Dremel Expierment?????

[kcopwa1]

Hi,

Any recommendations on the best brushes/tools to remove wax from crevices?

For instance:

a) http://properautocare.com/twowmindetbr.html (`http://properautocare.com/twowmindetbr.html`)
b) http://properautocare.com/nookcranwhee.html (`http://properautocare.com/nookcranwhee.html`)
c) http://properautocare.com/br-de.html (`http://properautocare.com/br-de.html`)
d) Wooden toothpicks?
e) Other?
f) All of the above?! :-)

Thanks!

An old toothbrush along with a spritz of QD works great for removing wax residue from around badges and trim.

So I went to the Churches Rummage Sale today and ran across this a Dremel hand held mini sander Da Rules!

Its seems I have seen before where someone had modified theres into a mini buffer for the tight spots :confused:

I paid $5 for the whole lil set-up, comes w/a tackle box looking outfit. The owner actually saw me buying it and asked > "So, you got a wood project in mind for that?"....I replied > "No, I`m gonna use it to buff out my car" :out:

I was wondering if anyone knew "where/how" to "purchase/setup" something like this "pads/adapters" I look forward to all responses :toetap05:

I do not have the wherewithall to post pics :redface:

I tried 1 time on another site for 3 hours, no luck :banghead:

However, I have already made it 1 of my New Years Resolutions, to learn how to do this :)

A Dremel is like a mini-rotary. My Dremel came with a small buffing pad; I believe it`s wool, but not sure, I`ve never used it.

I suspect it would be for small polishing projects like model airplanes, model cars..... and of course, tight areas on full size cars!!!

But because a Dremel is a relatively high RPM tool, make sure you practice on an old fender.... you never know how much cut that thing will have!!!

You`ve got PM.

Don`t dremels spin at some crazy RPM like 35,000 with no load?

What size pad are you going to use? I would imagine that once you put the pad (spinning way too fast) on the paint you are going to get an extremely bog (who knows how fast it will spin). Sound`s like a good way to break a dremel or the paint....

Well it seems I`ve seen where someone has done this before, maybe not.

The thing does have a switch that goes from 1-10, and yes on 10 it spins like crazy.I figure I`ll get the job done twice as quick

I`m not sure what pad I will use on this or even if I will do anything at all.

As far as taering up the Dremel, it was only a fiver and the money went to missions... so who cares. As far as paint burn, I have always used my M.I.L. cars for any weird expierments I may have... once again who cares

Thank You for your imput though

I don`t get it, Gordon. Isn`t the largest Dremel pad like the size of a dime? Maybe I`m thinking of something else?

Thats right JH, I`m looking for some dime size wool/foam pads....You got any :drool5:














































Seriously though, it seems I`ve seen someone rig up something were they used 2"/3" pads..... Maybe it was just another 1 of my Chantix dreams Sleep

I`ve got two Dremels: one that`s about 45 yrs old and still crankin` and a newer two speed model. I`ve been using the latter on oxidized engine parts in the engine bay of the old Benz. A felt pad and a little Flitz brightens up metal that would take a hundred hours to polish by hand.

They do operate at 25K + revs, so the margin for error is really slim. I don`t think that I could ever use it on a painted surface, regardless of the pad. Their small felt pads at those speeds would burn through in a heartbeat. :banghead:
