First time with the PE8

[Justin at Final Inspection]

Got my PE8 last week and was itching to try it out. So I decided to pull off my rear license plate and polish the panel behind it.

As you can see. It was pretty nasty.



I decided on a 2 in pad with FG400 to do the first step. Just like any polisher I primed the pad and went to town. Because of the small diameter in pad size I kept the dial at around 2 max. This was plenty of speed for this job.




As you can see, I was able to fit into all the tight areas. The machine ran nice and smooth and is very quiet.




After the FG400, I used the black 2 in pad with SF4000 to finish with. Then recoated that area with BF Crystal coating.

Here it is all polished but before the coating.



Overall the machine is perfect for intricate detail work. My only little issue is the side mounted rocker switch. I feel a pressure switch would be better suited.

Awesome Justin! Way to put that precision polisher to use. Thanks for sharing.

I would love to have seen a trigger switch like its bigger brothers.

Wow! I would almost hate to put the plate back on and cover that up! Nice job with a nice machine and not all of us can do that. Enjoy it.

Wow! Amazing job! That sure eliminated those nasty water spots.

Seems like the PE8 is worth it for jobs like these.

It looks beautiful!

For an area like that, I usually have to polish by handle.

Could not agree more!! Trigger is better than thumb operated toggle

Great job man. It is a great little tool. I totally agree with you on the switch being a pain.

I hate that rocker switch. It was said to be a safety feature.
