Tesa, Labello, Tempo und Jeep. Aber was haben diese Dinge jetzt mit einer Poliermaschine zutun? Ganz einfach. Diese Marken haben es geschafft durch hervorragende Qualität ihren Markennamen als Synonym für das eigentliche Produkt zu etablieren. Genau das hat die Firma Flex im Bereich der Winkelschleifer geschafft. Und da sich Winkelschleifer und Poliermaschine recht ähnlich sind, liegt es nahe auch eine Flex Poliermaschine auf den Markt zu bringen.
Aber jetzt gibt es nicht nur eine Flex Poliermaschine, sondern viele verschiedene Modelle. Deshalb verschaffen wir dir hier auf der Seite eine Übersicht über die diversen Flex Poliermaschinen und finden zusammen heraus, welche für dich die Beste ist.
Was bedeutet die Typenbezeichnung bei den Flex Poliermaschinen?
Poliermaschinentyp: Grob gesagt werden die Maschinen in 2 Kategorien unterschieden. Exzenter Poliermaschinen und einfache Rotationspoliermaschinen. Wo genau der Unterschied liegt haben wir bereits ausführlich in unserem Artikel zum Thema Exzenter Poliermaschine erklärt. Dafür stehen die Kürzel XFE und PE, wie in unserem Schaubild noch einmal veranschaulicht wird.
Leistung: Die nächste Zahl bemisst die Leistung der Flex Poliermaschine. Multipliziert man sie mit dem Faktor 100 bekommt man die Leistung in Watt.
Hub/Baugröße: Danach wird bei Exzenter Poliermaschinen der Hub angegeben. Da Rotationspoliermaschinen keinen Hub haben, steht die Zahl an dieser Stelle für die Baugröße. Dabei steht 1 für die größten Flex Poliermaschinen und je höher die Zahl, desto kleiner die Poliermaschine. Die Flex Poliermaschinen mit der Kennziffer 4 sind die aktuell kleinsten angebotenen Poliermaschinen der Marke.
Stützteller Größe: Diese Zahl steht für die Größe des Stütztellers, der bei Kauf der Flex Poliermaschine montiert ist.

There are several ways of drying your car. Drying the car with a microfiber towel is one of them. It is a very common one for detailers, because microfiber towels are easy to maintain and re-use, and they minimize the risk of swirls.
Why dry with a microfiber towel
When drying a car, you can do this indirect or direct. Indirect means that you dry the surface without actually touching it (like using an air blowing device). Direct means that you dry the surface by touching it (like wiping it with a microfiber towel).
By drying the surface with a microfiber towel, you minimize the risk of swirls and marring, and you remove the water safely. Water isn’t just made out of water alone. Tapwater especially contains calcium and magnesium, together with several other minerals and trace-elements. When the water starts to evaporate, these minerals and trace-elements stay behind. When you are working on a hot summers day, the sunlight can actually have a little magnifying glass effect within the waterdrop. This can add to the process that etches the minerals into the paint. Making them very hard to remove, and literally damaging your paint on a very small level.
The types of drying
There can be several minor differences, but in essence, there are 2 ways of drying your car with a microfiber towel.
-
The swipe and drag technique
This technique is the most common one. The microfiber towel is either pulled over the surface or swiped. This is an effective way to dry the car fairly quick, but there is a very small risk that by dragging the towel over the surface, you create miniature swirls. There is a long lasting discussion between the supporters of this technique and the other technique.
-
The drop and soak technique
This technique is not as common, but has a strong group of supporters. The microfiber towel is gently laid down on the surface, allowing it to soak up the water simply by laying on top of it. When the water is absorbed, the towel is simply picked up and laid down on another surface. The advantage is that you don’t move the towel which minimizes the risk of swirls or marring. But it could take more time and perhaps even more different towels.
Both techniques have there pros and cons. The situation might be the answer to what technique is most fitting.
Pros and cons of using a (MF) towel to dry the car
Pros:
- It is a very effective way because microfiber drying towels can absorb a lot of water
- The risk of marring and swirls is minimized
-
Microfiber towels will have little to no effects on very soft surfaces or very soft paint
- A good microfiber drying towel is not only suited for drying, but can also be used to buff off polish, wax, sealant or to clean interior with if needed
Cons:
- Microfiber towels are not cheap, the good ones are a bit expensive
- Although they are not difficult to maintain, they still need a bit of care
- They are not as common to come by as an old t-shirt or blouse
Things to take into account
There aren’t many steps. There are 2 main techniques described above that pretty much sum it all up.
However, there are a few things you need to remember when using a microfiber towel:
- When a towel is dropped on the floor, put it aside and don’t use it until it has been washed. There can be very small amount of dust, dirt, sand and other particles in the towel. Using it will spread those particles over your paint, and because of the sharp sand it can even scratch the surface.
- Never wash a towel with fabric softener! The oils in this product will clog up the microscopic fibers. This will have a very negative impact on the performance that is almost impossible to undo.
- Putting the towel in the dryer after washing can help clean out any dust or lint
- As with many things, a good towel costs good money. The cheap towels are rarely worth the money spent

Als erstes fällt dir wahrscheinlich auf, dass die Typenbezeichnung der Flex 3401 VRG nicht so aufschlüsseln lässt wie von uns zuvor erklärt. Das hat auch einen Grund. Bei dieser Flex Poliermaschine handelt es sich um ein Spezialgerät.
Diese Flex ist nicht einfach nur eine Exzenter Poliermaschine, sondern sie verfügt zusätzlich noch über einen sogenannten Zwangsantrieb. Dieser Zwangsantrieb verhindert das stehen bleiben der Maschine unter zuviel Druck. Daraus resultiert der Vorteil einer höheren Defektkorrektur und eines sehr gleichmäßigen Polierbildes.
Die Flex 3401 verfügt über einen Polierhub von 8 mm und kann dabei auf eine Leistung von 1010 Watt zurückgreifen. Diese Leistung ist für eine Exzenter Poliermaschine sehr beachtlich. Uns ist sonst keine Exzenter Poliermaschine bekannt, die über mehr als 1000 Watt verfügt. Somit wird einem schnell klar, dass es sich bei dieser Flex Poliermaschine um ein extrem Leistungsstarkes Gerät handelt.
Trotz umfangreicher Technik bringt das Modell lediglich 2,6 kg auf die Waage. Gepaart mit einem 4 m langen Kabel, ist somit auch die Bewegungsfreiheit und Ergonomie auf höchstem Level.

Die Flex Poliermaschine PE 14-3 125 ist etwas kleiner als ihr Geschwistermodell die Flex PE 14-2 150. Dies macht sich bei der Stütztellergröße von 125 mm und dem Maximal montierbaren Polierkörper von 160 mm bemerkbar.
Angetrieben wird die Maschine jedoch vom selben Motor, deshalb verfügt auch dieses Modell über sagenhafte 1400 Watt Leistung. In etwa 100 g leichter ist die Maschine ebenfalls - ist aber eher zu vernachlässigen.
Der größte Unterschied ist der Drehzahlbereich von 1100-3700 /min. Dieser liegt wesentlich höher. Damit eignet sie sich hervorragend für Lackierwerkstätten und Smart-Repair.

There can be several minor differences, but in essence, there are 2 ways of drying your car with a microfiber towel.
-
The swipe and drag technique
This technique is the most common one. The microfiber towel is either pulled over the surface or swiped. This is an effective way to dry the car fairly quick, but there is a very small risk that by dragging the towel over the surface, you create miniature swirls. There is a long lasting discussion between the supporters of this technique and the other technique.
-
The drop and soak technique
This technique is not as common, but has a strong group of supporters. The microfiber towel is gently laid down on the surface, allowing it to soak up the water simply by laying on top of it. When the water is absorbed, the towel is simply picked up and laid down on another surface. The advantage is that you don’t move the towel which minimizes the risk of swirls or marring. But it could take more time and perhaps even more different towels.
Both techniques have there pros and cons. The situation might be the answer to what technique is most fitting.
Pros and cons of using a (MF) towel to dry the car
Pros:
- It is a very effective way because microfiber drying towels can absorb a lot of water
- The risk of marring and swirls is minimized
-
Microfiber towels will have little to no effects on very soft surfaces or very soft paint
- A good microfiber drying towel is not only suited for drying, but can also be used to buff off polish, wax, sealant or to clean interior with if needed
Cons:
- Microfiber towels are not cheap, the good ones are a bit expensive
- Although they are not difficult to maintain, they still need a bit of care
- They are not as common to come by as an old t-shirt or blouse
Things to take into account
There aren’t many steps. There are 2 main techniques described above that pretty much sum it all up.
However, there are a few things you need to remember when using a microfiber towel:
- When a towel is dropped on the floor, put it aside and don’t use it until it has been washed. There can be very small amount of dust, dirt, sand and other particles in the towel. Using it will spread those particles over your paint, and because of the sharp sand it can even scratch the surface.
- Never wash a towel with fabric softener! The oils in this product will clog up the microscopic fibers. This will have a very negative impact on the performance that is almost impossible to undo.
- Putting the towel in the dryer after washing can help clean out any dust or lint
- As with many things, a good towel costs good money. The cheap towels are rarely worth the money spent
There are several ways of drying your car. Drying the car with a microfiber towel is one of them. It is a very common one for detailers, because microfiber towels are easy to maintain and re-use, and they minimize the risk of swirls.
Why dry with a microfiber towel
When drying a car, you can do this indirect or direct. Indirect means that you dry the surface without actually touching it (like using an air blowing device). Direct means that you dry the surface by touching it (like wiping it with a microfiber towel).
By drying the surface with a microfiber towel, you minimize the risk of swirls and marring, and you remove the water safely. Water isn’t just made out of water alone. Tapwater especially contains calcium and magnesium, together with several other minerals and trace-elements. When the water starts to evaporate, these minerals and trace-elements stay behind. When you are working on a hot summers day, the sunlight can actually have a little magnifying glass effect within the waterdrop. This can add to the process that etches the minerals into the paint. Making them very hard to remove, and literally damaging your paint on a very small level.

Klein. Handlich. Leicht. Leistungsstark. Diese 4 Eigenschaften fassen die Flex PE 8-4 80 eigentlich sehr gut zusammen.
Denn mit nur 1,8 kg ist sie ein echtes Fliegengewicht. Hat aber trotzdem mit 800 Watt eine enorme Leistung. Aufgrund des fehlenden Exzenter Hub, lässt sie sich an Engstellen noch etwas besser handeln als ihr Exzenter Counterpart.
Selbstverständlich verfügt auch die kleinste Flex Poliermaschine über die VR-Mikroprozessor-Elektronik, ein 4 m langes Kabel und die bekannt hohe Qualität von Flex.

Welche Flex Poliermaschine ist die Beste?
Diese Frage kann man nicht ohne weiteres beantworten. Schließlich hat jede Flex Poliermaschine seine Daseinsberechtigung und unterschiedliche Stärken.
Wären wir aber auf der Suche nach unsere ersten Poliermaschine würde unsere Wahl bei den Exzenter Poliermaschinen von Flex wohl auf die Flex 3401 VRG fallen. Aufgrund des tollen Zwangsantrieb.
Unter den Rotationspoliermaschinen wäre unsere erste Wahl die Flex PE 14-2 150.
Aber auch ein Blick zu den Poliermaschinen von Makita kann sich lohnen.
