#80 & #83 with Random Orbital

[kastanaras]

Well I just got these two new products and a new random orbital and having few problems.

First did small test spot few days ago and cleaned up alot of the light scratches on my 1996 dark blue mercedes c-class but now I tried to do more around test spot and can't seem to get same results.

I washed the pads and wondering if there was tiny bit of water in them would that affect the chemicals doing there job.

This random orbital is weird, it doesn't seem to spin when I start putting pressure down, just seems to vibrate.

I am getting some hazzing, I tried working the product longer, shorter, slower, just about everything and can't seem to get some really really light scratches out.

Does the pad need to spin round for it to work or does the vibration and slow spinning work aswell.

Well hope someone can help, the machine is the Bosch 270AE.

Pads I tried were Megs 8006 and 9006 Pads. Each Product had there own pad, also what type of cloth do I need to use to clean them while they are being used.

From what I read, random orbital doesn't spin, it does the circular motions your hand does when you wax a car. That's just about all i know I don't have a porter cable.....yet.

KEEP AT IT AND TRY AGAIN. NOT FAMILILAR WITH THOSE PRODUCTS......

NOT SURE .BUT MY MIND TELLS ME TO ONLY USE DRY PADS......I DO.....

ITS AN ORBITAL. NOT A ROTARY....IT VIBRATES ON A SPINNING AXIS....

TRY DOING SMALLER AREA'S AND WORK THE POLISH TILL ALMOST DRY....

VIBRATION......

you need a pad cleaning brush.......

Foam Pad Conditioning Brush cleans and reconditions foam and wool pads on the buffer. remove excess caked wax and polish from buffing pads.

It could be you simply cannot see it spinning. Use a black permanent marker, and mark a line down the side of the pad, and you will see it spinning.

If you use TOO much pressure, this will stop it from spinning or "jiggling".


Try the 7006 pad. Use speed 4 or 4.5 (#80) and light to medium pressure. Work for about 3 minutes. Use speed 5 or 6 (#83) and heavy pressure. Work for 5-7 minutes.

Sorry, I cannot comment on the machine. I use a Porter Cable.



Hope this helps..
