Polishing Mops?
 

:D After breaking my 2nd cruddy car polisher from Hellfrauds i've bought a 2100W Bosch angle grinder from the police auctions!. Got transformer, now all I need is some pointers as to where I would get a good polishing mop for it.:confused:

Does the angle grinder have speed control?

You could quite easily rip the paint clean off using an angle grinder with a polishing head on. It will spin way to fast.

Also as it will only spin in circles it is not ideal and for pro's only. A double action unit is much safer as it spins and 'wobbles' making it much easier to use.

Although polishers look like angle grinders, they run at a much lower speed and grinders should not be used as polishers if you value your car and paintwork.

Angle grinder starting speed is faster than my makita at full tilt, and i've never needed to go past speed 3 out of the 6 available!

My advice would be to put it on eBay and pick up a used Porter Cable/Megs G220/UDM

You could also use a Metabo Sxe450 Duo or the new Turbo version. Although sold as a sander, it does, in kit form, come with 2 polishing heads and a polishing mop. Variable speed and dual Random orbit. Superb machine, several car restorers use them to polish their cars.

Also comes with 3 year's warranty :D

As stated previously... Do Not use a grinder, far too fast :(

Has anyone pointed out that a grinder/ sander is too fast yet...?

Damn. Someone should have mentioned that :bowdown::bowdown:

If you want a cheap unit, thry Silverline Orange......

:confused: Someone mentioned that the grinder may be a bit fast, have any of you heard this wicked rumour before?? lol. THANKS! :D

its not a rumour. normal rotary speeds for paint correction range from 600-1800rpm (ish) and its adjustable for spreading, working and refining process. angle grinders can have single speeds of 11000rpm. it will burn your paint right off your car.
