    SN 00001 goes to Max (Owner of PBMA), 00002 goes to Mike Phillips, 00003 will be given to Pres. Obama, 00004 to the VP, 00005 to NASA, the rest is for everybody else.
    Wow! i was also itching on ordering this light weight champ, coming from using a BnD rotary polishing i had to buy a Makita 9227c just because it was lighter and spent around 11k for that too bad this baby didn't come out till lately or else i would have ordered one and shipped it along with our box in transit

    I am also confused because the new polisher weights 5.5 pounds and the other buffer i have FLEX L3403 VRG Lightweight Circular Polisher is only 5 pounds which i assume is lighter, and this one also packs more punch since it goes up to 3.7k rpm at about half the price, so im still thinking if its really worth buying the new Flex, and also upon checking they both look pretty much the same i guess the main difference would be the air vents with the new one and the old traditional handle in the old one

    Hi Madkatz. I just noticed the airflow directions of the PE14, the exhaust air blows towards the area that you will be working on. I'm wondering if it will affect the product's working time since it's like your blowing hot air to the surface that you are working on?

    Masters and gurus, so I just finished my detailing yesterday from wash to clay to polish to sealing. BUT I made the mistake of doing WOWO with the sealant when the instructions on the Internet said to wait for at least 30-45 minutes. So I'm assuming that there is very little, if any, sealant on the car. So, I want to re-apply the sealant.

    BUT, unfortunately, it rained kanina I got home, hosed it down with water, then I did an ONR wipe down. What should I do now?

    Is it safe to just go ahead with the sealing? Or should I do some kind of prepping? Mag Mom's step 1 pa ba ako?
