Menzerna Polishing Compounds of Germany has set new standards for workability, uniformity, performance, and quality. Why else would Mercedes Benz use Menzerna polishes to perfect the finishes on their brand new vehicles?

Re: 2001 Beetle - Mini Detail - EHUTH1

So you're saying the Flex feels to heavy? If you're looking into rotaries, I've got a Makita and a Metabo. The Metabo is more like you're Flex and I much prefer the Metabo over the Makita...just FYI. I'm going to sell the Makita at some point just because it's collecting dust now.

The flex isn't heavy by no means, I'm just having to get use to it on the vertical panels and low to the ground vehicles.. I first started with a milwaukee rotary and that is probably the heavy weight of all rotary polishers. I like the makita due to it's 600rpm starting point. If I get ready to pull the trigger soon I'll keep you in mind

Eric, she looks awesome! Man that blue is so glossy...The reflection is jumping out at you.
May I ask, how much faster is the flex than the PC?

Put it this way Sparkie if both were going 0-60


The Cyclo would be 6.0 secs
The PC would be 5.5 secs
The UDM would be 4.9 secs
The Flex would be 3.5 secs

The rotary would be 1.5 secs...


Hope this helps.
