I have the same combo of machines. I have not been able to justify a flex purchase. If you are considering a Flex I would like to hear your thoughts on the purchase.

come on up man, i live in north mississippi and have a tahoe to polish next week, ill let you play with my flex all you want :cheers:
 
What microfiber towels do you recommend? Has anyone tried the new Zaino towels?

macman3130, what part of north MS?

Rsurfer, I forgot to tell you.

I did the CD test with the microfiber towels from Sam's. I rubbed light, and then as hard as possible without breaking the CD. No scratches.

I didn't know Zaino had towels. All my towels are Cobras.

I believe it's three towels and shipping for about 35.00.

I should be receiving two Cobra MF's with my Flex pkg tomorrow "from AG". I'll compare them to the ones I already have. If they are that much better, I may have to order some.

Easy there macman i haven't even met you yet and you offer your flex to me to play with .I heard you guys up in mississippi were like that .LOL :cheers:
 
Do you guys still recommend oiling the felt ring on the new flex polishers, or has that issue been resolved?

ha well even with southern hospitality we still believe you break it you buy it
 
Every forum I've seen, everyone is stating they are just oiling it to be on the safe side.
 
Yeah, I ended up oiling it. It had some light oil already, but like you guys said, better safe then sorry.

I still haven't used it yet. Maybe this week with "no rain" I'll get a chance. :D

Question. I have a few spider web scratches, that aren't noticeable unless you look really closely. Should I start out with the Wolfgang swirl Remover 3.0 & white pad instead of the orange pad?

Also, is the flex pretty safe for curves on a fender?

I bought the Wolfgang FLEX XC3401 Concours Polishing Kit.
 
I've already had a PC by the time the Flex came out.
I decided to buy the Flex, and it has been a great decision that has paid big dividends for me.
It's my work horse now.
As for applying glazes and sealants, I use my PC for that, others do it by hand, I just like working the product into the finish for better results, but that' just me.
The flex could be a little cumbersome to use for sealant and glazes applications, but it's the best for paint corrections...
 
I'd buy a Griot's over the flex if you're looking for more correction power, but get the Flex if you're looking for a more predictable machine that gives fantastic results with one-hit.

I've used the Flex, the Griot's AND the PCXP and the machine with the most power and correction ability on flat panels is the Griot's. The flex is nipping on it's heals, but is still a step behind, regardless of how most people try to justify the $300 price tag on it.

It has less OPMs and RPMs than the Griot's and less power both on paper and in-hand. The Griot's does require a small bit of "dialing in" the right pad/product combo to get it perfect sometimes, but it literally is the closest you'll get to a rotary in correction ability with 5.5" pads. I know people will argue, but it's a fact.

Still a great machine though. Gratz on your purchase.
