“Used rotary machines and whilst they are better for harder paints, I can't recommend this Flex highly enough for the finish they give. Ive used this on a few German vehicles and with the right compound and polishes it does the job. If you've the budget then buy one. Fantastic quality machine.”

“I have two cars and a sailing boat that I like to keep looking great. This product is perfect and much much better than the DAS-6 PRO - I have used both products and feel that the FLEX XC3401 is all you will ever need for amateur detailing for removing light clear coat scratches, compounding and polishing. Would be great if a smaller backing plate was supplied (worth buying the 4 inch plate separately). It is extremely easy to use and you get the hang of the process very quickly. Both cars look like new again. It is also great for removing light scratches on gelcoat. In my view don't waste your money on a DAS-6 PRO - spend the extra - you won't regret your decision.”

“This is perfect for light scratches and making a three year old car look like new...!! I have tried the DAS 6 PRO - this is leap years better - I guess you get what you pay for. Makes short work of light scratches (not through the clear coat) and great for just bringing your paintwork to factory again. I read the reviews and saw the demos and thought what the hell - and delighted with the results. The forced rotation seems to be the key. This will keep my sailing boat and car like new for many years to come. Well done FLEX on a great product and well done 'CleanYourCar' for first class service / delivery / personal touch.”

“Not had chance to use this in anger for very long but my initial impression working on gelcoats is positive although I must admit to being surprised at the noise level which was greater than expected. The pad needs quite a bit of product to produce the best results but all in all, it is an easy machine to use, well balanced and comfortable for the couple of hours I used it. The machine will pull around if the pad isn't keep flat but rather than being a problem I see this as a useful feature as it lets you know that you need to adjust your working style to bring the whole pad back into contact with the surface. While it will pull around, it doesn't snatch meaning I felt comfortable and confident using it at height while standing on a work platform. Not the cheapest machine on the market but appears well made with a good reputation and I would certainly recommend it to anyone wishing to substancially reduce or eradicate holograms when polishing gel coats. As a professional user, I wish I had bought one years ago!”

“I keep mine locked away at night, that's how much I value this polisher! Simply the best piece of kit I've used in 15 years of detailing. The Rolls Royce of polishers, smooth, powerful but brutally efficient in its capabilities. Personally there is no other I'd use. F1Wax.com Detailing”
