What do you use your polisher for?

Reminds me of the guy the other day that said he once owned a Honda 100.
I asked him if he was talking about a motorcycle.
He said, "No,it was a car, but every time I took it in for service it cost $100".

Well I guess I could call my car a Corvette 500

I few years ago I removed the pulley on the AC pump to replace it with a custom made wider pulley the wider belt was needed to pull the supercharger so all the pulleys had to be changed.

The external snap ring went flying when I removed it and after looking for it for a half hour I decided to just get another one.

Next time I was in town I stopped at my local Chevrolet dealer and they wanted $ 15.95 for the snap ring, I went to the ACE Hardware and bought one for 25 cents . they had a huge selection of rings and I found one that fit perfectly

We live and learn and I did not know that the rear piece that holds the tail lights on a C4 was made of hard rubber.

When I put my rotary to it I instantly burnt the paint when I talked to a friend who works at Chevy body shop he said OH yes you must be very careful it is rubber and will not dissipate the heat.

I use a cyclo for swirl removal and to apply the final sealer

I voted for polishing and applying wax but the last time I used my PC was in my bathroom shower stall. My PC , white poilishing pad, and SSR 3 did wonders on some water etching problems that had developed.

I know my wife was impressed.

I have been going to do that also.
I think I will try to get around to doing it tomorrow.

I have a tub shower combo and the sliding doors need some good polishing to remove water spotting

I've used it for alot more than detailing. I've used it chop and grind metal, i've used it on stone before. Used it on jewlery before. This was back in the day before i got dedicated tools for those jobs.

i use mine for all its intended purposes plus i use it to polish the marble countertops and glass at home

I use it for polishing if we're talking rotary, but the Cyclo and PC/Griots come in handy with the carpet attachments and applying some sealants.
