Re: How To Use The Flex 3401
I <3 my Flex. Can AG make a bumper sticker for me?
Re: How To Use The Flex 3401
Thanks Mike, for helping us all understand that MF pads can indeed be used on the 3401. The timing was too perfect, ya'know?
Re: How To Use The Flex 3401
Real nice work in there . Congrats Mike .
Re: How To Use The Flex 3401
do you have to use mf pad specific compounds and polishes or can you use the wolfgang tsr and finishing glaze with them?
Re: How To Use The Flex 3401
If you are using the same mf compound/polish pad and the same Opt compound and final polish, how much faster do you think a Flex 3401 would have the same result on this car compare to a GG6"?
$330 vs $130

The Griots is a very capable machine. If money is an issue go with the Griots at a big cost savings. I have both the Flex 3401 and the Griots 6". With the Griots you get a lifetime warranty.

The only thing is when doing correction work you'll find yourself using a little muscle to control the polisher as you work a section.

I had Dave bring the truck over yesterday so I could get an "after" picture of his chrome wheel after doing the IronX video and even though I only buffed out the hood and the bug defector, he was thrilled.

What I've experienced is any quality product with good lubricity for a long buffing cycle with a foam pad works well with a microfiber pad. The shorter the buffing cycle or play time a product has with foam the less it will have with microfiber and the polisher won't glide over the surface smoothly.

Much faster plus you can tackle a larger section at one time. That's a HUGE hood and I knocked out 1/4 of it in a single buffing cycle. With any of the DA Polishers, PC, Megs or Griot's, I would have had to work only half the size seen in the picture to get the same results. I guess that means twice as fast?

Re: How To Use The Flex 3401
Do you suggest 5" pads or 6.5 with the flex? And which backing plate. Thanks
