Title: buffer/polisher recommendations
Post by: DDM on June 07, 2014, 09:14:07 am

hi all, what i'm after is a small buffer polisher, i already have a sealey buffer and polisher that i use for work ect which i've linked below for a reference, but it's fairly big/heavy and no good for geting in to the small bits if you know what i mean, ( a bit numb), so i'm after something a lot smaller which would be good to use when say buffing motorbikes farings ect, can anyone give me some advice on what's best? cheers.

Hi I would pay a little extra and go for a dodo juice spin doctor, which is an entry level rotary.

You'd be better off buying a used 3M rotary or a flex.

Dodojuice rotaries aren't really any better than silverline ones and twice the price... loud and vibration filled so not nice for long periods of time...

I made the mistake of buying a silver line it's a beast and hard to control for a noob.

I won't be buying any silverline stuff. I want something that'll last.
