I've been on a wait list for the Flex orbital polisher at the distributer. I just happen to call them this morning to check on the backorder and I caught them unloading the truck. So I snapped one up right away.

Here's the link to the website. http://www.pwr-house.com/FLEX.html

I'm starting to acquire what I need for what will be a hobby for me.
1) Katcher powerwasher with foam gun attachment
2) Flex orbital polisher
3) A variety of Chemical Guys supplies

Now all I need is for the seasons to change!

 

Wow! that looks nice!

Its pricey but i hear its worth it, good luck.

What are the key differences vs the Porter Cable 7424 ??

Cheers

 

WestCoast550 so far I have read multiple reviews on Autogeek, Classic Motoring, and Autopia.org that have all rated the Flex orbital polisher higher than the currently availalble orbital polishers. Since I'm new to orbital polishers I have absolutely zero authority to render an opinion, and I am assuming a huge leap of faith that I am not being bamboozled.

Having admitted my ignorance, on this forum, I am trusting in the highly regarded opinion of FMINUS, who has rendered his opinion elsewhere in this forum.

 

..... we never doubt the "Master " ....... ..........I have no idea either. I'm a newbe to the detailing process but I'm also nit about the process so I am just as curious as you .

Cheers

 

Just received the Flex today, can't wait to try it out.

 

Well ..... It looks good ! I got mine a few days ago as well . We'll have to compare newbe polisher results later !!

Cheers

 

That thing looks bad ass!

I want to get one of those. Do you guys know where I can watch some how-to videos online that teach you the basic techniques to using a random orbital?

And what are some good polishes? Is it possible to polish out orange peel and make the paint look like glass?

 

I think you should direct that question to FMINUS or CsBimmer..... I know they have lots of how to vids on the Autogeek.net site..... good luck

 

KnIgHtCoM I'm reviewing the videos and instructions on Autopia.org as a starter. I have no prior experience with a random orbital polisher, but I don't think that the learning curve is too steep. There are no instructional materials with the Flex device.
I'm still checking out some instructional materials as well, Griot's has one.
I received some Menzerna products for Christmas so I'm going to start with these polishes.
I don't know the answer to your question about orange peel. I think you might want to ask FMINUS.
