Friends, you have made it clear, and there is no confusion on your feedback. You want another option for polishing, and we are responding to your request.
We looked at the options, and considered the following:
Effectiveness/ correcting ability Country of origin Ease of use Durability/ fail rate
In addition to the unit made in the USA, the Cyclo, the choice was simple.
When it came to fail rate, durability, and effectiveness, the Flex XC 3401 D/A Polisher was the unit to choose. The company has Chinese investors, which scared me silly, but the parts and manufacturing are 100% German, and the Germans do a first class job at making an exceptional tool.
The second option would have been the Rupes, however, the fail rate on the unit is much higher than the others. From what we understand, some or much of the parts come from, 'The Orient."
I'd love to have a polisher in the sub-$200 level, however without going to China, that's unrealistic. Stay tuned, maybe one day, that option will be available!
Welcome back Flex, and we never stopped selling the pads. Hint: on any clear coat finishes, two pads will do the trick: Orange Microfiber, and White Foam.....Paint Correcting, Paint Finishing Polishes.
Thanks and your feedback, as always, is anticipated.
Note: The first 25 Flex Polishers we sell will include a $50 Flex Carry Bag, FREE!
