hawaiianstyle Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 My trial run with the Flex went well, and the Adam's pads worked well! Did you change your method with the flex from the PC? pressure, time in an area, speed,etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman2008 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I use the same exact amout of pressure with every polisher I use. The key is, I can apply more pressure with a more powerful machine if I need more cut. Of course, inexperience will lead you directly to a paint shop if you do this wrong.

Chris@Adams Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Did you change your method with the flex from the PC? pressure, time in an area, speed,etc. I did more polishing than correcting, when I find some swirl city paint I can tell you more.I do think that it will take less pressure and little more moving than the PC.

JJ1o87 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Did you change your method with the flex from the PC? pressure, time in an area, speed,etc. I just received my Flex, but haven't tried it yet. From what a few people have told me, you have to use a little more product and less pressure. The thing is, with forced rotation, you can't hold the machine in one spot like you can with a PC. So basically, keep her moving, and experiment on your technique! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@Adams Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 How is the 3401VRG going? Did it work well with Adams Pads? My trial run with the Flex went well, and the Adam's pads worked well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight1700 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I have used both the Flex rotary AND the Flex DA. I like both of them. But as said before, you need to be carefull with the rotary! With the right compounds and pads, I've gotten the same, and in many cases, better result using just the DA. ESPECIALLY on dark vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ryan Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I haven't used the flex rotary. I have read some folks have a hard time keeping them from walking because they are so light weight. But like I said, I haven't had my hands on the rotary, just the 3401. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
