    Harbor Freight DA Polisher - New

    Yeah you should have just chucked the side handle. Those are probably the most useless thing in the box. If you are having to use that thing your using way to much pressure one the paint anyway and that's what causes it to heat up. You push me to hard and I heat up to lol. As far as it coming...

    A high speed rotary buffer with the strongest pad/lotion combo on the market cannot get out 1000 grit scratch marks.

    Hello and welcome! The Mezerna products should have their own specs on what speed and pad combo to use. The Meg's backing plate would be the one to go with. Also, make sure you use and IPA after polishing to make sure the paint is clean before you apply the opti coat. I could go on for hours...

    Update: after several uses the polisher still works great! There were a few things that concerned me that I thought some of you guys would want to know.
