Just so that everybody knows, the Forensic Detailing Channel on Youtube just released a video on the newly released Flex PXE80 cordless mini polisher. He does a pretty thorough review, going through...
When I was in Munich a long time ago (on company business), we ended up talking to our hosts about Oktoberfest. The ladies/women/girls who serve the beer during Oktoberfest are real professionsals....
The 5” pads were discontinued in late 2015/early 20016. You may have a chance to find some at the vendors who used to sell them, like Autogeek, if they have any old stock left. That would be your...
You can store them anywhere you want, any way you want, as long as they don't get dirt or dust on them (that will ruin your day next time you use them). Putting them into Rubbermade/Sterilite plastic...
In my mind, a definite missed opportunity. I am wondering if Flex is going to be puttting the brushless motors into the corded versions of the 3401, PE14-2, and PE8 when they revise them.
Just as a suggestion: try Flitz's Pre Cleaner for aluminum. I don't know if it is acidic or basic, but it does do a great job on aluminum oxidation, and it is a chemical, not an abrasive. If that...
North American polishers are usually 5/8", European standard is M14 (14mm), The PE14-2 is 5/8" shaft (I own one, and can say that with certainty). When John from Forensics Detailing on Youtube...
So is allowing that people will use whatever tools they feel most comfortable with. So is understanding that your statement opens up a lot of ways of it being interpreted, and drawing some...
So the inference being anybody that buys a Mille, or LHR19 is now automatically goes from being a great detailer to a mediocre detailer, I take it. You know, people like Remy Doyle, Junkman 2000, the...
I felt compelled to comment because the original statement would have lead some people reading the post that all long throw polishers were equally smooth. That is not the case; in the case of long...
It is incorrect to say "...The smoothness and correction ability of a long throw is undeniable.....", because there are other long throw polisher that will not be as smooth as the Rupes polishers....
The Forensic Detailing channel did a very comprehensive head to head (to head if the DAS 6 Pro Plus is included) comparison between the polishers. Brought up a lot of good points about all of the...
The assumption is that the paint will be afterwards be machine polished by the pro, so that the marring left behind by the aggressive clay bar will be eliminated by the machine polishing.
it is impossible to know how much curvature to mold the pad to. as different cars have different curvatures, or, in many cases, different panels on the same car have different curvatures. 7" pads are...
Would you rather Flex released a 3401 replacement that has issues? Flex has shown off XCE Prototypes the last couple of years, so you know they are working on it. Look what happened with the first...
You are correct in the definition of charge cycles. In the context of the cordless polishers though, it is sort of a moot point. Anybody who buys one of these polishers will want to run them until...
Since you have chosen to try and attack me personally, I can state the following: I am 57 years old, so like you, I am over 21. I do own cordless tools, mostly Hitachi and Milwaukee The Hitachi are...
Home users can easily allow a cordless polisher to sit unused for many months during the winter. That may, or may not, shorten the life of the battery pack. A battery pack that may or may not be...
Charge cycles do very much vary, depending on the details of construction, how they are used, how often they are run to 0%, and a number of other, less significant factors. Smartphones are one data...
There is a video on either YouTube or on the Flitz site itself that shows Diamond plate being polished. You can look up the video, but from memory, the idea is to wash the Diamond plate first, and...
Are the two battery packs different sizes? The one near the PE14-2 looks smaller than the one near the XFE7; is it possibly a perspective difference from the camera?
How about Black Widow Detailing/Polishing/Paint Correction. Logo would be pretty easy, the red hourglass on the silhouette of a black spider, or on a black polished out hood/trunk/door, or even the...
That will work, assuming that the polisher holster is sized to fit the new polishers from Flex. The problem with this belt in general is the lack of shoulder straps, and how narrow the belt is,...
