I use it on tall vehicles. I'm 6'2" tall so my former camaro wasn't an issue. If you feel brave, test it with another stool, box, anything to get you up about 6-8 inches off the ground. Even a couple 2x10's stacked safely.

 

There's always the harness option...ya know. Mission impossible 3 style.... Hover over the car and polish away lol.

I'm 5-9 so that's the problem,,,,,,,, maybe Adam can make me 6-2,,,, lol,,,,,I may have to wait on a special for that one !!!!

Hey guys. I was wondering why some pople would use the porter cable over the flex. I've seen some threads where people have both the porter cable and the flex and they choose to use the porter cable instead.

 

Some pople would say something like "I did a pass with the porter cable then decided to break out the flex."

Something like that.

 

My question is why would you use the porter cable if you have the flex? Is'nt the flex a better machine. More power, better results, faster polishing??? So in what instance would the porter cable be beneficial over the flex? Or is it just you felt like using the PC over the flex.

The pc can be used in tighter spots.

Got mine at Lowes. Black Friday sale $17. May be around 35-45 in store now.

 

Great tool to have if you detail.

Do you think a 1.5 foot stool would allow you to lean across the hood of a camaro without the feel of falling across the hood. I can find out tomorrow by using a test stool but I was just asking ??

Go-go gadget arms!

 

I use a Werner.

Thanks I will order one and give it a try

I don't recommend using the flex with one hand. It could get away from you and possibly damage the car or something else. Just my .02 If YOUR satisfied and it's good enough for you that's all that matters.

I don't want to use one hand but I can't figure out how to polish that area

I don't know if this is a no no but I had to hold the flex with one hand to reach the center of the hood at the top by windshield. Please let me know.

I did the hood all three steps and I actually had to look real hard to find any type of swirl. I am very satisfied. I could go over it again to get it perfect however why eat up my clear coat when it looks absolutely great to me.

I just called Ashley,,, she said 5:1 means 5 parts water and 1 part active ingredient Actually I don't think it is right. From the beginning outboard motor oil says 50:1. That means 50 gas and 1 part oil.

If you right that means the special purpose cleaner mixed 5:1 means 5 parts cleaner and one part water. Am I correct ??

I agree ,,,,,,, Thanks very much

I have searched the web for the last hour and read that the lowest number was the active ingredient ,,,,,However I found two other references that claim just the opposite !!!!!! That's when I posted,, lol. I know that a 50:1 mix in a outboard is 50 parts gas and 1part oil. But I think a mix and a dilution is different.

To dilute all purpose cleaner does 5:1 mean five parts cleaner or 5 parts water. Sorry guys but I went to a small university !!!!!!!

I am about as crazy as you are. Got mine last week and tried it today. I just had to give it a try. Had just a short time so I did half the hood on my camero. I started out with the orange pad, used approx 3 pounds pressure then went to the fine polish. The entire ordeal lasted maybe 8 minutes. I removed 50 percent of the swirls not using the green pad. I had to just get a feel of the machine. I TRULEY cannot believe someone can burn through the clear unless you really abuse the process. Don't worry you won't. If you hold a valid drivers license and did not cheat on the test you will have no problems.

The machine is very smooth and has little vibration. You can actually feel the quality,,,,, I am very impresses. I will start over in the morning until finished. ,,,,,,, Wayne

Thanks,,,,, I'm going back to see the video again

Try NEVER DULL. ,,,,,,,maybe Adams has something better

Hello,,,, can any of you tell me how much pressure to put on the flex machine ? Maybe pressure in pounds or any other way to explain it to a dummy. I saw the porter cable video watching the disc turn slowly however the flex is different.

Thanks Wayne

Welcome.

I'm from Baton Rouge. We're down here visiting right now. My sister is out in carencro, will be out there too.

What are you polishing on?

2 or 3 times a week is not excessive use if that's what you're asking. Just keep in mind the difference between DS and WW and use the right tool for the job considering how dirty your car is.

Got it,,,,,,, I understand,,,, if the car is clean it's no problem 2or3 times a week. Thank you, I was afraid that it might build up if used to often an cause a problem.

Yes. It doesn't take much more than a mist. If you soak it like you might with WW, it won't buff off cleanly and smear.

I was thinking about using the fine mist but how about 2or3 times a week ??

Can you use to much detail spray ?

I know someone that put coffee beans in a bag/ cup and left it in there. No more smoke smell, also leaves a nice scent

I much prefer the coffee beans in my car if it smells smoke,,,,, whether it works or not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you if you got the new detail sprayer not in your order? (Newbie here) lol

My spray bottle will not spray a mist. It only sprays a stream.

Anyone else found this problem ??

Never heard of this solution, simple and inexpensive. Hope it worls.

 

If not, an ionizer/ozonator will do it.

My dealership uses embalming fluid. I'm serious !!!!!!!

I just ordered wednesday I called y'all and was told I would get the new stuff

I hope I get the new spray then I can test the difference. My friend and I ordered 2 gallons of the old stuff today

My buddy and I just ordered the gallon and get one free special for the old stuff !!

Absolutely,,,,,,do you think there is a lot of difference in the old and the new ? I've used the old and thought it was very good.
