Hey nothingface5384 , thanks for your PM! I was away from the forum for so long, now only I realise your message! Sorry for the late response. I have replied you.

Thanks BillE and Muddyoldgoat for your experience sharing. Guess the idea will not work then. The next best thing should be hand drill I guess, since M14 to drill shaft adapter is easily available, albeit it is not as ergonomic as the Dremel.

Thanks Daviddear30. It is definitely a wild idea from me and I am not sure how well it will turn out. Experiment definitely needed.

I found something that might be useful. It uses an adapter for a DA backing plate and it only goes down to 2" backing plate. But I guess is a good start to try.

But my local workshop says unless I am ordering a bulk of this adapter otherwise he will not do it for me for a single unit. So at this moment I cannot use this suggestion but I know it will definitely works.

Yes I agree the Dremel speed range is way too fast compare to a conventional rotary buffer (0-3000 RPM). The Dremel 4000 series has speed range of 5000-35,000 RPM. The Rupes Nano iBrid has range 2000-5000 RPM. I am thinking to use very light pressure when using it for this purpose. I would...

Really? it looks pretty powerful in my opinion, can cut, grind, polish, and saw through many metal and wood material. But I can't be sure and stand to be corrected.

Hi there. I have been wondering is there any tool/adapter/backing plate out there that is suitable to fit into a Dremel rotary tool (which usually used for metal and wood working) so that the Dremel rotary tool converted into a spot polishing tool, capable of using 1" and 2" polishing pad, just...

Hey guys so far all the replies are very much appreciated but they are not really answering my question. My question is if you only have degreaser and all purpose cleaner, in this case two separate products, which one will you use for cleaning wheel, wheel wells and tires, and why is that? I...

Sound like a cost effective product unfortunately I think it is not imported here. Thanks for the info anyway. I believe it is not available in my country. But we have local company here manufacturing their own APC and degreaser and they are quite affordable, so far I am using them. The ZEP...

Mike, can I have your opinion on this question? (Is there a way I can tag Mike in this thread?)

Good point there toycar18 on the potential risk of acidic cleaner used on wheel. If you were only have degreaser and APC, which you will use on the wheel, tyres and wheel wells? About the Sonax wheel cleaner and Iron X, it is not effective on cleaning tyres right?

I have it. But it is sold quite expensive here so I not keen to use it on a weekly basic. I usually only use it when I encounter some really hard to clean grime. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Indeed a lot of people use OPC for everything. :xyxthumbs:

If Wikipedia (cleaning agent) is accurate then I think there is a slight difference, i.e. degreaser is specifically made for removal of grease. Well the name of the product kind of implies it already so maybe this description is kind of trivial. Nevertheless, I am always think that both are...

I think degreaser and all purpose cleaner are both alkaline in chemical property. Since brake dust is iron, it does not react with alkaline but easily react with acid, I am thinking I should find some acidic cleaner for wheel, but I have never come across acidic degreaser or acidic all purpose...

There are a lot of products, both consumer OTC or professional/detailer in a gallon dedicated to clean wheel, tyres, or wheel wells. Some are even designed to clean effectively on different surfaces. But over here these kind of products are not easily available and not so economical to be used...

Is it possible to use a leaf blower, modify it so that the outlet of the leaf blower can connect to a pneumatic hose then connect to the tornado foam gun? With this setup has enough power to produce foam?

What will be the 1st sign one can notice when the machine he is using is running on a wear out carbon brushes? Noise? Lack of power?

6 yrs! oh I never expected it is so durable. But how often you use your Hitachi RB? I just be informed that a slim wrench like the one supplied together with Meguiar's DA when someone purchase it new can be found in bicycle accessories shop. It is said that a slim wrench is a common tool among...

Hi there. I found an used G220v2 on sale in a forum but with two things missing. 1) the wrench 2) the pair of back up carbon brushes. I want to ask does anyone knows what after market tool can replace the wrench? A spanner seems to be too thick to insert into the slot of the machine. The...
