FS - Biltema random orbital polisher - dual head, variable speed + pads
As title.
Got too many polishing machines now, so I need to get rid of my faithful Biltema. Got it from a member on .org, has been solid and tackled a fair few cars with ease. They are the same shape and layout as the cyclo ones - but with the added bonus of being variable speed - great for working different types of polish and glaze. The Machine is UK 3 pin - no need for a transformer (although I have cracked the plug when I took it out of the bag this morning, will get this replaced!) Machine also comes with some pads, a set of light cut, set of polish and a set of finishing (which are all used, but OK) A new set of heavy cut and a new set of light cut/finishing. These alone are worth over £50 and will last forever! Because they have a velcro backing plate, any 3.5"/4" pads will fit, without the need for a second set of backing plates. If you need some polish to start off with, let me know and if I have something suitable I will get you enough to do a car to get you started! Because of the size I would prefer collection, but I could probably get DHL/Parcelforce to come and collect it for around a tenner. I'm looking for £50 collection from Birmingham B71 2 - J1 off M5 or J9 off M6 (both 2 mins away) Happy to meet close by for anyone coming a long way. Postage will be around £10 due to size. Paypal OK, Bank Transfer to HSBC preferred (NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- paypal fee's!) Photo's |

I've awlays considered one of these but am a tad worried that i may end up damaging the paintwork when using one.
How easy is this to use? ATB Andy |

Because it is random orbital you do not run the risk of burning through the paint like you would with a rotary.
few lines of polish, set it to speed two to spread it, crank it up to speed 4 for several passes then back to speed two to get it to haze and then buff off with a microfibre! This was the tool of choice for me until I mastered the art of using a rotary! Hope that helps! Paul |
