I hate pictures of....

A.P.A.D. said:
i see alot of people have no problem with this. just like some people keep using clay that hits the ground and looks clean. i dont.

i have never set the polisher on the ground. working in food industry and detailing as a hobby, the floor = dirty. even though u could eat off my garage floor i have been told(i wouldnt though:hungry:)

i have a storage bin that contains all my pads that i have follow me(i move) around the car with me as i polish. i am constantly wiping this bin off before setting the polisher down pad up. maybe i am paranoid. i want to purchase a utility cart(like they have at the AG showroom garage). looks more professional and rolls with me.

I definitely see your point and I'm in no way taking offense to anything you've said.

People work in different ways. I'm in no means a slouch when it comes to detailing and I always work clean. Even if my working area has detailing products all over the place. Anything that is touching the car or will touch the car is clean. I don't reuse clay that's hit the ground and if I knock my polisher over and the pad hits the ground, I reach for a clean one.

To each his own though. :xyxthumbs:
 
I'm not gonna lie, I throw my Dynabrade around a lot. But it's a heavy duty machine, that is built like a tank. I am much more careful with my PC's and other rotaries. I hang them off the side of my car instead of putting them on the ground.

I just dislike it when anything is in my pictures except the cars. I think it takes away from the look of the pictures.
 
I don't put any tools on the ground if I can avoid doing so. That is why Autogeek had rolly carts for sale.
I keep everything up off of the ground, but it's mainly because my back hurts to stoop over.
 
I always like to set mine in the gravel face down, it makes for a great time saver when I am in need of a heavier cut.

I suggest "borrowing" a tray from McDonalds and putting some casters on it.....Perfect solution for those down low jobs where you don't wanna put your polisher on the floor!


:laughing:
 
I naturally never do this which surprises me. I didn't realize I had good clean practice.I never set it on the ground. I place it on a small step ladder. :)
 
Guilty too. although lately I have a small card table I use for the buffer and MF towels.
 
Guilty...twice in photo evidence!

This one shows my clients garage in true form. The polisher is above the rear wheel:

 
I made a little 'box' with just a bottom and three(03) sides...just sit the buffer in it...no tip over.

I was more concerned with picking up a piece of dirt (or whatever) on the pad.

I find it humorous that the OP said he hated seeing pics of buffers on the ground and people keep posting "Guilty" pics... lol... just an observation lol...

What in the heck is that thing on the ground? Looks like it's almost as big as the car.....

That's the buff pro polisher. Not used by a lot of people but there have been a few threads on it over the past year.

It looks like the most cumbersome polisher to use....I can see it for a RV or something, but it must weigh a ton!!!

I've never used it so I don't know how heavy it is. I do know the thing is expensive and the roller pads for it are $40 each!

Thats insane! Now that I think about it, I remember the owner, or at least a sales rep coming on another site and trying to sell it. We all watched the video and it throws splatter all over the place...

I know... Lol...



On the "Buff Pro" unit looks interesting but yes the pads are pricey @ $49 each (their website) and the unit @ $449.00 that is a bit insane! also it may not leave swirls but I could see if the pads got some sort of junk in them leaving linear scratches... and bad ones at that...
 
Dang! don't hate on my buffpro.. You gotta try it to believe it. Pads are about $40 but I have had the same pads for 9 months now. There are mainly 3 pads. Fine polish, polish, & wool. The stuff I have done with the wool would make you sell something to buy one of these. How about the nastiest headlights with a quick 2000 grit sanding, buffpro, wool pad and power gloss. 10.6 minutes on headlights. (yes... I timed it) the lady was crying because it looked so good. She thought she would have to pay $500 for new ones.

I like to think of the buff pro as my little secret. Awesome on RV's planes as well as boats. When doing cars.. It saves time doing the larger areas but then I get me PC for trimming out.

That picture was from the Nissan Leaf roadshow here in Tampa, Fl. A few months back. They called me to buff out 18 of their display "sign & drive" Leafs. The roadshow maintenance co. Was so impressed with the Buffpro that they bought one for their California shop.

I use it very often and am glad I bought it. There are a lot of skeptics out there but I guess you gotta take the leap.
