The FLEX XCE 8 150 18-EC Set delivers performance on par with corded polishers, but completely cordless thanks to the brushless 18V battery system. The machine is built to remove medium-strength scratches, swirl marks and holograms with high control and precision.
The tool suits both established detailing studios and enthusiasts who want to use the same equipment as the professionals. The one-step system with a purple foam pad and Polish delivers effective surface treatment without changing materials between steps.

CDC electronics and a microprocessor-controlled unit keep the rotation speed stable regardless of load, delivering a consistent result from start to finish.
What Sets the FLEX Polisher Apart?
The FLEX polisher combines a next-generation brushless motor with a newly developed high-performance gear that reduces both noise level and vibration. The additional external gear enables rotary operation with simultaneous eccentric movement, increasing the polishing effect compared with eccentric operation alone.
Ergonomically shaped grip surfaces with soft material ease prolonged handling, and the flat gear head reduces the distance to the surface for better control near bodywork details. The electronic management system (EMS) protects the motor against overload and contributes to a longer service life.
Where the FLEX Polisher Performs Best
- Car paintwork and reconditioning when removing scratches and holograms
- Marine surfaces where the speed range provides controlled surface treatment
- Aerospace surface treatment requiring a consistent finish
- Detailing studios working with varying paint types and hardness levels

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the FLEX Polisher Suitable for Deep Scratches or Only Lighter Surface Defects?
The FLEX polisher is primarily intended for medium-strength scratches, swirl marks and holograms. For deeper paint damage, a coarser Compound is recommended together with a harder pad, possibly combined with a higher-power rotary polisher.
How Low Is the Noise Level and How Long Does the Battery Last on the FLEX Polisher?
The sound pressure level is 79 dB(A), which is low compared with many corded alternatives. With a 5.0 Ah battery, included in the set, you get a run time that covers most polishing tasks during a working day. Battery capacity is shown continuously on the machine's LED display.

What Distinguishes the FLEX Polisher from a Corded Rotary Polisher?
The FLEX polisher combines rotary and eccentric movement in the same tool thanks to the additional external gear, whereas a traditional rotary polisher only rotates. This provides a safer working process with a lower risk of burning the paint, while battery power eliminates cable handling entirely.
