Finally Got it!!

Richy, the strong "pull" others are getting from the machines massive offset on start up is really nothing IMO and a simple adjustment in technique is all that's needed...

Fix: Spread the polish around on the paint with the machine off (most do this anyway). Then start the machine up with it hovering just above the paint (rather then on the panel) for a split second and then set it down....smooth as butter baby!!!

That is an easy fix. Hell, if i can use and like the Flex, a little pull won't bother me, LOL.

I will.

No, Buff Daddy threw me off by not listing on his site. By the time I figured it out, I was already on a different waiting list. I will be trimming up washers though.

And Troy - go big or go home.

You would be stuck with a hand-me-down Flex.

Kevin had a waiting list long before most people even knew what Rupes was....like 6+ months ago!
