Long story, but I have one. These things cost about $50. Tried to search the archives but didn't see anything on this particular model.
It is 1.5 amps, 10,500 OPM (fixed).
It has a base for random orbit polishing (6" round), that accepts hook and loop pads.
Question: will it work for swirls?
I tried it on my wifes swirled black car (lots of swirls) using the included foam pad and 3M SMR for dark cars. Didn't appear to do much, but maybe that's because the swirls were too major for the 3M SMR.
But, I wonder if I went ahead and got other pads, plus something like
DACP if it would work.
The speed is high, but the amps aren't that much. Still better than some of the cheap orbitals with only 0.5 amps...
Is it worth my time to investigate?
Anyplace I can pick up decent pads locally? (I'm in Orange County, CA).
My gut feeling is that with a stronger polish and a good polishing pad that maybe it should work for mild to medium swirls. But I could be wrong...
Thanks,
Dom
