Post Your Unpacking Pictures

Wish I would have gotten this a few hours before I did, but oh well, I have it now! :dblthumb2:

 
Mr. UPS just dropped off my package! I got a Rupes Duetto, Rupes polishes, Rupes pads, a Wolfgang pad cleaner and conditioner set, a bottle of CarPro T.R.I.X., and a sample of Blackfire Wet Diamond Waterless Wash.

Just a small order. I needed some 6.5 pads for my Flex 3401 so I ordered the Cobra pads but they were out of orange and white and substituted CCS's for them. I've never used Cobra pads. What the opinions on them?

You sell a 3403 or PE14?

I have an 849X that I use for metal polishing, its a nice buffer especially for that task but I like my PE14 much better for paint. Twice the money though.
 
I placed a few orders in the last week, and the last one just came in today. I had to split them up to smaller orders and I had some shipped to my parents' house and some shipped to my apartment...

Any guesses?



Here's a couple hints.





And finally



Thankfully it looks like the weather is going to be perfect to put most of these to a test on my car this weekend!
 
What size pads are you planning on using on the PC?

Why did you buy both?

Just curious

Nice haul. I also have the PC and Flex.

I got the PC to use with 4 inch pads and carpet brushes mostly.

I also had a PC before and I know what I can do with it. I've never used but have always wanted a Flex. So if I have problems with the Flex and I'm in a pinch, I can just use the PC.
 
I did the same thing

Had the PC and got the FLEX later

Converted PC to Cyclo carpet and upholstery brushes, 4" pads and recently the 3" Meguiar's Microfiber cutting pads, which work very well.

I also bought a rotary adapter, extension and rotary backing plate for 4" pads. Great for under mirrors and other tight spots.

I had the pe14. I had sold everything when moved. I'm so glad I tried the dewalt instead of the flex this time.I love it .... It's a flex on steroids. I like it WAY better!!!

There's just a few sources of foam, and fewer sources still that want to play in our niche. Those pads are likely something you've used already.

Huhhh?

Both are made of German foam, but CCS and Cobra are very different IMO

As is Lake's Hydrotech, etc. I'm just saying, Cobra isn't making foam in the back room. If you use a Griots, Lake, Buff n Shine, CG, Cobra.. Eventually you're using the same pad, assuming a flat finish.

The CCS and Cobra pads are different:

Lake Country CCS Pads, lake country polishing pads, ccs buffing pads

Cobra Cross Groove™ 6.5 Inch Flex Foam Buffing Pads,cobra foam polishing pads,foam buffer pads,dual action pads,cross groove pads,waffle pads


Most Microfiber is produced in Korea, but we can all agree that there is a wide variety in style, quality, price, etc. even within the same manufacturer.


Does your foam pad comment extend to RUPES. They seem different to me and many on the Forum indicate that they perform differently than others with specific machine.


Generalizations are fine sometimes...just not really helpful here.
 
Just a little box of goodies today! First time using P21 wheel cleaner, Nanoskin, and Carpro Eraser.
