I hope you lot don't mind me posting this, but let me myself get excited after adding this to my collection! As there's a couple more of you who've asked if I can machine your DS3s, this is the little baby I will be using to do it!
After 'test driving' the Flex PE 14-2 150 Rotary Polisher at Waxstock a few weeks back, whilst at Autobrite yesterday training the Back to Basics Plus course, I decided to spend some pennies on this lovely Flex.
What a lovely machine, I was impressed when I 'test drove' it at Waxstock, but yesterday I got to try it during the course (what a machine to demo using a rotary on!) and then this afternoon I couldn't resist trying it on the neighbour's Black A3 - I machined this car back in May 2010 but being 'black-black' it seems to attract marks even more than most cars attract bird poo!
All I can say is the machine is an absolute pleasure to use, I particularly love the weight balance, the whole ergomonics of the machine feels 'just right'. Do I need a top-end pro machine? - No! Am I glad I bought it? - Oh Yes!
A few pics, I was using it to remove some RDS on the bonnet of the A3:
The finished Result (not close up, just wanted to say 'This is some machine!'):
Detailing Hobbyists often debate if they 'need' to spend 'this much' on a machine polisher - like a lot of things you can debate all day long, and you simply don't (certainly not as a hobbyist) - but at less than the equivalent of two months council tax (what do I get for that?!!!!), why did I wait? LOL....
Regards,
Clive.
