alexdrozd Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Why isn't it a good idea to use the Flex to apply MSS? All that I have read says to use the PC but I couldn't find the reason not to use the Flex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowNslo Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 and because of the forced rotation, the MSW doesn't apply evenly..... causing the "tiger stripe" effect. They are currently working on a sub for the flex I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 It's the way the Flex operates that makes it not a good idea, currently, to apply MSS with it. There was a lot of tiger striping noticed when laying it down on the Flex because of it's beastiness. We are currently working on a new pad that will work both for the PC and the Flex to solve this problem. Mook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Mook Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Anyone got pics of this effect in action so we can see what it does? It looks like the paint is shiny and striped. You can see the un-even-ness on the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I asked the same thing Flex generates way TOO much heat as per Dylan. I don't believe I ever pointed to heat generation being a cause for concern or issues with application of MSS. It looks like the paint is shiny and striped. You can see the un-even-ness on the surface. It does produce this 'tiger stripe' effect for some reason. MSS needs to be as even as possible, especially on darker colors. The movement of the PC works great b/c at low speeds (like 3) the pad won't even rotate. The flex tends to build the product up at the edges of the pad and thin it out in the middle, leading to uneven application. on a silver or white car it might not even be noticeable, but on black it will be pretty obvious.
