Cheers Mate, another post on the Megs UK forum recommended the other, for some reason my mate says I should go for the that one to.

He did some odd equation and said that is the one?

No PC polishing this weekend anyway as my dad is going to get me one trade through his electrical business but wont be till next week now.

well im not sure about the tech side of the two, but what i do know is the one i recomend works with the pc, and it has run mine for hours on end without stopping or getting overloaded

Rich · May 28, 2005

Nice one, I leave it in my old mans hands for now anyway, as it means my power supply chould be cheap as chips, even more reson to import!

Check out the UK propel pad group buy on Autopia mate, working at at 3 quid a pad.

182_blue · May 28, 2005

ahh, whats the propel pads like ?, are you getting some ?

Rich · May 28, 2005

Getting 6, said to be really good and at the prices worth getting, check out the Propel links on the thread, lots off different grades. Plus they do proper non abbrassive pads for wax

See bot of this http://www.dano.pocketrubbish.com/detailing/productchart.htmChart

182_blue · May 28, 2005

do they go on the 5" sonus backing plate

Rich · May 28, 2005

Looking at the pictures on that site selling them, they look very alike to the sonus ones so I would say yes.

Post onthe Autopia thread to check, Andy will know. Brazo is in.

I have both the sonus 5 and 6 inch backing plates so they will fit one!

182_blue · May 28, 2005

were is the link rjay ???, the one on the site isnt working for me

Rich · May 28, 2005

http://www.prestostore.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?ref=exceldetail&ct=29307Works again now

Good news on the transformer bits 30 quid all in

182_blue · May 28, 2005

excellent, thx for the link too

182_blue · May 28, 2005

them pads are the sonus das pads arent they ??, perhaps sonus just buy them from there ?

182_blue · May 28, 2005

just noticed there 7", so cant be das pads

182_blue · May 28, 2005

oops, das pads are 7"

Rich · May 28, 2005

I think they look just like the Sonus DAS pas so I reckon they fit the 5 inch backing plate.

yeh i thought that, there identical, which makes me believe they are exactly the same

Rich · May 29, 2005

I have concluded they are the same too. The exceldetail backing plates are the same as the Sonus one.

Did you happen to price up the 7424, or do they not do them?

182_blue · Jun 4, 2005

there the same except for bigger counter weight

Rightio, but do Lowes do the 7424?

182_blue · Jun 4, 2005

lol, no idea, but i put the bigger weight on mine(7336s one) so i suppose mines not a 7424 anymore

bill11 · Jun 5, 2005

<SCRIPT language=javascript> Seem the only differance is the 7424 is just the Sander wirh no pad etc

7336 would seem to be a 7424 with pad and one sanding sheet ?

My counter weight is for 6 inch

They do do a 7 inch one

Rich · Jun 7, 2005

For those of you that dont like Autoglym Super Resin, and one reason being it dusts, go and give it a try on your PC! Ultra thin and no dust, infact theres not alot to remove even.

cheechy · Jun 8, 2005

Got my stuff on Monday......

....unfortunately I found out that I had ordered the wrong SFX pads and need to get hold of the spot pads rather than the 6" (?) pads.

Doh!

Dont suppose another group buy is coming soon or can you get these in the UK?

I dont need anything else at the moment so dont want to get 3 spot pads from autopia and pay $$$ for postage

182_blue · Jun 8, 2005

hey cheechy. did you get the 3.5 backing plate ??, as you need this for the 4" pads ?, i may be ordering some stuff soon perhaps i could get you some bits

cheechy · Jun 8, 2005

Hi Blue - yes I ordered the 3.5" backing plate but just ordered the wrong damn pads. They wont go to waste though.

Yes please give me a shout when you are ordering as I may order a couple of each of the 4" pads.

No more orders from Pakshak on the horizon anyone? - now that Ive got a PC I quite fancy those MF bonnet thingies

[Edited by cheechy on 6/8/2005 10:00:36 AM]

182_blue · Jun 8, 2005

cheechy, i will let you know when im ordering (next few days), do you want 2 sets of the 4" pads (i.e 6 in total) , also i may have some new pakshak mf bonnets spare if you want to buy it from me, save you shipping etc
