Just bought flex xce. Not a fan of force pads. Will rupes fine pads or the new hdo ccs pads work or is the forced rotation to much for these pads?
PJ – Any of the pads we carry will work great with the XCE. I would lean HDO or SDO pads and I would make sure you swap out often if you are performing heavy polishing to reduce heat generation, allowing the pads to last as long as possible.
Thank you! Thanks for being there for us to ask questions!!
