    what to use with my new flex3401

    Hey guys i just recently purchased a flex 3401, its the first da I have ever used/owned. I have a good amount of the LC Hydro Tech pads, orange, blue n red, bout 12 of each. I have optimum spray polish the I bought along with it.

    Im getting ready to detail a 1999 f350. Its not in that bad shape, its got ur typical swirls in it. What else should I use in conjunction with the optimum spray polish or will it give me really good results alone.

    Pick up some tangerine hydros, they are very versitile. The blue are good but wont last long. red is pretty much just for lsp's.

    You should have pretty decent results with the blue pads and polish that you have though.

    You can start with the orange pads. Do a test spot. It should remove majority or all of the swirls. If it doesn't, you either need to do more passes or a more aggressive pad/polish combo.

    You'll learn that it's all just a game of mix and match. Every paint is different and different pads/polishes can be used. No one way of doing it.
