I will definitely consider doing that.

A local store started carrying DIY Detail and was doing 15% off so I swung by to pick some items up (13.56 for the RW and 15.26 for incredible suds), along with Koch Chemie Motorplast, a CarPro Swipe applicator to dedicate to Griot's ceramic tire dressing and another EGO turbo clip (the first one is somewhere in the garage).

They had gallons of ONR that were missing labels for $25. Pretty sure that wasn't the new ONR as they seem to have dropped carrying Optimum from the store so I passed.

So wanted the Flex PXE 80 flex shaft but $299 seemed straight stupid since I paid $360 for the machine.

I know there are similar products but they are designed to hook up to a larger standard rotary polisher.

I’m my looking I came across Coatic. They make adapters that came with the flex shaft to fit The PXE and Ibrid.



Kit was 71 euros. Came with both adapters for both machines







While there why not get stupid and buy everything right? Time to pimp my PXE.



Needed a 2” plate so why not add a 1” and 3” all in stainless. Vortex design is suppose to add more cooling.



A 70mm aluminum extension bar



A titanium rotary adapter pretty sure flex came with one but…. Common titanium….



Titanium adapter for cone pads.

A little love for the c beast.






From Coatic:

“The worlds first carbon fibre backing plate.

Vortex cooling technology provides an additional heat dissipation function, as well as upgraded performance, balance and precision.

Precision designed, engineered and manufactured in house using premium grade TorayCa Carbon Fibre providing up to 40% less heat conductivity compared to aluminium while our vortex cooling ducts will allow heat to dissipate safely out of the machine.”

All in all this cost me $300 all in including shipping from the UK. It was 250£ and last time I ordered from UK that would have been $200. Dolarchas gotten weaker and I didn’t check.

Still for the price of Flex’s PXE flex shaft I got the shaft, titanium and aluminum extension, 4 high end backing plates. Did I need all this…. No…. Am i excited for it…. Yup…

And the Flex is Propitiatory and only will fit there buffing bits. I did the same rodeo as you! But as for the snake I went this route.Amazon.com
I have a cordless Dremel and it fits in my pocket. There backing pads are legit. I love my 2"Coatic

I bought one of these myself tonight. I took off the stock backing plate and it looks like the Flex mini backing plate will be a direct fit. I'm going to order one and see if it does actually fit once I get back from vacation in about two weeks.

Got my mini backing plate in today and it is indeed a direct fit

I bought this Ridgid vacuum for $60 bucks. It’s practically new + it came with 2pk of vacuum bags.

If it does, I see a visit to the ER in your future.

My new JIS screwdriver bits arrived. Ordered last night on Amazon, arrived this afternoon. I'd never heard of JIS till I was watching a car show the other day, they were restoring a 90s Supra, and the mechanic said working on Japanese cars requires JIS screwdrivers. They look the same as Phillips, but they're not. JIS fit both Phillips and JIS screws, but Phillips don't fit JIS properly, making it easy to strip them. I always wondered why my screwdrivers didn't quite fit the FJ, I just thought they were worn out. Now I don't know if this applies to all Japanese cars, and bikes, or just the ones manufactured in Japan, but you can tell by the little dot in the bottom of the JIS screws.
