    Very nice work indeed!

    I'm willing to bet you really amazed yourself at how these came out. Dual action polishes are an amazing tool; very affordable and versatile. Without a doubt one of the greatest contributions to the detailing world in the last 20 years or so...

    Candy apple red is one of my all time favorites.............

    yeah i didnt think the reflection on my car would clear up as much as it did. i took forever on my car cause i only used the white pad to get the swirls out shoulda used a more aggresive pad but it worked lol just took a lonnnng time haha

    Both cars look awesome. I sense a flex in your future...

    The force is strong with you...

    But seriously, getting your first car done is an awesome feeling.

    Dubbin, I like you. I think one day we'll become the two best friends that anybody has ever had.

    But to answer your question, the flex 3401 utilizes forced rotation, which most people feel leads to faster correction when using foam pads.

    I know exactly what they are, I have one But I also have a PC and guess what, yup I grab the PC first. The PC has PLENTY of correction power PLUS it will accept 4" pads.
