Yup, this is a circular/rotary polisher. My other one is a PC. It's my first to own a rotary and/or a Flex.

In some degree, I like it's ability to make paint corrections in less time than using a PC. I find this easy to control (with very minimal vibration) because of the lesser range of speed and is less noisier than other polishers I've used or seen.

I still like my PC but I'm now reserving that for light to moderate projects.

I can't comment on other Flex machines but I must say I'm happy with this model.

gas stations, hardware stores, just bring a container when you buy...

no dilution ang kerosene, just make sure you wipe it away after the stain is removed, and not let it stay on your paint for too long...

Pad cleaner? Nice

[indiej]

This is my pad washer using a bucket with cover, grit guard, an aquarium water pump with suction cups and some fittings that came with it and some useful clutter I found in storage. Inspired by the System 2000 and Univerversal Pad Washer.

Cover the other grit guard with a cotton terry towel with long naps and wedge it on another bucket for drying -- inspired by "How to clean your foam pad on the fly" by Mike Phillips. Some tweaks here and there over time.


I was gonna point the tip of the tube upwards and control the jet by drilling holes but the tube came with holes and the jets from the holes are more suitable, so the tip became the jet control. Cap the tip with a flow control or position it flush to the bucket to retard the flow through it such that the jet height at the holes suits your purpose. Prop the pump higher from the bottom of the bucket. I used a plate from a steamer in the kitchen, you could also carve an indent for it on top of a block of foam just to give you an idea.




To turn on the water pump, I wired it to a doorbell button, 1 wire through it then to the plug of the pump, the other direct to the other terminal of the plug. Cover with some plastic and back it with a PVC electrical box, you get the idea, make it waterproof. Step on it to jet while cleaning your pad on your machine.

Might as well have some fun with it:p. This submersible water pump is rated 400 Liters/hour. Less powerful pumps will do. There are also units with adjustable flow rates.


Back to serious business.


A pretty strong magnet.


I removed the activated carbon filter so it won't mess with the pad cleaning solution. I put the magnet instead, then the foam filter. That'll catch some grit and fibers just in case. This is more useful in 2-bucket car washing. The pump will fit without the tube and using a half inch cover with foam filter on the suction side. Or go without the pump, go nuts and drop a can of magnets over/under the grit guard!

I hope this thing turns on a few light bulbs and spring out different versions/builds.

Ingenious design. Better have it patented bro

[indiej]

thanks. it's pretty simple as you can see. for the budget conscious. i'd be thrilled to see how far they take this. i'm glad to be of help.

if you're not in a handy mood, the magnets for the 2 bucket wash is simple enough. afterwards, post pics of what the magnets dragged in.
