Part of me wishes tool manufactures would do a 'stubby' cord version, maybe a 4-5" jumper, that could plug in and lock to an extension cord. If I have to get a 50ft cord out anyways the 9 (or 25ft) of cord hanging off the machine only serves as a PITA I have to coil up when I put it away.
You know, Dylan, you could just cut it. :')

That's pretty much what I was thinking. There has to be more to it for the $50 difference though. Right?

Nick, I really wish you guys still sold the Flex. I'm used to a single pad. I'm not looking to relearn my technique. I'm still planning on using your products. I'll just buy your machine polish kit sans machine.

The technique is still basically the same, just minor tweaks can be made from machine to machine.

You still use a cross-hatch pattern, polishes still flash, etc.

Camaro5 code will save you a good chunk of change on a kit...and shipping is free on them since they are over $95!

How's that?!?

GREAT! Another question is will the car paint fade faster afterwards of using this kit? (The cyclo and paint correcting kit)

No, your paint will not fade. Polishing clears up the appearance of swirls/scratches/fading/oxidation, doesn't add to it.
