  • Polished a Polisher

    I saw some one over Autopia refresh their polish so I had to do mine, I know sick at least that what the wife says. Subject: Makita 9207, bought in 1996.

    Nice!

    Dude, you should have heard my girlfriend when she found me waxing her washer and dryer. I have a pic somewhere- it's priceless.

    Last week I got a brand new rolling trashcan from EverKept after someone stole my old one. I looked at it and at my NXT 2.0 3-4 times before I called myself crazy and went inside.

    My cousin waxed his bathtub before. It seemed like a good idea at the time until he fell on his a** the next morning.

      I think we are all guilty of waxing or polishing something unique. I really liked how you presented after it was done. lol. Looks good.

        Just a quick note if you had a polisher for while you may need to re grease it, or just push the grease back into the gears. Mine had lots of grease but hardly any around the gears.

            You have to sand it down first 80 grit up to 1500 then polished it with red and then white polishing bars. Then hit with a little English custom polish. The trick to takeing aluminum from a rough texture to polish is in the snding. The plastic started with 500 grit, up to 1500. Then buffed it with different compounds and finished it with Meguiar's plastic polish.

                    Ha ha! It won't stop either- I was cleaning up the kitchen and wiped down the range hood with APC last night to get the grease off. I'll stop there rather than incriminate myself further...
