ATTENTION: FLEX Beast owners (3401)
With detailing season coming up for a lot of us, don’t forget to lubricate the felt ring!!
Mike P has a few articles on this if you are unaware. Just do a quick search.
Also it’s a good time to check the backing plate out. I always suggest having a spare on hand as this IS a wear item. They do indeed lose adhesion strength over time.

Re: ATTENTION: FLEX Beast owners (3401)
it's coming up for me to. Just did one, and will be doing a few more soon enough.
Thanks for the reminder! (Although, I'm kind of in the habit of doing that before every detail I plan on using the 3401). Overkill? hehe.
I do need to get some spare backing plates, though. Before I can't.
In the meantime...I patiently await shipping of my CBEAST.

I already done it...
the next time anyone who does this...announce to your significant other or others that " I will be lubing the beast!!! Be back in a few!!! ". I wonder what they will think. LOL

Good plan!
Speaking if the Beast. Anyone seen a standard backing plate in stock? Ordered one from Autogeek, then it went on back order.
Would like to have a spare

I recently bought the Supa BEAST. Am I correct that there is no felt ring to lube on the Supa? Thanks to you all, I did buy the 6" plate and spares, thanks. Right now the stock 5" plate is not in stock at AG.

Yup, oil mine probably too much. At least every 3-4 uses

Correct there is no felt ring on the XCE polishers like there is on the 3401.
