Lake country hybrids on the Flex 3401

Blue wool for heavy compounding
Orange foam for light compounding
White or black for polishing depending on the paint

Hand foam applicator for waxes

Yep. Also used the Hybrid line with my Flex PE14.

I couple these with Menzerna polishes.

Buff and Shine, LC, Rupes, Griots. All depends on the machine and the job at hand. Always flat pads.

TufBuf Black Wool, 6" on FLEX 3401

Cut faster and finish better than any MF, Foam or Wool pad that I have tried.


AutoGeek...start carrying these.

I think the first question before any recommendation would be what year and make of vehicle is it and what's the condition of the paint?

Vette's are tough paints, Hondas and Subaru's soft, Audi responds best to MicroFiber, etc......

Also, what products are you looking to use (can be vehicle dependent too)

I got some HD pads(relabeled B&S) as well as Griots B.O.S.S. pads

TufBuff are great pads with the 3401, however, I have found the polish angel lambswool pads to cut better.
