Flex DA Polisher - Better than sex!!

Decided to try out my new toy on one of my toys before I put her away for winter. The BEST money I've spent on a tool in quite a while.

Those are some pretty sweet results. Would also like to know what products you are using with this tool.

LMAO, It just so happens that I am in the middle of a schitty divorce, apparently it shows. Meguiars M105 and M205 are the main ones; using Adams pads.

Not bad results for a 20+/- year old GM peeler program repaint.

Re: Flex DA Polisher - Better than sex!!

Looks great.

I really like the M1/205. The DA buffers are awesome, especially on black. Can't beat it.

Generally, I use a rotary buffer for paint correction and a DA for swirl/hollogram removal, polishes and waxes.

It's amazing what good products/pads will do with the correct buffer speed. Car looks fantastic, let's see some more of it!

Re: Flex DA Polisher - Better than sex!!

I have the flex as well, it works wonders. Only electric power tool I have that doesn't ever feel like it's pushing the limits of its motor.

Re: Flex DA Polisher - Better than sex!!

Is there another brand of polisher that works good but not so expensive as the Flex? Just curious as I wouldn't use it enough to justify 400.00 .

Just curious

Re: Flex DA Polisher - Better than sex!!

While I have not used Flex to compare, I have been using the DA Polisher from Harbor Freight as polisher, buffer, and both wet and dry sander.
They also have 6" buffing pads for $5 each .

Re: Flex DA Polisher - Better than sex!!

Thanks for the info. I have used a standard buffer several times but from what I have read the DA buffers work fantastic for the final stage. I am going to invest in one now its just deciding which one.
I have a 91 Z28 it is blue. It needs a good buffing again. Sometime when my wife helps me out I will get some pic's posted of it on here. I am not to good at computers so I need her help. lol....

Thanks
Brian
