Re: Video: How to restore clarity to cloudy, hazy yellowed headlights using the Diamondite Clear Plastic Polishing System
Very cool Mike. Top notch.
What is the recommended rpm range for using the Diamondite System via the rotary buffer?

Hi Erik,
Long time no see!

The recommended speed for a rotary buffer is a max of 1800 RPM, but anywhere from 1500 RPM to 1800 RPM is a good range for operating a rotary buffer. With a rotary buffer it's easy to generate a lot of heat fast so you want to be careful you don't get the plastic too hot.

Can a DA be used? You don't mention that in your video.

How effective is a DA for this purpose? More so or less than a drill?

Because a drill is direct drive, it's more effective, especially if the plastic is in really bad shape. The smaller size of the pads in the kit do help though and so does the fact that the are very thin, this helps them to rotate better.
A corded drill works better than a rechargeable drill also as there's now issues with battery running down as you're working.
