Are you driving or flying?

Thanks Mike - terrific post!

As a product guy myself, I'm guessing they faced tradeoffs in cost, effectiveness or both. At the end of the day, the Flex is a machine for a specific purpose. I've really liked mine. My PC is...

I use my 3" RO

Seems like you'd have trouble with a medium abrasive polish and such a light pad as the white. IMHO, either of these with an orange pad, and SSR1 with the white if you're going for a really fine...

The Miata looks nice! What kind of machine are you using?

I have a 6" orange LC pad and a Griot's 3" orange in my hand, and the LC feels firmer and less soft. I'd say it has more cut. This would be consistent with my experience with the 6" Griot's pads as...

The 6" counterweight is mainly required for heavier pads - there is a range, but I'm sitting in the passenger seat on the way to SC, so I don't have it handy. The only 6" polishing pad that is OK...

OK - so I've spent time with my supplier (I'm taking ownership of GlossHaus, and the 7424XP is part of our kit), Porter Cable Customer Care, and the local DeWalt Service Center. The first two were...

Just got my 7424XP which came with a 5" counterweight installed and a 6" counterweight in the box.

The 5" weight comes out easily enough, but there is a small plastic/hard rubber "nub" that is...
