I need a buffer for shoe polishing!

[fusQer]

I have a cordless drill/screwdriver and am looking for an attachment for a buffer/polisher to shine my shoes with. I figured this would be simple enough but I can`t seem to find one. I don`t know where else to ask but here. Does anyone know where I can find such an attachment? Thanks!

Ever thought of using a Dremel? They have buffing wheels.



Also, hardware stores sell small cotton buffing wheels for drills, you use them with arbors that they also sell.



I was in the Army (82nd Airborne Division, so I know a thing or 2 about shining shoes) so I can relate to wanting your shoes to shine, but I`m a little worried that the speeds will be too high. Good luck, though, interesting idea!

Go to wal-mart and go back to their shoe section. I swear I saw something to polish your shoes with.

Sounds like a job for a Mini Power Ball. They actually make motorized shoe polishers that you step up to (with the shoes on...kind of like a bench grinder on the floor but with wool bonnets on it).

thats what i was originally gonna get, but i could probably get the drill attachment for 1/10 of the price. i also have a PC maybe ill just get a bonnet or something.



what is the ball thing that was mentioned?

........what is the ball thing that was mentioned?

Mothers Original PowerBall.



Mothers PowerBall Mini.



You might be able to find them at Wal-Mart, I think that`s where I found my Mini PowerBall. Not sure how well they`d work on shoes, but they`re handy to have around for detailing.



You could buy a Spot Buff Kit with 4" pads with an adapter that would fit in a drill...... a little pricey just for shoes.



Then there is a Buff` n Shine Kit for shoes, or this bare bones Buff` N Shine........ also might be available at Target.



I like to do anything by machine that`s possible, but I personally think a good old fashioned shoe brush might do a better job getting into all the crevices of a shoe.

thank you

These little guys might work good. Foam Polishing Pad 3"

Hi fusQer - I was in the same boat, it seemed like there was nothing, not even industrial stuff, then I came across this:



Buffer Bit | Re-Define Your Shine!



Check them out bud.

Microfiber pads for fast correction.

Maybe this- link: Presto Shine on Shoe Polisher, Electric Shoe Polisher, Shoe Care Kit



Somebody else had `em in their catalog, but I can`t remember who it was...maybe Brookstone.



I`m still doing mine the manual way, but I can see how this`d speed things up.

When I saw Eliot Ness as a poster, I knew it was an old thread.

Yup, we`re replying to a 6 year old thread so those shoes are probably really shiny by now. Of course, if the original poster were female, those old shoes would probably have another 300 pairs of companions so let`s find a heavy duty polisher for the OP.

Yeah...hope he`s doing well these days.

Does bring up something I often wonder about though...do most Autopians keep everything in their lives as nice as they keep their vehicles? I would think so, but people can be funny :nixweiss
