Rasky,
I was using a new Softbuff 2.0 finishing pad on the rotary and a new Solo foam finishing pad on the Flex, so my pad choice was similar. I made the determination after about two test areas to go back over it with the Flex. The rotary though even with a finishing pad and a slow speed did nice correction work. I've never been one though that has been happy with my own abilites and results to finish black vehicles with a rotary, but I've read where others do.

For the first 14 years of my detailing career I only used a rotary from start to finish...having been introduced to the PC/G110 a few years back, and now the FLEX 3401, and honestly do not like finishing off with a rotary anymore.

I did notice a difference between the rotary and FLEX too. It could have just been the difference in pads choice, but the polish turned more clear looking with the FLEX after a few passes than with the rotary.

Great job!

I have to ask, however, what products are you using on the interior (dash, console, etc.) so that it has that "fresh from the showroom" look, not the "I used a half bottle of super gloss protectant"? The interior in my new truck is a combo of black & grey and this car is the exact look I'm after.

I cleaned with APC, followed up wih M40 on the vinyl. M40 has a very low gloss, but I still follow it up with a dry towel. I use Ultimate Quick Interior Detailer on the radio, TV monitors, and guage display. UQID sound like something you may want. I don't like the glossy look either and it's what I use on my personal car.

What year, make, model truck do you have? Different vinyls may have a slightly different look with M40, or any dressing for that matter.

Thanks for the info Rasky.

I just bought a 2009 Ford Ranger (traded in my 2006 that I couldn't maintain - it was black and I couldn't do it justice)

I have #40 already, I can get QID at a local shop, but I'm having a hard time finding APC. It seems a lot of the really good stuff is only available to those south of the border. Maybe I can find a detail shop that would sell me some, or maybe Mike can suggest an equivalent to APC that's for sale in Canada?
