Thanks for the reply Mike, I just think my expectations of this tool were unrealistic. The first couple passes I learned that holding it by the battery would yield better balance and resit stalling,...
My Rupes 15 MKII finally gave out on me, so I ended up getting the Cordless Flex version of it. Is there anywhere to make it more powerful? Feels so underwhelming, stalls more, edges on the MKII were...
Got the tool repaired a few weeks ago Original Power Tool Co. Ltd. (Original Power Tool Co. Ltd.) They're one of three Flex repair centers in Ontario (Authorized Warranty Service Centers - Flex North...
That's possible too, I store it in a official flex bag and there does seem to be a slight clearance issue. The Rupes bag I use has ample clearance I should probably store them both together once I...
I always mention to any new client that this is a premium service, high end tools, products that last years not days, serious attention to detail, etc. What someone may do for free I have to charge...
They're stiff to the point that the outer rim of the pad doesn't seem to be touching the surface of the paint(almost like they don't want to contour the panel) and if I dare go near a slight curve...
Hey Richy, these low pros use a different foam than what you're used to with the older style Buff and Shines. The ones I used on my Flex are superb in every way possible. These ones on the other hand...
I love buff and shine, really high quality durable pads that finish well, I have almost every single pad they sell for the Flex and I've not encountered a single issue.
I used everything from Menz, Scholls, CarPro... Compounds were worse than polishes I ended up using the Flex VRG on speed 2, anymore and the polish would start to stick. Pretty much took me a decade...
I'm having a repeat customer bring back his fiberglass Vette which had white paint for a one-step maintenance detail. The last time I worked on it the results are great but was a massive pain because...
Dylan, I've been using the 21 on flat or slightly curved panels and I have the Flex setup for deep curves. I use speed 3-4, sometimes 5 but I find with 5 I get a lot of dusting and the polishing oils...
Yeah I know Rupes' stance on it and I think it's silly. I've been using the Flex for 5 years now and thought giving the Mark II 21 a try. So far, I'm not really impressed. The Flex corrects better...
I used a EZUP Swift 12x12 canopy I got from Amazon. Took a few minutes to setup, almost fit a Camaro completely under one. You'll have to get someone to help you open it.
Thanks for the reply, I went there today and can confirm that it was damage from pollen, actually some of them were white, slightly abrasive until you squish them. Using a small LED flash light, I...
Had a longtime client of mine finally pick up a polisher and try to do his own car, he was pretty adamant about it too. I donated my old DA, some pads, showed him a dozen techniques(came with me on...
Really appreciate the replies. I had a feeling the 2500 one would give me issues with taking photos. Yeah a lot of my work is mobile, don't mind lugging stuff around though. Do you think the dual one...
