I had purchased this tool from a local detail supply outlet and it has been my go-to polisher since (I've hardly had to break any of my DA machines out since). I run this tool with a 5" Buff and Shine backing plate with an assortment of pads ranging from Buff and Shine to Meguiar's to 3D. This machine is run daily and it run long in my shop. Since getting this machine I've had 4 client cars qualify and go to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance car show this year. Currently ramping up for SEMA where I will probably have this machine running for 10+ hour days for 2 weeks straight. One thing to note is that this machine under paint polishing speeds (typically 1000-1400 rpm for me) does get hot and she is a beefy machine (just think of those shoulder gains you'll get with her). Also as another reviewer mentioned, with a quick trigger pull, she will overshoot the desired RPM and then come back down. Speed control in that aspect probably could use some refining since none of my Flex machines do that, but other than heat and RPM overshoot, great machine and must have machine for the advanced to pro detailer.
