My experience and feedback with working with gloss vinyl such as 3M 1080P or Avery's wraps

Night and day difference. Solid work, something I'll definitely use.

I'll share a couple of options that I use and have had great experiences with.

CarPro DLUX
The best of the lot durability is solid, finish is nice; A bit on the expensive side. Per the packaging...

As others mentioned, you cannot go wrong with Souveran. The shine, ease of use and finish is like no other but the durability leaves a lot to be desired. From my experience of using it over the year...

I find this interesting because according to your post you felt your section after claying it and made sure it was smooth.

As you said, I too would lean towards hitting the car with some Iron X,...

With the number of pads I have, over the years a few of them have delaminated.
I just cut them up into 4s or 6s depending on the size and used them much like hand applicators.

Well said!

I will give you my most honest, down to earth response regarding the Flex vs Rupes question. Please understand that I don't intend on brand bashing here so I'll word it accordingly; Everything is...

Menzerna has an all in one now. Cut polish and wax. I haven't used it.
But for a solid cutting 1-step with good ability, I'd go for anything Menzerna Medium Cut line.

Just finished doing a full tear down and build from scratch in my new home.
When I say tear down, I mean full tear down, went from a 2 door, 2 car garage to a single, custom, large door while...

Washed, clayed stripped of any previous waxes and sealants and dried.

Since you are using the Speedy Prep Towel vs the Griot's Sponge I would expect the sponge to work better.
Having used the Nanoskin Speedy Prep Towel as well as the Nanoskin Speedy Prep Sponge, I...

Notes on warranty on this unit anyone?

Amazing looking unit; What is the warranty on this unit?

Go with the tried, true and tested 3401 - You won't be disappointed.
I've put literally 100s of hours into this polisher and it has yet to let me down.
I considered picking up a second one but...

Once the time comes, you won't be disappointed with the 3401. I've got 100s of hours of runtime on my 3401 - Never disappoints.

Received and replied to, thank you!

Has anyone seen any of the Flex PE14-2-150 kits go on sale?
Or be applicable towards the sale? I just tried w/ the 25% off; Didn't work.
Although, the discount does work towards the 3401 kit....

Nope, not yet. I'll give it another day or so.

Thanks, I just received confirmation from her as well.
Appreciate your prompt response :)

Unfortunately, it seems like they ended it early as well - Wanted to grab a $500 one.

Meghan, please confirm whether a gift certificate and discount code be applied to an order?
Like can I buy a polisher, use my gift certificate towards it as well as a discount code (if applicable to...

A good stripping wash or shampoo much like Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss
Something like a wax/sealant prep product prior to waxing and sealing like Griot's Garage Paint Prep or Pre Wax Cleanser

Todd and Dylan.

Flex 3401 user chiming in with interest in the Rupes MII system.
A lot of emphasis seems to be made on priming the pad with 3-5 drops of compound.
I have grown fond of using my...

I would not say Iron X is a substitute for clay but an addition to a thorough decontamination. Yes, everything you need for a proper decontamination, preparation and finish is available at AG.

Having taken delivery of 3 brand new cars myself as well as working on my clients car directly from the dealerships here is what I would recommend

Wash > Iron X > Clay > Polish > IPA Bath >...
