Well, that ROCK is a 3/4. IT was on that one finger the night I had the fender bender. Good thing that Diamond did not get messed up. he he he

BTW - It was a pleasure having the chance to speak with you as well.

Well, here are a FEW PICS of that MB after I did stage 1 today. I will finish the 2nd Stage tomorrow. Uh, did I mention the FLEX ROCKS!?!?!?!? Oh, I also want to say THANKS to Rick who help a lil and watched me to make sure that darn finger would not have a problem.

You need 6.5" pads, orange and white pads is what I would get. The 5.5" pads fit also, but leaves zero padding protection around the edge of the backing plate
Keep your PC to apply your sealants/wax with. The Flex is NOT the most friendly buffer to apply sealants with, not that it couldn't be done, it's a little too cumbersome for that kind of application...

All the pads I have are the 6.5". Only ONE orange pad it 5.5.

I'm not getting rid of the PC. Since you advised me you use the PC for sealants, I will keep that in mind. If you are using the PC on sealants, what speed do you use? 3/4 ???

The 5.5" orange pad will be great on the Flex for some spot correction, like a tough scratch and things like that...

As far as the PC speed setting to apply sealant, it's a matter of preference. I like to set it at 5 for large panels, and slower like 4 around tight contour spaces, maybe slower around rearview mirrors and such, but generally on 5 for large open panels with no obstructions
