Should I buy this polisher from harbor frieght?

[corvetteman]

I have a harbor frieght near me so I could pick one up local. Any idea where I could get pads to fit it? You seem to be reccomending it but I`m not sure, lol

You don`t use a rotary buffer to remove wax, that`s not what it`s intended for and a good way to mess up your paint.

There should be no need to put lots of pressure on panels so they start bending........its no wonder you`re getting sore arms!!

My tool of choice is the Cyclo Polisher, but since you said you`re cheep I won`t suggest it. The PC from all I`ve heard and read is an awesome piece of equipment. The Chicago Electric Polisher/Sander that you are thinking about buying at Harbor Freight may serve your purpose. Good luck on whatever you decide to buy.

If you are having trouble removing Klasse products, you need to read Bill North`s comments on the Wipe on Wipe Off method. You are either leaving the product on to long or applying to much.

spree17, sorry it takes me a long time to get back to replies, I don`t do Autopia too often. The Harbor freight rotary is just that ....a variable speed rotary. It will do anything the more expensive models will do for the most part. By that I mean it is not going to have the power that a Makita or other expensive model has but that is not what make a rotary the tool it is. Those are professional products for people who use their tools for many hours and it pays to buy longevity and quality. Any pad will fit a rotary according to the backing plate on it. The 7" velcro is a popular one and many pads are available that fit it whether it be Maguiar`s , Edge or whatever. What you are getting for the price with the Chicago simply cannot be beat. It is bottom dollar at the retail end unless someone gives you an inside deal or selling one second hand at a garage sale price. I am saying for the price I have one and can attest that it is worth the price.
