Hello, well firstly to tell you the truth, thats actually the same random orbital sander my BF used, and i think thats what they call the Unano for some reason i don't know why, but even if we use it and its given us great results, i won't recommend it, why? because it lacks the power to do the corrections and it jumps a lot, we had to bring it to raon and have a friend of ours change the motor inside to a motor that has a lower frequency and a higher voltage with the same wattage, the price is pretty much the same here yours cheaper by just a few hundreds, 5.5 to 6.5 inch pads are what we use with it, so bottom line if you're game to have the motor replaced and risk voiding the warranty then its a good tool for polishing and removing light swirls but only up to that ok, but if you're gonna use it stock, its still good for waxing and applying products but not working them, see if you use it stock, if you're at the store and you want to test it, try to turn it on and put it against your hand with a little pressure don't worry it won't hurt you, about 5 to 10lb pressure, you'll be surprised it will stop spinning, it will oscillate but you won't get any rotation, and rotation is one of the key actions to correct paint, and one other thing even when we've already changed the motor, we still had to turn it up to 4 to 5 just to be able to correct light swirls and again its still very much limited in terms of correction, but for waxing jobs its a damn good workhorse and it doesn't bog down and heat up too fast.

You should have waited for a detail seminar to buy those microtex products, we usually get granted 10% discount on their items hehe

As for the products you've bought, you only need one more item which is a decent polish like Mothers Power Polish, SwirlX or ScratchX and you're good to go, you can already go and tackle some serious defects with that line up.

Hey guys! i forgot to announce, there's a sort of detailing event at Rockwell tomorrow where our friends from Hillsborough Car Spa are doing a live detail on Lamborghini's, Porsche's, and some Rolls Royce's if im not mistaken, i'll try to make it there if i finish with my divisoria shopping early, i think edwin will also be there in the morning and go around the area, some of the products used in the details are Microtex Products. So try to be there, you'll definitely learn a lot from them by watching professionals work.

Wash + Collinite 476S + Microtex NanoSLIQ + OGE






Pero naambunan naman kanina . Ginamitan ko ONR cleaning QD yung ibang parts ng oto. Yung iba punas na lang.

*PSI
Ok naman siya, kumapit naman siguro OGE.

*madkatz
Ma'am absolutely no pressure po ba kapag nag-aapply ng ONR QD? Do I need to spray QD on the MF before spraying on the paint? Hehe alam mo naman tayo kapag tamad bara-bara na lang hahaha. Pero di ko naman nilalagyan ng heavy pressure kapag nagpupunas ako with ONR QD.

Hehe you could put a little im just thinking that friction might be the cause although it shouldn't, hmmm why not try a different QD for a few days and see what happens.

Yung output power niya is 240watts.. Yung portercable 500watts so baka kulang din sa power yung dewalt.


Sir eto check nyo nag bebenta ata sila ng PorterCable products diyan sa SG

mam madkatz hopefully maipasok ko na eto ke master before 1st week of aug...

*JM and Weszt: i just checked, the output power is 120watts only the input is 240watts, yeah portercable goes up to 500 watts, makita 9227c is at 1100 watts i think? i maybe wrong, and the wp1300 is at 1300 watts, so if its really 120 watts then its really not gonna correct that well, better invest on a proper buffing machine, its gonna at least give you the desired results, and if you're gonna get a PC its well worth the money you put into it, either that or try to get a wp1300 and just have someone teach you how to polish, you can't apply wax with it though, why not get the bosch and the BnD wp1300? see just to give you an idea, even a PC 7424xp can't tackle serious defects, it can tackle moderate defects but not the serious ones for the serious ones you really need a rotary, so if a PC can't tackle serious defects and can only tackle moderate to light defects, im really not sure if that'll make the cut, we had our bosch modified simply because we made the exact same mistake thinking we could get away with it, and even though after the modification we could only still tackle light defects because we can't change the input and output power ratio, the only thing we changed was the motor, so if you're just gonna spend on a polisher better get one thats really gonna the all the things you want it to do.

Ohh you don't need both SwirlX and ScratchX, just one will do, and the mothers power polish is just an alternative, sorry i meant you need a polish either SwirlX or ScratchX or Powerpolish you only need one among the 3.

Megs Deep Crystal is used as a finishing polish and AG SRP is like a AIO sealant.
