Hi all,
Quick questions for those working with the flex.
I've been using a PC, recently picked up some 5.5" Lake pads to supplement my original 6" ones. Also have a 3.5" backing plate and have been using the 4" pads to do spot areas and also for smaller areas (bumpers, 'c' pillars, etc.)
I just bought a flex. I'll obviously be using my 6" pads but am curious about something. I know that the increased power of the flex will take care of the corrections and I won't need the 4" pads for that, but how do you use the larger pads on the flex in the small areas? If the pad needs to stay flat but hangs out out over the area being polished.
Also, I've never been TOO concerned about exactly centering the pads on the PC, but with the forced rotation of the flex it's probably more important. What methods do you use to center the pad on the bp? Do you mark the pad edges?
Thanks,
Russ
