Rock Chips

[Eddie Paskey]

Hey Mike, Using the little sanding block to smooth the paint, but found that I will need to drop in some more paint. Previous owner did not mound up enough. Question, what can I use to clean out the deeper pits so the paint will stick. what about denature alky? sanding block and X works great, will use buffer next. Thanks for sharing so much of your knowledge with us guys!!!!

Part for Buffer?

Hi Mike, Was getting ready to try my new buffer and the pads, but don't know how to attach the pad to the machine,, Do I need to go to Home Depot and get a pad holder to screw into the buffer??? I got in the box , the buffer, instruction man. and wrench. What flex base do I need?? Thanks Eddie

Welcome to the forum but just to let you know, you're posting your questions in the wrong forum...

Detailing 101 is what you want i think..

One answer to your buffer question is you need a backing plate for the buffer, but i don't know what buffer you have so i can't route you to the right backing plate

That's a tough one... try whatever you can get your hands on that will get into the rock chip divets, perhaps a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol and twisted into the chip? Dig out old wax first with a toothpick.

If you're talking about the G100 dual action polisher, then it came with it's own spanner wrench. If you're talking about some other machine, you'll need to share some more information about which machine you're referring to.
