Vibration.....

[imported_speedingpenguin]

Does anyone else have this problem when using a random orbital buffer? The thing vibrates so much that it hurts after a few minutes of using it! any tricks to beating this?

Yes, removing the handle helps, and the small breaks in between panels to reapply product helps. Also I`ve heard some people use mechanic`s gloves as a kind of shock absorber.

this thing doesnt have handles like some that i`ve seen....its just got a little grip on top and thats it....

i was stopping to switch covers on every pannel.....had one for getting the wax on nice and good, and another for getting it off. worked pretty good.

Hmm...i`ll try the gloves....

I use mountain biking gloves for some of my stuff - the full finger models. They have nice amounts of padding to stop vibrations, breathe very easily, and mine even have a soft terry cloth on the back of the thumb so you can wipe sweat off your forehead. :xyxthumbs

The $300 answer to this question is "buy a Cyclo"

If you already have the pc, don`t bother with the cyclo. Get a rotary instead if you need to remove anything that you can`t get out with a pc.

if you`re reffering to a PC 7424 0r 7335 I think you may solve your problem with a $5 item...go get a "6 inch counterweight"...the "6 inch" means for a 6 inch pad...the weight isn`t 6 inches...you can find out if it`s a 5 inch by removing the backing plate and looking at the label on the half moon shaped counterweight.

nah...no PC here....just this buffer

Until i get a job and get a car that needs it, i`m fine with the buffer......
