I have both Flex cordless machines on preorder and hope the pads will be available soon.
I tested a 5.5" wool pad last night on the FLEX Cordless, I liked the size. Have not made up my mind on the pile length as of yet.

I'm kind of surprised they do that already have them. You figure enough detailers work on repaints where there are small sections to cut out sanding marks.

There's small lambswool pads, the kind that are soft and fuzzy. I'm talking about a "real" buffing pad.

Look at the angle and hand position with the new cordless buffer no more worries of the cord getting in the way and falling on the paint, great article Mike

Thank you for the update on the smaller buffer pads, hopefully they will be able to send the longer length pile soon.

Mike what backing plate are you using with the smaller buffing pad on the cordless Flex rotary?

It's a METRIC 4" or 5" - I'd have to find my old fashioned ruler and measure.
Being one of the few guys that were given the first cordless polishers at SEMA last year, I think this is why my FLEX Cordless is metric and not U.S. Standard. They just didn't have many to bring to the U.S. that early in the production of the new tools.
