We offer the Flex XC 3401 VRG for $279.99, which is the minimum price set by Flex. We also offer all the pads you mentioned and you can use your 350Z coupon code for 10% off (10off350Z) on them. I think the best value though is our Flex Starter Kit and Flex Advanced Kit. These packages offer you 10x or 20x pads plus pad cleaners. Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you select pads, polishes, etc.

What brand pads are those? The prices look great, but I really want the pads that come with this kit.

You could probably get by with one...but I'd have two or three to be on the safe side.

ok i guess ill just get the advance kit

questions about polish and water spot remover polish

i suppose water spots are easier to remove then swirls and oxidation? so does that mean water spot polish is a real light abrasive?

I have water sports on my car and swirls
i was looking at SIP,IP,106ff,FPII

From reading 106ff can be a finishing polish and a medium cut. should i just get 106ff, or do i need SIP or IP aslo

Or should I stick with IP and FPII

Im confuse about the products

Just get sip and 106ff and that should handle all your polishing needs.Just use them with the right pads.

Watermarks are not necessarily easier to remove than swirls. They can have some deep etchings that are tough to remove. I would highly recommend getting at least one medium and light cutting polish. The SIP and PO106FF would definitely be my first choice.
