Why XFE7-15 ?

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

I just bought the Flex XFE7-15 and it is nicely made, smooth, fairly light and works well. It is less fatiguing than my trusty but tired Porter Cable 7424XP which works fine but is hotter and louder. I am an amateur and have never used the Flex 3401 so I can not say how that compares. My only issue is the 6.5 pads are large for my cars. If I had a huge SUV they would be nice but they are big for a smaller car. I ended up using my old Griot’s Garage 3″ more than I wanted. Actually I think that my next machine or Flex adapter is for one with a 5" backing plate. I think that is a sweet spot for mid to small size cars. I also think it isn't the polisher as much as knowledge of what to use, technique, and experience. A professional will get better results with entry level tools than a amateur with the top of the line polisher. The Flex XFE7-15 is top of the line to me but my results are usually limited by my time and technique anyway. i just have one less excuse. haha

Welcome to AutoGeekOnline! Congrats on picking up the new machine.

I agree. The larger 6.5" pads are a bit much when working on cars. I am eagerly awaiting a smaller plate so we can use 5.5" pads. I think this will really transform this machine.

Time to get out there and start working on your skills!

Yes, I will end up with one down the road. I don't have a PE 14 either & want one of those as well. I'm hoping when the XCE comes out,AG has a 3 piece kit with them all in it. It would be pricey but they are worth it.

That would be great. After all, they already have the Club FLEX intro kit.

Would be pretty sweet if they did an Ultimate FLEX Club kit with the PE14, XFE, and XCE when its released...

Put them all in a Pelican case and your good to go!

Maybe AG will commission you to start making those to sell. Looks good!
