Adamized Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 This weekend I want to detail my Acura. I have a polisher that is random orbital sort of, Harbour Freight tool. Anyways, where in MA can I go out and buy 6.5 inch polishing pads? Obviously it won't be Adams but oh well. Need to learn how to use it.

If it is what I think it is you aren't gonna be able to use foam pads with it anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came with a 6.5 inch polishing pad that you screw on and is interchangable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Team Adam's Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 2nd one. What you bought then is a rotary polisher, not a random orbital. According to the site it runs at 1000-3500 RPM (revolutions per minute) not OPM. I'd highly recommend if you're not experienced with machine polishing you not take that to your paint. You risk doing some serious damage and/or will likely introduce holograms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ian6 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 if you just found adams your paint is most likely not in the shape that you will be able to correct it in one weekend anyways... machine polishing with the pc isnt hard but its not exactly easy either, it takes practice. welcome aboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
