Can I use the grinder as a buffer to polish a waxed car?

This grinder even with a buffing wheel is just too fast and powerful and would definitely burn right through the clear and paint. Much better off purchasing an inexpensive automotive random orbit polisher. Your car will thank you for it.

DITTO....I would not.....the RPM s (revolutions per minute), are different... the wheel would heat up...the grinder is way too fast

I was thinking to do the same thing but I haven't done it yet. You can try and if you feel that it suffers and start overheating that it s not good to continue because it may burned out.

No do not it will burn the paint you need a random orbital type.This ONE IS TOO FAST too many rpms and only one direction will cause swirls ! A random orbital is mush slower and rotates in one direction! It only takes me about 40 min to do my whole truck,put the wax on a clean washed finish and then take it off with the orbital.Do get the one with the highest amperage thou.Generaly the higher amps cost a little more but it will last nuch longer than a lower amp rated one.Been doing vehicles for many years .Jack

I do not know if a buffing pad is available. The rpms may be too high for that & could burn the paint.

Absolutely not. I use the provided tail to remove the wax. A buffer for polishing. It turns out great.

Yes, but heavily cavioted. It really depends on the subsurface of the material that you have paint on as what do do. As with any grinder it is very aggressive by its very nature. If you are removing paint an rust from steel, then a wire wheel with the proper sheilding and face guard will work. Let the wheel work, dont bear down. From wood, I'd recommend a sanding disk and again with the proper sheilding and face guard

Yes, I'm pretty sure you could, if purchase the right grinder adapter made for it. However, keep in mind, this high speed buffer and are intended for buffing purpose only. My recommendation is to buy the right machine that is made for grinding, plus machine is not a heavy duty which made for heavy grinding and you probably will be disappointed if use this machine for others than buffing.

Yes, You can buy the buffer pads to use on car wheels or on heavy bake wear. It is Black & Decker #SBP4.

Hello! I really don't know I use it for exterior vehicle wax and it works well on them.

You can use a regular (3 1/2 -4 inchgrinders for polishing,however I suggest a variable speed, polishing concrete I would start with 80 grit and progressively work up to 800. At the very least use a Makita or Bosch angle grinder the cheaper ones are not double insulated(bad for wet use) VERY noisy and they don't run smoothly.....if you want to spend the money the best grinder to use for polishing is a matabo variable speed,also flex makes a good hi end grinder.....use a sponge to wet surface keep it wet and have at it.

I don't see why not, I use it to polish my cars and does an awesome job!! It's very easy to handle and so comes with a long cord and two pads :) for the price I'm very happy with it

I've never tried, but you can adjust the grinding mechanism from fine to coarse so I'm guessing you could.

My husband who actually uses the buffer says it is an excellent buffer, but since it has long shafts, he doesn't think it would work well as a grinder. It might not stay balanced. Justin, Easton has a hotline. Go to Easton.com to find the number and perhaps more information.

Yes, put in the rack first and then add the wax. You'll be glad you purchased this dream machine.

Dr. Ann, I think this would work fine on applying and buffing off car polish. I used it to buff off wood floor wax on a butcher block table top. Use one pad to apply and a different one to buff. Thanks,John

I apply wax by hand and use the AutoSpa to remove and polish. I have used it for applying wax, but gets the head full of wax and you cant remove it to clean.

Probably but don't think you need a rubbing compound for that. I usually just use a cleaner type wax.

I'm not sure. But if the wax is the same size as the container shown in the picture then yes you should be able to use it.

Yes, however I have had poor results with this wax. I find it hard to remove and causes fine swirls/ scratches both by hand and with a machine. I would recommend Meguiars Gold Class Carnauba Wax.

I use a lower RPM so the wax is spread evenly and mnot thrown out of the buffer base. If you use a high speed you also take the chance of burning the paint and causes marks in the finish. Yes it will work but be careful and move the buffer smoothly across the paint finish.
