0 nhatduongchi Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hi all, Â Is the a diff between the flat orange pad for Flex and the hex orange pad for PC in term of cutting if using with other brand of polisher?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mc2hill Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hi all,  Is the a diff between the flat orange pad for Flex and the hex orange pad for PC in term of cutting if using with other brand of polisher?? Thanks  The cutting of the flat and the hex pads should be very similar. You could use the flat pads on the PC, but the hex pads do not work well on the Flex. The Gen 4 'wavy' pads work fine on both machines. Any PC 'type' polisher (dual action, random orbital) will work with these pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ralfy Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 if i were to wet sand my car with, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000, which machine would safely bring out the gloss? I am going to watch the junkman wet sanding videos tonight when i get home from work but though i would ask and gather some more info, Thanks!

Â You can remove 3000 grit wetsanding marks with a PC with SHR on an orange pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ralfy Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Ok, so if I start at 1500 and work my way to 3000, the pc will buff out the clear? Sorry its not clicking in my head right now I have been awake for to long haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry its not clicking in my head right now I have been awake for to long haha  You are correct sir! After the wet-sanding the clearcoat will look very 'cloudy', and once you have worked up the 3000 grit SHR will make it clear again.  Josh recently posted a write-up of wet-sanding his SRT8 - http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/cars/18034.htm.

0 Cap10_Morgan Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I hope my first post on this forum isn't going to be a stupid question, but this info seems like it is outdated due to advances in the pad technology, etc. Are there still any advantages in owning a PC and a Flex? From what I have gathered, the Flex isn't necessarily any more "dangerous" than the PC. I am a complete noob, and if I am going to be getting one, I don't want to waste money on a PC only to upgrade to a Flex like everyone seems to be doing. Is either machine capable of getting into tighter areas? (And how DO you get those smaller areas if they dont?) Basically, I just want to get the most bang for my buck and make my life as easy as possible. (Shopping for a machine stemmed from not being able to move after spending all weekend hand polishing my wife's used black truck that looked like it had never been taken care of before, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tim Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 You can use 4 inch pads on the PC but not the flex. That will allow you to get into the smaller areas. Both machines will get the job done, the flex is faster. I am glad I have both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mongosg8 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I also have both .. I will actually use both when detailing. The PC helps in those small areas etc. But I did see a 4" baking plate for the flex to handle 4" pads. Not sure where though.. would be nice to see if Adams can get a hold of these.

0 JBlack151 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I have both as well. I dedicate my PC to the 4" Focus Pads for the smaller areas that need attention. The Flex handles the rest of the panels with standard pads. Â If I was advising someone to purchase one or the other then go for the Flex to handle the bulk of your paint correction needs and add the PC at a later time should you wish.

Not sure where though.. would be nice to see if Adams can get a hold of these. Â The 4" plate that adapts to the Flex actually is itself 4" (doesn't accommodate 4" pads), so it would take 5" pad (if I remember correctly). Â The way we looked at it that size savings isn't substantial enough to justify overhauling or adding a 3rd size to the pad line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cap10_Morgan Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I saw the chart, but it seemed out of date since the new pads allow the flex to machine sealant and stuff like that. Now I'm more unsure than I was, lol. I originally thought I might as well just get the "better" one... because I dont think I will ever be able to justify buying 2 different machines with the wife. So if the PC is needed to get smaller areas and it CAN do the same job as the flex (just slower), then maybe thats what I need to go with. (I know the wife will appreciate the difference in price, leaving me more money for Adams supplies!) Thanks guys! Â (Oh, one more question on this topic... if I did end up getting the flex, I wouldnt dare use the focus pads that go on a drill for those small areas right? Being a novice and all, and wouldnt it be even more dangerous having a rotary type pad in those small areas next to things that could be easily damaged?)

0 Beemer Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I love my PC and it is plenty for me. I only have one car I'm currently caring for and it's paint has never been in bad shape. Â If I had several cars to correct or cars in bad shape that I needed to correct I would probably get a FLEX but the PC is great for occasional (twice a year) corrections on a garage kept car. Â I think it really depends on how much time you will spend w/ the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
