what products to use with a flex 3401

FotiosF90M5 · 08-24-2008, 12:26 PM

I just bought one used and I've never used one before. Im a beginner and I want something simple like an all in one polish/cleaner then a glaze. My car is an 07 alpine white and the paint is in overall good shape. Some haze you can see in certain lighting. I want all that gone and I want a nice deep finish(as deep as alpine white can be). Im also wondering what pads I should use. thanks in advance for anyones help. I will most likely buy the stuff from detailed image because I dont know where else to get anything. Im clueless

For future reference when people search the threads, it might be useful for you to post your PM.

FWIW, I think SIP, 106FF, some orange pads and some white pads are a good start.

85RD also goes well with it!

A nice 3 step polish / pad combo to have on hand would be the following:

Meguiar's M105 / orange pads
Menzerna Power Finish / green or white pads
PO85RD / black pads

With those 3 polishes on hand you should be able to tackle a majority of imperfections on various paint finishes while giving you professional like results nearly every time.
