We Say
Rotary correction without a power lead dragging across the paintwork. The cordless PE-150 puts mobility at the heart of a serious polishing setup.
A power cable is one more thing to manage when polishing around mirrors, door edges and freshly corrected panels. The FLEX PE-150 is a cordless rotary designed to let you move around the vehicle without a trailing lead, while keeping the direct-drive feel of a conventional rotary.
It uses FLEX's 18V battery platform and a brushless motor. Electronic management, a progressive trigger and a flatter gear-head design are intended to make correction more controllable. The soft-grip housing and rubberised resting bar are particularly welcome when a machine is being picked up and set down repeatedly.
This version is listed as a complete kit with two 5Ah batteries, a charger, a 150mm backing plate, a handle and an L-BOXX carry case. That distinction matters because bare-tool versions of cordless polishers are often sold separately.
For us, the main appeal is freedom of movement. Battery life depends heavily on pad, pressure and working conditions, so we would treat advertised runtimes as guidance rather than a guarantee. With a demanding tool like this, the right operating speed depends on the pad, polish and paint in front of you.

How To Use
1) Prepare the paintwork:
Wash, decontaminate and dry the vehicle. Inspect the paint and protect sensitive trims and edges as required.
2) Select the right accessories:
Fit a compatible backing plate and pad, then choose a compound or polish suitable for the paint condition. Check the manufacturer's instructions and any kit-specific contents.
3) Start at a controlled speed:
Apply a modest amount of polish to the pad. Begin at low speed to spread the product, with the pad positioned carefully on the panel.
4) Work in manageable sections:
Keep the pad moving evenly with controlled pressure. Monitor paint temperature, pad condition and product residue, especially near edges and raised body lines.
5) Inspect and refine:
Wipe away residue with a clean microfibre cloth and check the result under suitable lighting. Repeat or refine with a less aggressive combination if necessary.
Important Notes:
✓ Rotary machines use direct pad rotation and require suitable technique
✓ Always use the appropriate backing plate, pad and polish combination
✓ Monitor heat and avoid lingering over edges or sensitive paint
✓ Disconnect mains machines or remove batteries before accessory changes
✓ Follow the manufacturer's operating and safety instructions
