very nice! how would u compare the break down of polishes compared to a pc...did u notice urself saving a boat load time during each panel? have u used a rotary..any comparison??

haha im so interested in this thing...but at the same time, i think im gonna just jump to a metabo...but that flex sure seems like a good tool nevertheless

The PC doesn't even come close to the Flex. It breaks down the polish a lot quicker, and yes it saves time. I've got a HF rotary that I've used a few times on scrap panels, but not enough to put it on clients' cars. I'm looking to get 6' bp for the rotary and do some more practicing. The FLEX is a most IMO for a detailer.

Excellent results. You probably had the worse case possible to work with there.......a damaged, black, Vette!

You sure did show what the FLEX can do.
Tell them how long it took and you just started with it.

about 4 hours for exterior work..

shadybreal,

Great job. I too like WMF and often top it with a paste carnauba, but the Collinite looks great....wet and rich.

Question: you mention getting a 5.5" BP for the Flex...where can you order the 5.5" BP?

If Flex can supply that and a 3.5" for small spots...all bases will be covered.

Shady nice job on that vette. I too just got my Flex.

Waxmax from conversation with the master distributor of Flex this week they only had very few (like maybe 3 left now) 5.5" backplates left. They were a temporary fix for the red velcro ones. He said they have a new one that is coming and is supposed to have a more flexible material. Smaller than 6" but bigger than 5.5".

Russecu,

Thanks for the info. You mention the 5.5" were a"temporary fix" for the 6"?? Can you explain. Is it just the more flexible material?

I am not sure why they used the 5.5". I think the main difference was the glue holding the velcro on the backing plate. People were having some problem with the velcro coming off the backing plate which was the red velcro. The one with the flexible material is awaiting arrival to US. Not too sure on how flexible or specifics on it. Again this is what I was told. We shall see. I do have the 5.5" ordered and will more than likely try to get the new backing plate when I arrives.
