Flex--does size matter

I'm thinking of upgrading from PC to Flex. Seems the only downside is
that you can't use smaller baking plates/pads--is this true?

thanks

Re: Flex--does size matter

if you can get an edge adapter you can use 4" pads. not sure if they are available right now.
you can just keep the pc for that purpose as well as lsp application and carpet cleaning like i did.

Re: Flex--does size matter

I bought the Flex this year and still use the PC with 4" pads in hard to reach areas. The smaller pads really increase the power of the PC. I would theorize using the same setup on the more powerful Flex might increase the chance of striking through the clear coat.
