    Re: Advise for flex noob

    I was planning on the Flex but I think will start instead with the GG6 for now til I get a feeling for those DAs, and also since they have those smaller backing plates.

    Re: Advise for flex noob

    Anybody can recommend a 'foam gun' that's run by waterpressure only? I see a lot of different opinions... the water pressure in my house is very good.

    Re: Advise for flex noob

    thanks for your thoughts. I doesnt come with a backing plate though..
    Also keep in mind I don't need lots of 'cutting' power as it would be used to maintain a new paint.

    tnx buddy!

    PS: Ford Focus RS, huh...how do you like it? heard mostly positive. PM if you want to get into some car talk (since its offtopic). ;)
  23. Re: Brand New car, to use sealant or not sealant

    yeah agree, dumb statement... a clear coat is a sort of 'paint' so how could buffing with a sealant remove that coat... unless you use sandpaper for the buffing job (DO NOT TRY AT HOME KIDS! hehe). ;)
  24. Re: Brand New car, to use sealant or not sealant

    Yeah...but waxing is also not removing anything...and people us a DA for it... just my .02 cents...since I have no clue (YET!) how effective a flex or such is. ;)

    edit: is it recommend to acutally...
  25. Re: Brand New car, to use sealant or not sealant

    ok thanks for the advice... so in general when applying sealant, wax.. speed rather slow, yeah? :)
