FLEX offers two random orbital concepts: free-spinning models for safe finishing and controlled polishing, and forced-drive machines for significantly higher cutting power – both available as corded and cordless versions with brushless motors and constant speed.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFLEX random orbital polishers\u003c\/strong\u003e cover most modern paint correction needs. Unlike rotary polishers, random orbital polishers use a combined motion of oscillation and rotation. This method distributes energy more broadly across the paint, drastically reducing the risk of holograms. However, FLEX doesn't offer just one type of random orbital polisher – instead, there are two distinct series designed for different tasks, which complement each other perfectly in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea behind the random orbital polisher is simple: Instead of rotating the polishing pad on a fixed axis like a rotary polisher, an eccentric weight on the motor shaft causes the pad to move in a circular oscillating motion. This oscillation creates a more even energy distribution on the paint surface and makes the machine more forgiving than a rotary polisher. However, there's a crucial difference in how the polishing pad rotates in addition to the oscillation – and this is where free-spin and forced-drive mechanisms diverge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt Detailing1, you'll find all four FLEX random orbital polishers: the free-spinning models \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flex-xfe21514ecc-15mm-exzenterpolierer-freilauf-150mm\"\u003eXFE 2 15 14-EC C\u003c\/a\u003e (corded) and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flex-xfe21518ec-15mm-akku-exzenterpolierer-freilauf-150mm-18v\"\u003eXFE 2 15 18-EC\u003c\/a\u003e (cordless), as well as the forced-drive models \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flex-xce2814ecc-8mm-exzenterpolierer-zwangsrotation-150mm\"\u003eXCE 2 8 14-EC C\u003c\/a\u003e (corded) and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flex-xce2818ec-8mm-akku-exzenterpolierer-zwangsrotation-150mm-18v\"\u003eXCE 2 8 18-EC\u003c\/a\u003e (cordless).

The polishing pad rotates freely – if too much pressure is applied, the rotation stops automatically. This characteristic makes XFE machines the safest choice for finishing work and for users who are still gaining experience. The large throw also ensures high surface coverage and efficient heat distribution on the paint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eXCE Series: 8 mm Throw with Forced Rotation.\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flex-exzenterpolierer-zwangsrotation\"\u003eforced-drive FLEX random orbital polishers\u003c\/a\u003e of the XCE series compel the pad to rotate through a mechanical gearbox – even under high pressure. The more compact 8 mm throw ensures controlled, high-cut movement with reduced vibrations. The result: Significantly more cut than with free-spin, without the hologram risk of a rotary polisher.

If you mainly do one-step polishes and moderate defect correction, the forced-drive random orbital polisher \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flex-xce2814ecc-8mm-exzenterpolierer-zwangsrotation-150mm\"\u003eXCE 2 8 14-EC C\u003c\/a\u003e is sufficient as a standalone machine. If, however, you want to regularly achieve high-gloss finishes with maximum surface quality, you also need the free-spinning random orbital polisher for the final pass. The two-machine strategy delivers the best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFree-Spin vs. Forced Rotation – The Decisive Difference Explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe core difference between the two \u003cstrong\u003eFLEX random orbital polisher\u003c\/strong\u003e series lies in how the polishing pad moves. With the free-spin random orbital polisher of the XFE series, the motor sets the pad into an eccentric oscillating motion – the actual rotation then comes from the friction between the pad and the paint. If you press too hard, the rotation stops, and only the oscillation remains. This very characteristic makes XFE machines so safe: You cannot accidentally overheat the paint or induce holograms – even if your technique isn't perfect yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe physical principle behind it: The rotation of the pad is generated by the friction forces between the polishing surface and the paint. As long as these forces are strong enough, the pad rotates smoothly. However, if you press too hard on the machine, the pressure exceeds the friction forces – the pad is, so to speak, \"held\" and stops its rotation. Only the eccentric oscillation remains, which produces significantly less cutting power. This natural safety mechanism protects the paint from typical beginner mistakes: too much pressure, too long in one spot, too high a speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the forced-drive random orbital polisher of the XCE series, on the other hand, the rotation of the pad is mechanically compelled – by a gear or transmission system inside the machine. The pad continues to rotate even if you apply significant pressure. This means: The polishing performance remains constant, regardless of your pressure technique. Therefore, the XCE delivers significantly more cutting power than the XFE – and is thus the more efficient choice for professional cut polishes, one-step processes, and all situations where the free-spin random orbital polisher alone doesn't provide enough cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth systems have their justification, and neither is universally \"better\" than the other. In practice, most professional detailers work with both types of machines: forced-drive random orbital for cutting, free-spin random orbital for finishing. This combination delivers the best balance of efficiency and surface quality. The forced-drive random orbital polisher quickly and reliably handles the actual defect correction, while the free-spin random orbital polisher removes any remaining light marks in the final pass and polishes the paint to a high gloss – hologram-free and with maximum depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFLEX XFE and XCE in Detail – Throw, Vibration, and Feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flex-xfe21514ecc-15mm-exzenterpolierer-freilauf-150mm\"\u003eXFE 2 15 14-EC C\u003c\/a\u003e and its cordless counterpart \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flex-xfe21518ec-15mm-akku-exzenterpolierer-freilauf-150mm-18v\"\u003eXFE 2 15 18-EC\u003c\/a\u003e operate with a 15 mm throw – one of the largest orbital patterns on the market. A larger throw means: more polishing power per rotation, fewer passes for the same result, and more even heat distribution on the paint. The 15 mm throw of the XFE series covers a larger area per pad rotation than a random orbital polisher with an 8 or 12 mm throw – at the same speed. This makes the XFE particularly efficient on large panels such as hoods, roofs, and side panels. The compromise: On very small areas, edges, and tight radii, the machine with the large throw becomes a bit more unwieldy. For such areas, a smaller spot pad attachment on a reduced backing plate is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flex-xce2814ecc-8mm-exzenterpolierer-zwangsrotation-150mm\"\u003eXCE 2 8 14-EC C\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flex-xce2818ec-8mm-akku-exzenterpolierer-zwangsrotation-150mm-18v\"\u003eXCE 2 8 18-EC\u003c\/a\u003e, on the other hand, use an 8 mm throw. This more compact orbital pattern is deliberately chosen for forced rotation: It reduces vibrations, which are naturally stronger with forced rotation than with free-spin, and gives the machine a more direct, controlled feel. A larger throw with mechanical forced rotation would generate stronger vibrations, leading to faster fatigue during long polishing sessions. The 8 mm is the sweet spot: enough movement for effective cutting, little enough vibration for hours of fatigue-free work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe working feel of both machine types differs noticeably. The XFE free-spin random orbital polisher feels softer and more indirect – the machine \"flows\" over the paint and works almost silently when the pad rotates freely. The XCE forced-drive random orbital polisher has a more direct, firmer working feel – you feel the mechanical coupling of the pad and hear a quiet, steady gearbox sound. Both characteristics are neither good nor bad, but simply different. Most users develop a preference for one or the other working feel after a short familiarization period – but this should not be the decisive factor in machine selection. The crucial factors are the required cutting power and the intended application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding noise development: The XFE free-spin random orbital polisher is the quietest polishing machine in the FLEX range. The lack of mechanical coupling of the pad almost completely eliminates gear noise – you mainly hear the hum of the EC motor and the quiet grinding sound of the pad on the paint. The XCE forced-drive random orbital polisher produces a characteristic, steady gearbox noise, which, however, is significantly quieter with FLEX due to the high-quality gearbox design than with cheaper competitors. In noise-sensitive environments – such as residential areas during mobile detailing – this difference can be relevant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich FLEX Random Orbital Polisher for Which User?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeginners should start with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flex-xfe21514ecc-15mm-exzenterpolierer-freilauf-150mm\"\u003eXFE 2 15 14-EC C\u003c\/a\u003e. The machine is forgiving, stops automatically when too much pressure is applied, and still delivers visible results for light to moderate paint defects. You can use this one machine for your entire first year of machine polishing – from swirl removal to light scratches to wax application. The 15 mm throw gives you enough power reserves to tackle more demanding tasks. Only when you regularly find that you need multiple passes for certain defects and don't have enough time, is it worthwhile to add a forced-drive random orbital polisher. The XFE then remains in the setup as a finishing machine – it is not replaced, but supplemented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessionals who polish daily and need efficiency opt for the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flex-xce2814ecc-8mm-exzenterpolierer-zwangsrotation-150mm\"\u003eXCE 2 8 14-EC C\u003c\/a\u003e as their main machine. The forced drive significantly saves time on one-step polishes per vehicle, as the constant cutting power requires fewer passes. A vehicle that would require two polishing passes with a free-spin random orbital polisher is often finished in one pass with a forced-drive random orbital polisher. With a daily workload of three to five vehicles, this time saving adds up to one to two hours – which is a relevant economic factor in a professional detailing business. For the final high-gloss finish, the XFE is then used as a second machine, especially on dark and sensitive paints where every polishing mark becomes visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMobile detailers rely on the cordless combination: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flex-xce2818ec-8mm-akku-exzenterpolierer-zwangsrotation-150mm-18v\"\u003eXCE 2 8 18-EC\u003c\/a\u003e plus \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flex-xfe21518ec-15mm-akku-exzenterpolierer-freilauf-150mm-18v\"\u003eXFE 2 15 18-EC\u003c\/a\u003e – cordless, powerful, and with a shared battery system. This combination covers practically all polishing tasks encountered in mobile detailing. Two machines, one battery type, no cables – mobile polishing doesn't get more efficient. Those who also want to be equipped for extreme defect correction can add the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flex-pe218ec-akku-rotationspolierer-150mm-18v\"\u003ecordless rotary polisher PE 2 18-EC\u003c\/a\u003e and thus have the complete FLEX arsenal wirelessly available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA scenario we frequently see with our customers: A detailing business starts with an XFE as the initial machine and realizes after a few months that the free-spin reaches its limits on more heavily used pre-owned vehicles. The logical expansion is then the XCE as the main machine for cutting – the XFE becomes the finishing specialist. This organic setup works particularly well with FLEX because both machine types use the same backing plates, pads, and polishes. You don't buy completely new equipment when you add the second machine – just the machine itself. This saves considerable follow-up costs and makes the gradual build-up of a professional setup economically sensible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEven for specialized applications, it's worth considering the machine selection: Those who regularly detail boats or RVs benefit from the forced-drive random orbital polisher, as large surfaces can be worked on particularly efficiently with its constant cutting power. For the care of classic cars with delicate single-stage paints or thin clear coats, the free-spin random orbital polisher is the safe choice because the risk of accidental burn-through is minimal. In motorcycle detailing, where many small and curved surfaces come together, both machine types work with a 75 mm spot pad – here, the differences are partially balanced out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePad and Polish Recommendations for Both Random Orbital Types\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice of the right polishing pad and suitable polish depends not only on the paint condition but also on the machine type. The XCE forced-drive random orbital polisher unfolds its full potential with medium to aggressive pads and one-step polishes. A purple or orange medium pad in combination with a balanced abrasive polish is sufficient for the majority of defects – from light swirls to moderate scratches. For heavy defects, you can switch to a red cut pad with an aggressive compound polish. The constant forced rotation ensures that the abrasive particles break down evenly and the cutting power remains predictable throughout the polishing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe XFE free-spin random orbital polisher works best with soft to medium pads and finishing polishes. A black finishing pad with an ultra-fine polish delivers the hologram-free high-gloss result for which the XFE was built. But even with a medium pad and a one-step polish, the XFE achieves remarkable results – the 15 mm throw provides enough cutting power for light to moderate defects despite being free-spinning. The self-limiting characteristic of the free-spin protects against excessive cutting: Even if you choose an overly aggressive pad, the risk of damage is significantly lower than with forced-drive or rotary polishers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FLEX color-coding system helps with assignment: Pad colors are relatively consistent across manufacturers, and FLEX polishes are matched to FLEX pads. You don't need complex combination tables in everyday use – the basic rule is simple: More aggressive pad and polish for cutting on the XCE, soft pad and fine polish for finishing on the XFE. With this division, you cover 90 percent of all polishing situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding backing plate size: Both series use a 150 mm backing plate as standard, which offers the best balance of surface performance and control. For detail work on edges, creases, and small components, you can switch to 75 mm or 125 mm backing plates with suitable spot pads. The change is tool-free and takes only a few seconds – saving considerable time in the workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFLEX Random Orbital Polishers in Market Comparison – Honest Assessment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the field of FLEX random orbital polishers, the XFE and XCE series primarily compete with Rupes and Liquid Elements. Each manufacturer has its strengths, and the right choice depends on the individual application profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRupes offers the LHR21 Mark III, a free-spinning random orbital polisher with a 21 mm throw – significantly more than the 15 mm of the FLEX XFE. The larger throw provides measurably higher efficiency on large surfaces and is a noticeable advantage, especially when detailing large vehicles such as SUVs, vans, and buses. However, Rupes currently does not have a true forced-drive random orbital polisher in its range, which gives FLEX a clear advantage in product breadth. Those who want to cover both cutting and finishing and prefer a unified system will find a more complete offering from FLEX. The unified 18V battery platform, which connects all FLEX machine types, is another point that is not available from Rupes to this extent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLiquid Elements also offers forced-drive and free-spin random orbital polishers with the T4000 and T3000. These are significantly lower priced than FLEX, making them a viable entry-level option. However, in terms of build quality, smooth operation, and especially speed constancy under load, FLEX shows noticeable advantages that quickly become apparent with intensive use. The gearbox of the XCE machines operates quieter and more smoothly than comparable models from cheaper manufacturers, the vibration damping is more sophisticated, and the weight is better balanced. Those who use their machine for several hours daily benefit from FLEX's better ergonomics, reduced fatigue, and more reliable power delivery – and that makes the difference between a good and a strenuous workday in professional everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: FLEX offers the most balanced overall package of free-spin and forced-drive, a unified battery platform, and professional build quality in its random orbital polishers. Those who polish occasionally will find an affordable entry point with Liquid Elements. Those seeking maximum random orbital efficiency on large surfaces should consider the Rupes LHR21. And those who need a professional system for daily use that covers all polishing tasks from cutting to finishing will make the right choice with a FLEX random orbital polisher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA final thought on longevity: FLEX random orbital polishers are investments that, with good care, will work reliably for many years. Brushless motors eliminate the most common wear factor in power tools, and the robust gearbox design of the XCE series is designed for continuous use. Should a repair ever be necessary, FLEX, as a German manufacturer, offers reliable spare parts supply and a broad service network. This longevity distinguishes a professional tool from a consumable item – and is one of the reasons why investing in FLEX machines pays off in the long run, even if the purchase price is higher than budget alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"flex-xce2814ecc-8mm-exzenterpolierer-zwangsrotation-150mm","title":"\"XCE 2 8 14-EC C\" 8mm Dual-Action Polisher with Forced Rotation Ø150mm","description":"\u003ch2\u003eFLEX XCE 2 8 14-EC C – forced-rotation dual-action polisher for controlled paint correction with maximum efficiency\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat makes the FLEX XCE 2 8 14-EC C stand out?

That system is exactly what makes the FLEX XCE 2 8 14-EC C so interesting in pro detailing. Free-spinning DA polishers tend to lose their rotation when you push harder, but with forced rotation the plate keeps turning no matter what. You get noticeably more even material removal and far steadier polishing performance. On weathered paint, wash marring or everyday swirls, this tech keeps the machine working reliably and pulls defects down effectively. At the same time the finish stays controllable, because the dual-action motion cuts down the typical rotary holograms. That blend of control and power is what makes forced DA machines so valuable in pro use. You get very direct feedback off the surface, you can dial in pressure precisely, and you land repeatable results – whether you're working flat doors, busy bumpers or heavily contoured fenders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 8 mm orbit polisher in professional detailing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn \u003cstrong\u003e8 mm orbit polisher\u003c\/strong\u003e is seen in detailing as a really versatile throw size. Big-throw machines lean toward covering area fast, but at 8 mm the focus sits squarely on control, precision and even defect correction. That's exactly why the FLEX XCE 2 8 14-EC C is such a favourite with pro detailers after a machine for precise paint correction and efficient one-step passes. Match it with the right pads and polishes and you can work a huge range of paint conditions – from everyday swirls to more heavily weathered surfaces. The finely tuned speed range keeps things controlled across the whole job. The microprocessor electronics hold the speed steady, watch temperature and load, and give the machine a soft, controlled start. The result is very calm polishing behaviour with clear machine control. On longer passes or heavy correction that smoothness becomes a real edge, because it makes for fatigue-light work while sharpening your precision at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFLEX polisher technology and ergonomic design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003eFLEX polisher\u003c\/strong\u003e has stood for decades for professional machines in automotive detailing and paint refinishing. On the XCE 2 8 14-EC C that experience shows clearly in how the drivetrain, ergonomics and balance play together. The strong brushless motor delivers constant power transfer and runs efficiently and long – a key factor in day-to-day use. At the same time the newly developed high-performance gearbox cuts vibration and noise, so the machine runs noticeably quieter. Another big point is the extremely flat gear head. The reduced height puts the machine closer to the surface, which sharpens your control while polishing. On vertical panels, tight body sections or complex contours that advantage shows up straight away. Round it all off with ergonomic soft-grip zones and balanced weight distribution that let you guide the machine safely. For the working day the long power cable also gives you maximum freedom to move around the car.

Built for maximum control, smooth running and precise surface work, this machine pairs modern brushless motor tech with perfectly tuned orbital kinematics. It's exactly that combination that pulls paint defects like holograms, fine swirls or light scratches right down, without the usual risk of heat spikes or buffer trails you get on more aggressive machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn pro detailing it's not just about power – it's about controlled power. That's where the machine's 15 mm throw really shines: big enough to cut paint efficiently, yet fine enough for a dead-clean finish. Together with the free-spinning orbit you get a polishing system that works precisely even on sensitive clear coats and stays rock-steady the whole time. Backing it all up is modern microprocessor electronics that keep an eye on speed and load and hold an even performance from the first pass to the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15 mm orbital throw for efficient paint correction and a flawless finish.\u003c\/strong\u003e The big throw delivers noticeable defect correction, while the free-spinning movement keeps the result hologram-free.

On the XFE 2 15 14-EC C, the mix of 15 mm throw and free-spinning rotation lets the polishing motion adapt dynamically to the surface. Where rotary machines can bite hard, the orbital throw spreads the movement across the paint in an elliptical path. That gives you an even polishing action that knocks defects back while cutting the risk of hologram-style buffer trails right down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the machine is the latest-generation brushless motor. This tech runs more efficiently than classic motors and delivers steady, stable output. For you that means an even polishing motion, even when you lean on it or run bigger pads. That kind of consistency is exactly what gets you repeatable results in detailing – whether you're doing a one-step or a final finishing pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor is backed by smart microprocessor electronics that keep watch on speed and load. A tacho generator keeps the speed steady even under load. At the same time, built-in systems like overload protection, restart lockout and temperature monitoring look after the machine and help keep the work performance consistent across longer polishing sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecise machine control thanks to the flat gear head\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you polish, it's not just power that decides the result – it's control above all. That's exactly where the XFE 2 15 14-EC C shows its design strengths. The extremely flat gear head clearly shrinks the gap between the machine and the paint surface. That gives you a more direct link between your hand and the pad, which you really feel on big vehicle panels or complex body shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDay-to-day that means the machine steers more steadily, edges and contours can be worked more precisely, and you keep a clean feel for the polishing motion the whole time. Especially in the finishing stage – the last step of paint refinement – that control is what gets you a clear, hologram-free reflection in the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of that, the newly developed high-performance gearbox clearly cuts noise and vibration. Combined with ergonomic soft-grip areas, you get a machine that sits comfortably in the hand even on longer sessions and steers precisely. The result is a quiet, controlled way of working that, in pro detailing, makes the difference between good and perfect results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProfessional paint prep and a hologram-free finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfessional paint prep\u003c\/strong\u003e lives on the perfect mix of machine, polish and pad. That's exactly the job the XFE 2 15 14-EC C was built for. The 15 mm throw delivers effective defect correction with a very clean finish at the same time – a combo that matters most on modern clear coats. Fine swirls, holograms or light scratches can be knocked back on purpose, while the paint visibly gains depth and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe free-spinning orbit makes the machine especially versatile. It handles both one-step polishing, where defect correction and finish come together, and pure finishing passes where maximum gloss and depth are the focus. Paired with soft finishing pads and finely tuned polishes, you get an extremely clear paint surface with a strong reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to the stable speed range, the low-vibration run and the controlled orbital movement, the machine isn't just suited to classic automotive paint, but also to demanding surfaces in areas like marine or aviation. In every case the goal stays the same: controlled polishing, maximum surface quality and a finish that lifts the paint to a whole new level.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FLEX","offers":[{"title":"XFE 2 15 14-EC C \"532987\" \/ default","offer_id":57212485501263,"sku":"D1-FLEX-532987","price":419.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"XFE 2 15 14-EC C \"532987\" \/ + 1x Hook and Loop Backing Pad Special Ø125mm \"487953\"","offer_id":57233903518031,"sku":"D1-FLEX-532987+487953","price":441.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/flex-xfe21514ecc-15mm-exzenterpolierer-freilauf-150mm_532987.png?v=1773161304"}],"url":"https:\/\/detiiling1.com\/collections\/flex-exzenterpolierer.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
