Waipor Neutral Newbie April 22, 2004 Share April 22, 2004 used before, found it too trouble some having to handle the wires. also quite difficult to use, not enough power, so back to the mannual way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chippz Neutral Newbie April 22, 2004 Share April 22, 2004 maybe u apply too much wax izit... thats why diff to buff off?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Supersonic April 22, 2004 Share April 22, 2004 but if u hv a cordless drill, can juz buy head adaptor. tried those cheapo yellow coloured ones many yrs ago. wires get in the way and no power. oso difficult to use esp if u hv to avoid black plastic trim.

Acemundo Supercharged April 22, 2004 Author Share April 22, 2004 its not the buffing off part leh..its the polishing part. suppose to apply circular motion and can't bee too soft, otherwise impurities will not get out of paintwork? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemundo Supercharged April 22, 2004 Author Share April 22, 2004 haven't seen cordless polisher before. but drills? do they work the same way if got head adaptor? but if wires no power wouldn't it be worst for battery operated ones? yeah prob for areas near the plastic rims will still use hand but the most siong bonnet, doors and car roof can use this polisher will save great deal of trouble.

Avenso Neutral Newbie April 22, 2004 Share April 22, 2004 Cigarette lighter operated polishers are a joke. Do not waste your money (about $25) buying them. Even the Black & Decker 60 watts polisher (about $90 on offer now) is good for applying wax only -- not polishing. Most corded polishers have their cords coming out from the back of the machine. The trick is to place the cord on your shoulder (right shoulder if you are right handed) as you use it to polish. Wise to have it plugged to an ELCB or RCCB. It is very important to note that you can easily shear off the paint of raised edges of the bodywork if you put too much pressure or stay too long in the same position during waxing/polishing work. Take extreme care. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
