The flex 3" is an animal and built stout like a 3401.
I own an Adams SK mini and very much like it.
I've also heard good things about the Rupes LHR75E
I too am an IGL installer! Premier is great!
I would not consider is a true coating, however. More along the lines of a coating topper such as C2V3. The packaging says "Polysilixane" sealant.

I'm not an electrician, but I know the GFCI is 15A, however, the breaker in the box is 20A. Never "tripped" either of them.
And I do run a cannon- I have a couple cheap amazon specials with 1.1mm...
I own the AR 630TSS Hot and am VERY happy with it! I picked up a 50' hose, quick disconnects, a different spray head and stainless steel swivel and the setup works fantastic! I have no problems...
Flex customer service is second to none IME. You can read about my expirience here:

I think you'll be very happy! My PE-14 sees pads ranging from 2" all the way up to 8" (on rare occasions), and hasn't missed a beat in the 3 years I've owned it!
I'm sure the Rupes polisher is...
Metro air force master blaster for me! I have a long vacuum style hose on mine and I really can't notice any decrease in CFM.
Autofiber dreadnought towels are excellent too if towels are your...
I've had experience with both hybrid pads and Uro-tecs.

Opinions will be all over the map.
I personally bought one 2 years ago (or whenever they first came out) and have used it quite extensively. I love mine.
Look at it as another tool in your...
Another thing you could try is using a slightly thicker pad with it, like a buff and shine URO-tec (LOVE these pads). I use them on my XFE-7-150 with 5" BP frequently.
My experience is contrary...
Thanks Todd for your help!
I'm eyeing the 15mk3!
Team "Flupes" for me :laughing:. Or really whatever fits the bill and whatever I enjoy using!
Currently have:

Hey guys,
Im sure many of you are aware that Rupes announced the coming of the mk3 long thrown polishers this week at SEMA!
Anybody going shopping when they're released?
I have 2 mk2 21mm...
Oooh! Pick me!
I'd love to write a review! Been looking into grabbing a metrovac blower for some time now- this could be the ticket!
I'm a long time rotary guy and really like the 21mk2 and the flex XFE-7-150 to supplement it.
Many times, I'll reach for my 21 first as it knocks the defects out very quickly!
I have a Mille...
To the OP, congrats on your new flex!
I had a minor issue with my first one (see this thread: https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/flex-polishers/116913-little-brag-flex.html?highlight=) and Flex...
Maroon works incredible for AIO products although I've not used the CG stuff. It has just enough cut to level moderate defects and can still finish down very well on all but super soft paints. It's...
I run my 21mk2 with a washer mod and a 5" backing plate.
I also LOVE the performance and longevity of the buff and shine URO TEC pad line. The maroon is my most used and most versatile pad in my...
My PE14 is one of my favorite tools in the arsenal.
IMO, Rotary is the fastest DEEPEST defect removal especially with a wool pad. I think a long throw (21mk2) comes close speedwise on large flat...
Agreed, Mille is verrrry smooth.
Just starting out with a long throw, there will be a little bit more of a learning curve to keep the pad spinning in curves and convex areas, but once you get the hang of it, its really easy to...
If you're set on a forced rotation, I've had both the mille and 3401. Here's some thoughts.
Personally, I like the ergonomics of the flex tools a little more than rupes. The front handle on the...
Welcome!
I'm a Kalamazoo man myself!
I'm sure you guys know this, but Rupes offers $85 flat rate repairs the covers shipping both ways on their tools.
I sent my 21mk2 in last week after it just died in the middle of a job. They ended...
My vote:
21mk2 with 5" BP and washer mod. It's an animal, and you'll rarely need anything past speed 4-4.5.
And if you can afford it, consider adding a mini to the mix as well with a 3" BP for...
