Review on πŸ” OTUAYAUTO 7 Inch Variable Speed Polisher with 5 Pad Buffing and Polishing Kit - High Performance, Includes 6" Waffle Foam & 7" Wool Grip Pads for Auto Detailing by Ronnie Saylor

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Set of 3 8 " wool buffs with 7 " hook base NOT 5/8 ". #11 thread

- as long as they fit in my toolbox This set contains 3 large 8" wool buffs inch diameter, folded edges, and a "loopback" backing (for Velcro closure). the included 7" hook support pad. DO NOT screw onto a standard angle grinder arbor as the threads are NOT STANDARD. Although a coarse 5/8" #11 mandrel is listed as a common mandrel size for rotary tools, including burnishers, this backing pad is NOT threaded for it. The mills all spin between 9000 and 10000 RPM, which EXCEEDS the limit for this set - max .8500rpm I should use a special burnisher at a slower speed preferably with a random orbit for best results Check your tool RPM before attempting this!Also because the thread on the backer is NOT STANDARD is, good luck. Minus 2 stars. I liked the thick wool hats and the turned up edges that reduce the chance of bumping anything. A light touch is best. If the hat is too overgrown with wax or any debris, think I don't think it can be washed except by hand.They scatter wool fibers and for safety reasons at least one personal sc goggles required. The fibers can also be sucked into the polishing motor, which is dangerous. The mask is also a good idea. I can hardly give a very qualified 3 star recommendation for this OTUAYAUTO Store Auto Care Wool Polishing Pad 3pcs. 8" (230mm) 100% Wool Velcro Pads and 1pc 5/ 8-11 Buffer Base Plate. The base plate thread is NOT as advertised, closer to 14mm with 2mm thread pitch. Proper rotary buffing tool MUST be used at low speed. Not mine choice to use. I hope you found the information in my review helpful.

Pros
  • Easy to use and maintain
Cons
  • Many items
