Hey guys, thanks for your reply. The car did not have any scratches on it. I did not do the entire car. I only did the trunk to get a hang of things. I used a speed of 1 in the entire process. Should I try a higher speed? I am using 4" pads BTW. The car is an Audi A8L.

I was polishing my new black car using the Flex 3401. Used Menzerna SF400 with white hybrid pad, Menzerna SF4500 with black hybrid pad, Wolfgang 3.0 deep gloss sealant with black hybrid pad (cure time of 30 minutes) and wiped it off. Now I don't know where the problem is but I didn't really get...

Thanks again. When is flex releasing the small pads? For raised body panels, only a portion of the pad is in contact with the panel. Is it OK to buff like that? What applicator do you use for hand polish?

Thanks guys but I really don't eat to buy another polisher to get the small areas or raised body lines. I am trying to make do with what I have

Hi Mike, I have question about holding the flex 3401 for curved panels. Is it ok to hold it like this? Also for panels which have smaller concave parts, the pad edge is too big to enter to buff them. What is your recommendation then?

What are the smallest pads that can be used with the 3401? If required, I will change the backing plate. Feed back please

Thanks for your reply Nicholas. The dealer said that the protection will last 2 years but I highly doubt that. Do I need to strip the previous protection away or do I just follow the standard buffing and polishing procedure? I plan on working with a flex 3401.

Howdy, got a new car and dealer put some protech extreme finishing and special cleaner on the car. I want to start polishing and detailing my car but am not sure what the effect of polishing on top of these products will be. Anyone have feedback?

Sweet, please pay special attention to the corners and raised panels.

I would very much like that. When do you plan on putting it together? Is there any dvd from Mike@AG that explains this?

Hi Mike, is there any technique video for the Flex 3401?

I bought the 6.5" pads (along with a lot of stuff!) and will give these a try right now. If I feel underwhelmed, will try the 5" pads. Is there any technique video for using the Flex 3401?

Hey guys, thanks for your replies. For the 5" pads, do I need the 4-3/8" back plate?

In those 12 hours cure time, wont the car get dirty? Do I have to wash it again or can I just straight up apply wax?

Hey Mike, thanks for your detailed response. I was wondering if you could critique my method: 1) Wash car thoroughly 2) Use Nanoskin with lubricant instead of claying 3) 1 run with SF4000 with white hybrid pad 4) 1 run with SF4500 with black hybrid pad 5) 1 coat of WDGPS 3.0 6) Fuzion (1 hour...

Hi Mike, Just had a question about Menzerna products. I am getting a brand new car (Audi A8) and wanted to know which polishing product should be used along with which pads. I am thinking about using SF 4500 with 6.5inch yellow and black hybrid pad. Do you think I should buy the white hybrid...

Howdy folks, amazing forum you have here. I am planning on buying a new black Audi and wanted to know which pads and polishers would be the best for a mirror like finish. The DA of choice is Flex 3401. I was thinking of 6.5 hybrid pads but dunno which ones specifically to buy.
