Awesome buffing power September 28, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I used this buffer on a professional level non stop in a detail shop and never had anything but good things to say about it. We must have gone through 10 full/multi staged cars a day and it never broke down or complained. (the hardest part is getting the pads to center - the tool they include for that doesnt always work) Get your self this buffer, a couple of pads of varying corseness and you'll be set to open up your own shop.
NO FOAM PAD June 5, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
As stated in a previous review there is no foam pad. The two pads included are: wool #192629-7 compounding pad and #743403-A polishing pad. The polisher is great but the bargain is lost without the foam pad.
Inacurate Picture April 25, 2007 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I'd like to point out that although the photo of this item shows it comes with a foam polishing pad, it in fact does not include the foam pad.
Makita 7" Polisher April 10, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This polisher is exactly what I had been looking for. It has a variable speed control and came with two pads and a very nice, heavy duty carrying case. Great buy!!
Quality work with a quality product... January 19, 2007 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I use this makita to buff out my cars. For the past 3 years I was using a dual action polisher, which did a fabulous job. However, it took forever to do one body panel, and if any paint imperfection was deeper than a swirl, it had a difficult time removing it.
The makita is fast, durable, and very well made. Knowing that a rotary can easily ruin your cars finish I went at it very slow to begin with. The variable speed clutch allows you to slowly start spinning the head when you start as opposed to the machine ramping up to 1500 rpm right away. The bale handle makes for easy operation, and the entire unit weighed less than I had initially thought.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. The storage bag is top notch as well. I came away very happy with the entire process, from order, to shipping and handling, it all went very smooth.
