I have been also looking at that model, but it appears to have a "special pad mount" design according to Flex literature. Here's what the backing plate looks like BP-M D150 XFE/XCE - Special velcro...
I had similar questions. When I read Mike Phillips' book Mike Phillips' The Complete Guide to a Show Car Shine E-book - Download, he commented that the design of the pad is the least of one's...
If you need a 3" backing plate for the PC, they are available. I just purchased a Lake Coutry 3" plate last week from a large online seller. AGO has them here Porter Cable 7424 Backing Plates-...
Good luck with getting it fixed. Even when they service it, make sure they don't just routinely run it through the scrub and swirl tunnel before delivering it back to you. I recently asked my...
Well I tried a test spot with D166 since that's what I had, and voila! I wound up using a 4" LC orange CCS pad on a Flex 3401. Two sets of 6 section passes each at speed 4, and it looks about 95%...
Mike's book has become my go to book for quite awhile and I still get use out of it after several years. I made the mistake of ordering the i-Book when he first published it, but I've since moved to...
That's kind of how the 303 AP looks that I need to remove and try something else. BTW saw your location....... "Rochester NY" was my home town many years ago (Webster). I hear the bay and lake are...
It isn't matte, rather smooth and satin, but no substantial gloss, so I'm thinking about doing a very small test spot. Unfortunately there isn't an inconspicuous place since they're at eye level.
Thanks much for the suggestions. On mine, the black extends beneath the rubber trim adjacent to the panels so I think it would be difficult for me to do a clean edged job if I were to try...
I recently polished a 2007 Tundra with Meguiars D166. Now that the truck is so shiny, the faded black panels (decals ?) between the cab windows are really an eyesore. I tried some 303 Aerospace...
So much looking forward to see thee pics and lessons taught. Have fun. Looks like many different challenges.....no where else to get a free education like here. Many thanks in advance.
After reading the initial product review by Mike Phillips and so many subsequent positive reviews, I simply needed to try Meguiars D166 for my self. I was absolutely awestruck at how fast and...
I have a driveway that is constructed with pavers. I'd like to clean the tires on my two vehicles and apply Tuf Shine tire coating. I know that it will take several cleanings and am concerned...
After downsizing and relocating I finally got around to emptying the last couple of moving boxes only to find this! An un-opened gallon of D114 and D115 each purchased back in 2014. Does anyone...
I built this one after reading this thread. It shows every imperfection very easily, even in my charcoal silver paint.

Great job! I'm impressed that it only took 3.5 hrs.......those trucks have a LOT of surface area. I'm curious on your thoughts about the bug remover combo that you used as it looks like it did a...
