What speed did you work the 105 on the flex? Great work! Wow!

Top work, awesome shop. Although I expect these results everytime I click on your thread I am always impressed... 
EBPcivicsi
GOT PREP?
Thanks everyone! I wash I had more time to post, but it's hard to get pictures of everything--we try to get the "different" vehicles, or the ones we really like.
Accumulator--Thanks! No doubt about the water--we have a hard time getting some of the cars dry vefore they begiin to spot. Depending upon the paint we sometimes have to dry it fully, then blow out the cracks. We try to fully blow dry every car, but with this water it just isn't possible on some vehicles.
I guess we need to look into some filtration!
Junebug--it really just depends upon the customer's needs/goals. If I had to pick one it would either be collinite 476s, or Meguiars #21.

Hope ebpcivicsi doesn't mind my answering for him (and he can correct me if I goof up 
). Busy as he is, I'll try to answer as he would:
Pretty sure he's using the 3401. He and I are both sorta with how well it works with the M105.
I've been using 5 or 6 and I expect ebpcivicsi is doing the same. Watch out for dried/caked product on the outer portion of the pad (clean it as needed). The "reactivate with water" technique seems to work well with this combo, but I was working on hard clear and you *do* need to keep the foam pads clean.
EDIT: weekendwarrior just cautioned me that the water-thing can be risky with the Flex/foam pad because any clumping of product can lead to not-so-micro marring, so be careful if you try that.

Exactly!
Thanks Accumulator. I need to post exaclty what we have learned in our endeavors with M105/Flex. The water misting will indeed work, but make sure that you *always* clean the pad between panels--the clumping can be really dangerous if you are not on top of it.Always speed 5 or 6.
