Pad Washer compairson

From the videos on Youtube, the System 2000 is for rotary polisher only, and really seems only best for wool pads at that.The design of the wheels inside the cleaner only spin one way. That means that only a circular polisher will work without tearing up the pads. An orbital would put force perpendicular to the rotation of the cleaning wheels, and thus tear up the pads on them. The GG seems to do both rotary and orbital. Obviously, if you have a orbital, the GG is your only choice.

Excellent summary.

Do you mean a,

cheapo 20 dollar plain ol ROTARY buffer?

That is a direct drive polisher that will rotate a pad?

There's lots of cheapie orbital polishers but they won't work well for rotating a pad in a pad washer.

If you meant a cheapie rotary buffer then the answer is "Yes", in fact I've been sharing this idea with people from probably a decade or longer...

That is buy a cheapie rotary buffer not as a rotary buffer but as a tool to use to clean your buffing pads.

The harbor freight special aye lol ...... Just out of curiosity would you use this for the "just in case" like water splashing up or something along those lines?? So you dont ruin the 300 dollar rotary
