When using FMP with Flex, is it SUPPOSED to be on speed 4??

[Chase@InsanePaint]

Reason I ask, is because I just got done detailing the Jeep. Other than a 2-bucket wash, she just needed some FMP & a fresh coat of Americana (no clay necessary, I promise). Well this time, for the first time, I decided to do it (on my Flex of course) on a setting of 4, versus a setting of 6 like I always used to do.......

HOOOOOOLY CRAP!!! The paint on the Jeep has never looked better!!! A couple weeks from now, I'll hit it with some BG & another coat of Americana, as it's my wife's DD. But GOOD LORD I was surprised at how much better it came out, as in flawless.

My question is. When using FMP with a Flex & white pad, should it ALWAYS be used at a speed of 4?? And I just missed the memo on that, lol?? Sorry if that's a stupid question, but I always had a little tiny bit of micro-marring when I had Flex set at 6 with FMP. But now at speed 4, she just looks like red glass. Feedback???

Speed 4 is ok with FMP, with SSR & SHR I would work on 5 or 6. Glad you like your Flex!

I usually hit somewhere around 5 or a little lower on the Flex with FMP.

Exactly. I do as well. I was working ALL PRODUCT at a 6 until last night.

I like 5, but don't just go off of what other people say... if its working for you at 4 stick with it. Remember that detailing isn't so much paint by numbers... theres a level of art to it that you have to figure out for yourself.

True. Good point Dylan. Thank you.

I have been using FMP at 1 click under 5 and it works great!
