Now that takes a steady hand, concentration and it certainly doesn't hurt to have a lightweight, compact rotary polisher. Nice picture Chad...

How I wish I could be part of this class, wonderful ambience for this that will be a very interesting work.
I've also liked your pictures Chad, and your signature 'kicks swirls'!
Good luck to everyone joining, enjoy, a lot, for me too!
Kind Regards.

Re: The Flex PE14 Rotary Polisher - The rotary I grab first...
Wow I'd really like to head down for this one . Just bought one of these and tried it just for basic jeweling at 600 rpm with CarPro reflect and a LC gold pad and STILL managed to induce what appeared to me to be something like holograms.
Frustrating, since I know it has to be my technique (not a knock on the polisher at all - it's a really nice tool) and this would be a great way to learn some more..

I'm going to have to save my money for one of these so my neighbors won't have a reason to complain about the noise.

This was an epic transformation to this car and I think everyone had a chance to buff out at least some portion of either it or the 1965 Ford we also buffed out that night using the Flex PE14.

I've read a lot of good things about CarPro Reflect but to be honest I have not tired it yet. I'm planning on testing it on black paint so I the skill and knowledge level of those that have used it and say it's good.

The benchmark for jewelling is Menzerna SF4500 and I'd throw Sonax Nano Polish in there too as well as Rupes White Diamond Ultra Fine Polish and Optimum Finish. Get any one of these and try again.

I wouldn't steer you wrong. The Flex PE14 is the first rotary buffer I reach for when I go to buff something out for all kinds of reasons.
Last Thursday night, I had 7 Flex PE14 Rotary Buffers out and being used including my personal #0002 unit. While everyone was buffing on the Impala I wanted to get started on the 1965 Ford Truck as we had to get both rigs done in one night.
Since all the Flex PE14's were in use, I didn't have one to use so I grabbed the DeWALT 849X and starting chopping off oxidation on the Ford. The DeWALT got so hot it damn near would burn your hand if you tried to touch or hold the body, (center section), of the tool. You could only hold it at the head and the handle.
I was going to check the temperature and take a picture but didn't. I will next time. Just throwing that out there because once in a while someone will post about how the Flex PE14 gets hot AND IT DOES but so do all other rotary buffers when you're doing hard buffing and that's what I was doing.
The difference between the Flex PE14 and all the rest is if it gets TOO hot it shuts itself down so no harm takes place. The rest just keep operating, or keep harming however you want to think of it.

Good idea except we're always churning out more projects here on this forum PLUS I use these in my detailing boot camp classes as well as our boat detailing classes.

You'll never look back. It's really nice to use the Flex PE14 with Velocity Channel playing in the background and you can actually hear it. Or once in a while I bring out my Bose Docking Station and play some tunes off the iPhone.
