Default First action with the Flex.

It's friggin awesome. I just don't know how there could be a better machine out there.

The comparrison I immediately thought of was this...

Flex: 6.5" Yellow Lake County pad, and Menz IP

PC: 4" Yellow Edge pad and Menz Power Gloss

They gave me about equal paint correction ability. Obviously any time you can get away with softer pads, no compound, and one heck of a lot less vibration... It's a good thing for me.

Just an awesome machine.

That's nice, you can see your fluorescent lights get more defined after each polishing step. Seems like there was some nasty haziness on the flat part of that bumper.

I used a Green LC pad with IP on about 3 - 3.5, then a White LC pad with 085rd on the same speed.
