Leather treatment

How much is necessary to do I decemt polishing/waxing?



I saw something at Lowes(like home depot) called the wax master. It was 29.99. Said 3000 rpm is this enough?

Well lets start with the basics. RPM is for a rotary buffer, and OPM is for an orbital machine. I am familar with the "Waxmaster" and its an orbital. It will be useful for removing wax and removing other products, but that is about it. They don`t really have enough power to remove swirls or correct surface damage. If you just want something to remove the wax from your car, then it`s fine for that use.

so how many opms is enough?

[BradE]

Depends on what you are doing. The waxmaster is not going to be powerful enough to remove and swirls or surface damage.

[themush]

I need to remove medium swirl marks.

I hear alot about the Porter cable, what is the top speed of that

[BradE]

Well if you need to remove swirls the waxmaster is not going to do the job. The Porter Cable *might* do the trick, it`s hard to say with out seeing it. The Porter Cable has a top speed of 6,000 OPM. But the main thing is that is has a 3.7 amp motor where as the "Waxmaster" is not even 1 amp. Lowes sells the Porter Cable for $109 and the model is 7336SP.



Then when you get into rotary buffers they have 8-10 amp motors, that is in part why they are not for beginners but can produce amazing results. :up

I searched but confused myself. Im looking for a leather final treatment that can be used indoors/outdoors. I bought a VX5000 steam cleaner (AWESOME device!) but now my recliner looks dry. I really don`t care for Lexol products either. Any easy apply/wipe off products that you guys recommend??? Thanks!

I really like the Leather Masters products. I have used both the strong cleaner and the protection cream and love them both.

I never heard of Leather Masters. I`ll look into it, thanks.
