New Flex with Corba Cross Cut Pads

2002 Viper ACR

Polish Only with more to come when I have a change to finish it.

Polisher - Flex XC 3401 VRG
Pads - Corbra Cross Cut Pads
Polish - Menzerna Micro Polish

I received my Flex on Friday and tried it out this weekend. All's I can say is I love this machine. Very powerful, comfortable and well balanced. I was going to use my Matabo for part of the detail but I ended up using the Flex for the whole thing.

Not to many cars have more curves then a generation II Viper and the new Corba Cross Cut pads did a nice job.

The car have never been polished before but it has been very well taken care of and only had light swirls. I love Menzerna Micro Polish. Takes care of light swirls fast and leaves next to no dust. I used distilled water for the pad conditioner.

Pictures after Polish Only.








I hope to finish it up this week with some Souveran Paste over Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant.
