12V polishing machine sold at autobacs

[Tyming]

Any good? I stayed in HDb flat, MPCP no power supply, planning to try some polishing machine

[Steelblue]

Not worth it, underpowered and battery won't last long

[Jlim]

but I heard that for application and buffing of wax ok.

Make sure you buy a deep cycle battery to install into your car too.

I'm worried that the improper usage of electrical buffer will damage the entire paint work..... still prefer to engage outside grooming or DIY

[Kwongwing]

Hi!

Since u mentioned it - any deep-cycle batteries that u can recommmend apat from the Optima Yellow-Top?

[Genie47]

Either that or Rolls which are freaking big monsters. use the Optima if your battery tray can accept it.

I am trying to use it to remove some minor swirl, waterspot, ----> I don't think my hand can survive too long process --> eg, Scratch-X, SRP, Sealant, wax,...

Last Saturday/Sunday i did, Saturday (wash/clay/KIZZ R), Sunday (quick wash, SRP, sealant, wax).......hand now like bodybuilder...hehehe full of aching muscle....

 

Darn, hope HDB can include a powerpoint in the carpark like the washing bay, pay to use the electric.

If they have those paid power supply I would definitely love it

I normally use 220V powered B&D polisher and it works very well due to the strong power. However I moved into a HDB apartment and could not find the power point in MSCP near by. Anyone in Bukit Banjang knows the MSCP with power point please refer it to me as I really like the DIY to serve by my car.

[Maddriver]

dun take the risk.. get a batt generator.. is abt 200 plus.. light weight.. you just need to recharge after use that oil.. not petrol type

[Joyer]

I mean I can pay for the use of the power point.

 

using a battery generator might not be good. I also thought of getting a 12V->220V inverter which costs about $50 with 3 hrs operation for the 60W polisher. But it might be more straight forward to buy a 12V polisher but not sure whether it could do the job.

 

I know there is a coin operated vacuum machine in Mobile gas station near Choa Chu Kang. I will go there and check whether they have a power point there java script:%20x()

[Maddriver]

a 12v polisher is good for apply waxes..not defect removal..

 

A battery generator when fully charge can last about 5 to 6hrs..and best is lighter

[Marcng]

i think not powerful to wax ur car and some mscp got power supply one for ur info..........

[Root]

battery generator, sound interesting ... got more info?

[Joyer]

The inverter I mean is the one with lighter and will convert the 12V to 220V with 300W power. Maddriver's reference might be the same.

 

Yeah, I know some MSCP has the power point but just do not know anyone near Bukit Banjang. The MSCP near my apartment does not have one.

[Maddriver]

Ho sei bo Bro I actually came across one guy using it for camping.. quite small and light.. let me find out more from him the next time i meet him
