Re: DIY for Budget — Black and Decker KP-600 DA Velcro Hook and Loop "Implant"
I am one who likes to modify tools to get the job done such as what you have done here. Thanks for sharing your project and photos with us. Let us know how your first detail works out with it.
My honest thoughts and feedback are that the machine will not have enough speed and power to rotate the pads that you will be using with it preventing any paint correction ability. The adhesive on the strips will probably not hold strong enough for changing pads either.
I am not typically a negative person but I have my doubts that this will work out in the end. As I said above, let us know how it works out.
Here is a similar project that I did. Flex 3401 backing plate surgery

Re: DIY for Budget — Black and Decker KP-600 DA Velcro Hook and Loop "Implant"
First, I must say your English is actually not that bad. I have read much much worse lol!
Second, that is a really great idea. I dont think you will have any problems with it. Those machines are not typically made for "correcting"-I doubt it does very much on clearcoat but in doing this I think you have increased it's ability to "correct" on single stage paints. In the past I have used a similar Turtle Wax brand buffer on a single stage VW while using the bonnets and the results were not too bad.
When using it to polish I would not recommend using any type of Diminishing abrasive because it may not be able to break down the abrasives properly. You probably want to stick to something like Megs SMAT technology.
Again, great idea! I think I will try it on my old buffer as well. Please let us know how it works.

Great job on the DIY, write-up, and pics. You could have used industrial, heavy-duty velcro for a better "hold". The HD sticks very well.

Re: DIY for Budget — Black and Decker KP-600 DA Velcro Hook and Loop "Implant"
I LIKE IT!!!
May not have the 'horse power' for correction, but with the small size and popping on some 4" pads, I think it would be great for LSP application.
I've got a couple of old 6 inch 'orbitial polishers'...gonna have to play.
Thanks for the idea.
