Need Help Pros! Porsche Paint problem!

[imported_weekendwarrior]

weekendwarrior- Heh heh, you keep leaning on that Flex hard enough and you're gonna end up needing two of 'em







IME you should be able to remove holograms via PC...you can do all sorts of correction via PC with the right pad/product combo and holograms shouldn't be *that* bad. If the holograms *are* really severe that could be a different story...



But just because you *can* do something, that doesn't make it the best course of action. [Insert "buy a Flex 3401" advice here]







If my Flex died I'd buy another one in a hearbeat instead of getting one of my rotaries back off the shelf

I am in the process of selling my house and moving, so I haven't spent much time here on Autopia lately. Yeah Accumulator, I LOVE the Flex, and have considered buying a second as a back up.



My wife accidentally put about an 18" long scratch on my in-laws' Mazda MPV with a metal shelf while we were moving. I had to pull the rotary out, and use a burgundy Solo wool pad, and M95 to remove that. I think that's the first time I have used the rotary in a loooooong time since getting the Flex.



I have found that the Flex has tackled just about everything I have encountered since I purchased it. I am talking soft paints like Porsche 996 and 997s....all the way to Vettes.

Yikes, surprised you needed the rotary to do the MPV...the paint on mine is pretty soft and *VERY* thin..no way I'd take a rotary to it; I've done actual *damage* with just the PC/4".



Good luck with the move, and yeah...I can sure see having a backup Flex, but then I'm the guy with two of everything As an instructor once told me about [a uhm..very different tool] "if you only have one of those, you don't really have *any*".
