It happened about a year ago on a windy day in Dallas, TX. It has what appears to be real fine brown over spray that happened when he went under an over pass. He's already had the car clayed and still has the over spray. Any idea...

Here are the speeds for the Flex 3401. I wanted to know these right after I got my Flex back in November and had to search the internet to find them. Hope this will help. Speed 1 160 rpm / 3200 opm Speed 2 200 rpm / 4000 opm Speed 3 270 rpm / 5400 opm Speed 4 330 rpm / 6600 opm Speed 5 400...

With the new Flex 4 7/8" backing plate and Meguiar's new 5"MF pads, is this flirting with disaster or should you go with the 5.5" BP and 6" MF pads?

I have a G110v2 but have not bought the 3" discs yet. While the G110v2 does work on headlights, it's still just a little too bog on some headlights. What I'm wondering is how the Griots 3" DA would work doing headlight correction. Has anyone used Griots 3" DA with lights and what was your...

I've used it twice now. First time just putting wax on my car, it's new so no big deal. Thursday, I did a car that looked good from a distance but on closer inspection I could tell it had been wrecked. After a little investigation, it had been wrecked several times and had a brother-in-law...

Nice weather, still on vacation and I finally got to use the Flex for the first time today. I only waxed using NXT 2.0 and it could be my imagination, but because of the forced rotation, it seemed to do a better job applying wax. I do believe this is a toy, I mean tool that I'm really going to...

Where can I find videos or even forums with tips and tricks on how to use the Flex 3401 properly. Some say it's just like the PC 7424, only forced rotation. I've plugged this thing in and pulled the trigger, I think it's a different beast. Anyone know where I can find this kind of...

Has anyone tried a 4" pad, PC7424 or G110 V2 and Optimum Hyper Compound on headlights? You'd think if it was able to take scratches out of a car, it could clear up headlights.

Awesome machine, can't wait for the weekend. 70 degree weather and a chalky white Camero. Let the fun begin. Also got 12 Lake Country Smart Pads, Wolf Gang pad conditioner and cleaner and of course, the Flex bag. This was my step up from a G110v2, cable shorted out and a new one will be here soon.

I'm coming from a G110v2 to a Flex 3401. I know what the OPM are for the G110 on each speed but what are they for the Flex? I have the range of their range of 3200 - 9600, but for each speed? Just trying to figure out what speed I need to be on with the products I use. Thanks in advance for...

I've been buffing cars every weekend for about 3 months. I started out with a G110v2 and 7" pads. The G110v2's cord shorted out and sent it in for a replacement. In the meantime, I still have cars to do and decided to get a PC 7424XP as a backup from AG. I went with the 5" backing plate and...
