Detailers dont kill me

My passed 89K today so i thort id give it a clean

i used the 2 bucket method for the first time and found it to be a pain in the arse but i guess the theory makes sence. i used a new Sponge, a tesco 2 in 1, with a sponge/ mesh arrangement on one side and a microfibre pad on the other it was £2 odd so i thort id give it a bash.

then i clayed it, then i used Megs gold class, which is really anooying me because it never really dried and makes my clothes sticky when im removing it.

finally not happy with the megs stuff i used my latest cleaning toy (this is where rich begins to cry) with AG - SRP

oh mumma! its a 18v battery drill with the megs aplication pad covered with a few layers of lynt free cloth. does the job ill tell you, and no w*****s cramp either.

Result.

pc is a rotary that doesnt go round in a smooth circle I think- random orbital is the name. So if there was a way of making a drill do that you'd be onto a winner

im sure if i welded another piece of metal onto the side of the current bit it would have that effect. ???!?!?!?!?!??

Your right with the random orbital but the drill speed isn't variable enough....

if you welded another bit on the side wouldnt it just go round radially in a bigger circle :s

it would, what you'd need is for the drillbits to be like cogs, with a shroud encasing it, statically attached to the drill, then attach the buffer to the offset bit.


easy...
