Interesting, but are you supposed to buff with the edges of the pad like that? I thought I had read "keep it flat". :confused:

I was appalled at that guys buffing technique. No problem with the pad usage as those pads are tapered to be used like that (you can see it if you look closely). I was more concerned with the speed of the buffer and how the guy was all over the paint like a crazy man. Speed should never exceed 1750 rpm and the buffer should slowly be moved back and forth in overlapping motions. The way that guy was moving it would never give the product a chance to work as designed.

I believe that was a rat tail if I am correct! Good eye my friend - you are well skilled in the art of mullet hunting. Check www.mulletsgalore.com for a mullet classification on that guy.

I guess being in London, you must see more than your fair share. I went to that flea market out there about three months ago and I made my wife promise me to bring my camera the next time we go!

You know, it almost looks as though in the interest of time, they sped up the buffing part, so he may not have actually gone over it that fast....watch it again, seriously, I don`t know if anyone could keep up that speed for very long because their shoulders would get tired. It just looks TOOOOO fast.

You mean Gibralter Trade Center? Sweet Jesus, I went there to look at futons a few months back and had to take a shower when I got home. It was like being thrown into a white trash salad.
