About six years ago there was a member here giving away a like new DeWalt 849x along with a few pads. All we had to do was send him a message as to why we needed or wanted it. For me it was I had just opened a full time detail shop and love using a rotary. Well I won and wanted to thank him...

Since moving my shop in busy part of town my business has picked around 20% I'm doing about 30 Ceramic Coatings per year plus the rest of the work that comes to my shop and use anything that will get me best results including the Flex3401. It really has cut my time down on paint corrections...

As some of you know I own a detail shop here in Louisiana and have seen increased business over the past few months. A couple of years ago I hurt my elbow and had to put down the Flex. I went to the large throw buffers and helped me recover being less stress on the joints. A couple of...

As some of you may know I love Rupes but think I'll have to go separate ways with them. First one. Motor went out Second one. Vibrated so bad it destroyed the backing plate. Tried installing a new backing plate, can't tighten the screw, the center that holds the screw just spins even if I...

I bought my Rupes 15 over a year ago, today while working on a paint correction it lost most of its power , sure it gets used often in my shop but thought Rupes was build better. It runs but it is no good to me at this point. Bummed :( Sent from my iPad using Autogeekonline mobile app

Was working on a black Kia SUV doing a One Step. Serious problems with tiger stripes. I tired ever combo I had in my shop and wasn't getting good results. So I went down to Auto-Zone, like in a rush, all I saw that I didn't have was Mothers Cleaner Wax, bought it and headed back to the...

I just ordered the Mini Plate and installed it on my Flex to be able to use the 5 inch pads. Gave it a go yesterday , will take a little time to adjust to it being its smaller. My main reason is to have mostly 5-5.5 inch pads on hand being my go to machines are the Rupes and at times my Flex...

Hello Geeks, Just wanted to let you know it's been three years already since opening my detail shop. We're doing very well, sure we had our up and downs but now stable. If you've been thinking about starting your own detail shop go for it if your in position to do so. I still look at it...

There's a body shop right next to my shop that's a friend of mine. He had this 30 year old Cyclo sitting around that he had no use for so I got it. Works great, came with a pair of white brushes and black brushes I gave it a shot of oil, blew it out then polished it. I ordered the new...

Well I received them and I didn't like it. Reason is because of splatter. Even using little product and spreading on low speed I still get a mess on my hand. What am I doing wrong? On a positive note they cut like crazy.

I received it early this morning, just in time to perform a full paint correction on a black GMC I wasn't sure if I'd get in time so I had my Flex 3401 setup. The very first thing I noticed was how nice it looks, lots of style, not that it's important but it did get my attention. Very well...

Long time I know but wanted to say hello and to let you know my Detailing business is doing much better than I had ever hoped for. That being said I decided to order a Rupes 15 to add to my collection of tools. My arms and shoulders take a beating being I do paint corrections daily and as you...

Just wanted to give my thoughts on the coating.. I coated the interior of an 08' and today I'll coat a brand new Buick SUV. It doesn't take much to coat a seat, if I did it correctly which I think I did 2-3 light mist onto a foam applicator pad is all that's needed to coat an entire seat...
