Cool thread, Mike.
I actually have hundreds and hundreds of hours on those exact machines, only I used them on boat hulls.
Holding one of these heavy SOB's up all day really separates the men from the boys. Lol
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Thanks Paul.
I was interview by
Pro Detailer Magazine
I believe my interview will be in the November issue.
And one of the pictures I sent them for the interview was of my first rotary polisher. For reference, I wanted a dedicated thread with the pictures that tells the story.

That's tough work.
For anyone that's never buffed out a boat before, and I mean larger boats, not dingys, the shape of the boat hull is typically v-shaped at least to some degree. This means as you run a buffer down the side of a boat you have to push out away from your body, which makes buffing a boat physically demanding.

I've seen this up close!
Can not imagine the hours it took to wear down the plastic and aluminum!
But guess what---He the man to go to, to get the latest info regarding tools and polishes.
The real deal. If he says to get it or to buy it...I buy it.
Saves me years on the learning curve. Short cut from point A to point B!
Thanks Mike....

Re: My original Makita 9207 SPC Rotary Polisher - Mike Phillips
My 2nd Polisher I bought was this Milwaukee 5260 (I think) in 1993,my Makita got stolen.,,it's been through the ringer and the variable speed control crapped out along with the detachable cord,,it's still working but it's so heavy I can't sand to use it anymore except on hoods,trunks and roof panel.
My current rotarys are a Makita 9227 and a 9237
