Thanks for the responses. Sounds like you need to develop the proper technique to ensure you don't waste clear coat when using the flex due to its added ability to generate friction/heat. But I'm trying to establish if one was going to own only one machine, could the flex be used as for both "casual" polishing (one or twice a year) and "serious paint correction" when needed.

Will flex (if used correctly) take out any more or any less clear coat than the porter cable (if used correctly)?

Hmmm...may have to speak to Adams about doing a return. Videos made it look easy and pretty safe. Like to give it a try but don't want to use it and then return it. Thanks for the advice Redex.

Hey guys. I bought the flex kit about a month ago. Having doubts about if I purchased the correct machine. I haven't used it yet (too cold up here in Toronto) but I'm have some self doubt as well. I decided to get the flex because I wanted one machine and I figured I could handle the flex based on the adams videos. Junkman scares me when he say the flex will hurt your paint if you're a novice. I'm a novice but I figure following the right steps will allow me to learn and do a good job without wrecking my paint. Any specific tips for using the flex so that that I don't get myself in trouble. Also, I plan on using it on two vehicles which are in pretty good shape 1) 2007 GMC Acadia (charcoal) 2) 2011 Hydundia Gen Coupe (white). I plan using the flex next weekend. Can I use it once or twice a year on each car to keep them looking sharp or is that to often for machine polishing.
