Mothers Wax Attack Palm Polisher
Hey All,
I'm new to the forums, but I've been trolling a lot to find information on some new car care products.
I have a 2 year old e92 M3 that has never been detailed. The paint is white so the minor swirls are barely noticeable.
I don't really have the time to do a full lengthy detail and honestly the car doesn't even really need it. I do however want to protect the paint from the harsh winter weather.
I have this mother wax attack polisher that I bought years ago, and I was wondering if I can buy new pads for this thing, get a AIO product like the Optimum poli-seal, and just do a quick detail job, top it off with a Wolfgang sealant and call it a day.
On the mothers website they only sell one pad. Will any of the pads on here work with it?
I guess I'm just looking for some feedback on how I can do this myself while being a noob detailer.
Also, I just ran out of Lexol leather conditioner. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on wolfgang leather conditioner, I've been reading great things about it.
thanks all,
Chris

In the picture, because of the hole it might be that it's held on by a fastening device?
Or does the back of the foam pad have Velcro?

Since white doesn't show swirls and scratches as easily as other colors, this polisher should work well for applying any type of wax or paint sealant, you won't get much correction power from it but it should do a great job of spreading out a wax or sealant and leaving a thin coating.
If you want some cleaning action you could use it with a light polish or even a cleaner/wax...

Wolfgang Leather Care Conditioner works great but remember, this is just the conditioner/protectant... if your leather is dirty at all you'll also want a leather cleaner...
You can get a combination kit with both the cleaner and the conditioner protectant here,
Wolfgang Leather Care Combo
Remember, anywhere your skin touches leather you're going to introduce sweat, oils, acids, and anything you put on your skin, (lotion, sun block, etc.), and these areas tend to attract dirt and grime, so don't seal these areas with a conditioner/protectant without first cleaning.
I sent Forrest an e-mail asking him to chime in...

A youtube video shows it to be velcro.

Re: Mothers Wax Attack Palm Polisher
Yeah, its velcro.
So this thing wont get rid of many swirls huh?

Re: Mothers Wax Attack Palm Polisher
The backing is Velcro. Since the machine is made for applying product and not paint correction we only offer the one pad for it.
If you're looking to do correction there are better choices in machines.

I'm out at lunch typing on my iPhone. I'll look when I get back.

Re: Mothers Wax Attack Palm Polisher
I think the stock pad is 6.2 Inches

Re: Mothers Wax Attack Palm Polisher
The overall pad width is 6.5". The velcro backing plate is 5.25".
Our pads for that machine are made by Lake Country. Eric there would know what pads would work.
