Let me say, "wow." It is a sweet machine! Like sweet. Very smooth. Almost as smooth as my PE, and no I'm not kidding! And quiet. I think it wins as the most quiet machine in my arsenal.

The one thing I will have to get used to is....PAD STALL! Switching from the forced drive units, I definitely have to improve on my technique. I was running the XFE around speed 5-6 most of the time with a 6.5" buff and shine lo-pro pad (These are amazing too!!). Plans for the future are to switch to a 5" backing plate, which should help.

This is my dedicated "polisher," and "soft paint specialist" tool. I did easily cut some 3000 scratches with an orange hybrid pad and some M100 though, just to see what it would do! And suprisingly, the orange hybrid did rather well on the free floater!

All in all, I think this polisher will have some serious hours on it, as it is incredibly smooth, VERY quiet and feels amazing in your hands (Go flex!)

Totally recommend!
