Nice to meet ya Greg :wavey
Sorry it took so long for me to post, been kinda busy lately.
Hope the car came out great, did it? The Flex is a very nice machine, that was my first time using one. That was also the first time using those two polishes in a very long time, so I wasn't quite used to them. It was a learning experience for me to. The polish you had (refurred to as a cleaner by Megs) didn't let us work it very long at all. I wasn't quite expecting that.
The XMT polish lets me work it for a much longer time as it is breaking down. The XMT polish is finer than what we were using. It doesn't gouge the paint the way the Megs #1 did on that hood. I was able to remove the gouging from the hood though.
Being that you had the other Megs products is why I recommended that we buy the Megs #2 for cutting the paint/defect removal. The #2 still didn't let me work it for very long either, but it was a lot finer than the #1, thus minus the gouging.
I think that both the Megs #1 & #2 might work better with a rotary buffer, which is the direction I am headed toward. Don't get me wrong, I like my PC, although it won't hold a match to your Flex, :chuckle: I think that I can achieve the same results I get with the PC in a lot less time with a rotary.
I never went past 4 1/2 on the Flex, so I think it will be a great machine for you to hone your polishing skills on.
I would highly recommend the XMT polishes for you Greg. You would be able to accomplish a lot with the Flex/XMT combo. When doing paint correction, when the paint does haze, (using XMT #3 or #4) the hazing is ultra, ultra fine, unlike the gouging from the Megs #1 & #2. The hazing is also very, very consistent throughout, unlike the random gouging from the "other" brand :chuckle:
I think the XMT polish would be great for you to learn on.
Anyhoo, hope the car came out great. I wasn't able to do the whole car with you, but it was more of a learning process. We made like three trips that day. Orchard supply, Kragens, and the Restaurant. Plus I was rambling most of the day :chuckle:
How do you like the lights? I like mine, they work great for vertical panels or doing work at night outside the garage.
Laters for now, I'll talk to ya later Greg

), I would really appreciate it. If anyone is going to wash the car anytime soon that would be the perfect time! So if anyone is willing to do that, answering here or sending me a PM would be much appreciated. Thanks.
