What's in the box? Griot's GR3 Mini Rotary Polisher!

I let a student "try" to machine sand a headlight with a rotary buffer. I told EVERYONE ahead of time exactly what was going to happen. And it happened.

He tilted the backing plate/sanding disc for a brief moment and gouged into the plastic.

It took me about 30 minutes of block sanding to flatten out the plastic. Longer for the whole ordeal.

There's some people that will not listen, they have to make the mistake in order to learn.





Sometimes you just have to go old school and work by hand.

Me? I'm more of a BIG PICTURE detailer, I get cars real good. Perfection is a noble goal but usually never profitable or appreciated.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond, Mike. I'm glad I asked before I made the mistake

Now I just need to get out of Iowa for a few days and come to one of your classes.

Thanks,
Alex

If a person was really careful and was using slow RPM - like 400 to 600 RPM AND REALLY CAREFUL - and also using a interface pad with a foam cushioned sanding disc like Mirka Abralon, I'm sure it could be done. The thing is - most people don't have all the right products or tools that spin that slow.

I have all these things I still never use a rotary to machine sand headlights.

ThE most hands-on classes on Planet Earth. I prove it every time I have a class.
