Title: Tiny Buffers
Post by: Rhino on February 02, 2007, 06:47:56 PM

Hello all,

I there such a thing as a small buffing machine, perhaps a one handed operation, small, very small, that is about 1/3rd the size of a regular car buffer?  Either an orbital, and/or a 1200rpm one or so.  I was wondering becasue there are a lot of nooks and cranies on one of my cars, and now bikes, that would benfit from a unit for rubbing compounds and polishes to get into those more exotic curves etc.

Later,
Rhino

Yep there sure is. I have an air operated Matco buffer with 5 different size pads. Works great. You can find them on Ebay under the tools section.

Porter Cable orbital can use 3" pads and the buffer itself is very small. I bought my buffer years ago but it, and the pads can be found on the i-net at Classic Auto/Tampa (use google). They are mainly a i-net co but do walk-ins if you are close and give you a discount for face-to-face.
Good people.

Try the 3" DA from Griot's Garage (griotsgarage.com).  It might be just what you need...

Wasn't that the name of a song by the late Don Ho?


Never mind, that was "Tiny Bubbles".


I'm sorry, carry on.
