battery powered polisher

[bozothenutter]

any reccomendations?
Do they exist?

I work on the car at a local carwash, and they don't have poweroutlets.

Could you not just but a generator?

 

[bozothenutter]

LOL......and bring it with me everytime?

maybe you mean a converter?

 

[Joe#]

No, I mean a 230v genorator.

I don't see anything wrong with it. You could then get some decent results from a DA or Rotary.

Just being nosey here, got nothing useful to add I'm afraid.
But Is there a law in your country stopping you from doing it at home? As I know in certain places its actually illegal to clean or work on your car on your own driveway.

Austria/Switzerland iirc.

I'd just go for the generator, would be perfectly fine.

There is such a thing I have one at work, superb for glazing, I would take it to a show with me and use it before heading to the show, weather permitting of course.

I'll grab a picture of it tomorrow if I remember.

 

[Joe#]

Never heard of them before

What's the battery life like then?

 

[Gally]

Not bad, like I said it's noth the kind of thing you use to correct a car.

 

[Joe#]

Yeah, you'd be forever charging the dam things up

 

[Gally]

Imo they really don't have the power. Good show accessory though.

 

[bozothenutter]

indeed it would not be for corrections or anything like that, just to make wax on wax off easier.
A genny would be a bit overkill for my purposes.

You'd have to be careful of battery life though. And 150w "might" not be enough..they do bigger ones but you pay more.

Edit...yeah okay change might to WON'T.

You would need a beasty inverter for these as they are like 800w+
