Recommend A Rotary Buffer?

[supersub14 1]

My rotary buffer blew up there at the weekend (it was 15 years old afer all!) so im looking a new one. What do you recommend??

 

Lookin to get a half decent variable speed one as it gets a lot of use so thinking of spending £50-£100 approx. Last one cost me £200 at the time of purchase and served me well.

 

Been looking at the Sealy CLICK HERE

 

Any one used it??

Here is a good site for detailing info CLICKIEROO.

 

I bought a Clarke one from Machine Mart myself because ebay had rubbish when i wanted one, if that one was on ebay at the time else i would have got that one. Don't bother buying pads from there as they are harder to use than the thin type you can buy, the above site suggests the best pads to use.

cheers, ill register and check it out.

 

I usually use the 3m foam pads and G3 paste so ill see what this site says!

Check out tool station,they have some stonking prices on there tools and if memory serves me delivery is free on orders over a tenner.

get a silverline one, has soft start and variable speed and is a bargain.

Toolstation didnt have many to choose from unfortunately. Yeah im torn between the Silverline one at £40 and the Kestrel Sim180 at £60 Think im siding more towards the Kestrel one as it has a "lock on" switch. Going against my early Sealey choice as it has a pretty high rpm at its slowest speed.

 

I must add that that was a great forum to recommend SurGie!! Piles of info on it and a great help in choosing a buffer. Also recommended the right buffing pads and polish i should be using

lol yeah i would of done if they were still available!!

 

Ive made my decision and bought a SIM180 from cleanyourcar.com as they were the cheapsest postage to NI. Hope its nice and dry this weekend so i can give it a blast
