Polish Angel Escalate/Viking Coat combo

[2011 302]

Gonna try the escalate and the coating Tommorow on a ford raptor.This will be the 2nd time using this line.

What machine and pads,i just picked up escalate awhile ago before I heard of any issues with the flex,i also have a rupes mini put not a great selection if 3 pads,i do have the one 4" yellow (fine) that came with it is that similar to the white hybrid?

I will dial in a process as far as pads machine and speed setting.I used the coating on my personal car only.If it can hold up for 4 to 6 months I will be happy,because I didn't even break a sweat applying 2 coats.Sorry to say I'm a tunnel wash guy.17.00 a little marring and done in 10 minutes.I do this all week for a living and the last thing I want to do on a Sunday morning is wash a car.

I have a Flex and 7424. Should I use the 7424?

Just did the Viking Coat and Escalate on my car using a 7424 with no issues. I did buy the Polish Angel pads as well. Stuff went on fantastic definitely will do my other personal vehicle.

I did a ford raptor today full detail.My intial plan was to try the escalate and coating.I polished the whole left side,then pulled it out of the sun to see if this is something unique about this product.Saw no difference and went back to 205 then Gyeon can coat.This maybe a product line for boutique polishes and etc.The coating application they are dead on with that as far as application and removal.The end of result is that it's a product to be used on a new car.so all in all its not a toss in the garbage product.I just don't think it warrants the high price.

You could try it with the flex. I am far from an expert/pro but I couldn't make the Flex work with the Escalate. I think I wasted more product trying different pad/speed/pressure combos with the Flex than I used to actually polish the truck with the Rupes Mini. Only way to know for sure how it'll work for you is try it. I would go for a polishing or finishing pad and a slow speed setting and see how that works. If you can run the same pads on your PC, you could just swap them between machines and compare the results.

I think your better off with a da.The flex will make that product flash real quick.
