Bosch 2609256054 Polishing Felt for Random Orbit Sander with Diameter 125mm, Grey

Product Information

To polish your car with an orbital sander, you will need to use a random orbital sander. The name’s random orbital sander is due to the tool moving in a random pattern while spinning. If you want to use a random orbital sander to polish your car, you need to make sure that it has variable speed settings.

A random orbital (or dual action) sander is best for cars. A standard orbital sander can leave unsightly swirl marks whereas a random tool version will not. The reason being that a dual-action sander works in two ways – it moves in a random pattern while orbiting in a circular motion at the same time. The ROTEX 90 is accompanied by the ROTEX 125 and ROTEX 150. Equipped with a polishing pad, this versatile polisher is the perfect tool for finishing mineral materials and painted surfaces. It comes with advanced features like temperature-dependent overload protection to ensure that it runs at peak efficiency for as long as possible, while features like its speed preselection controls and cooled handle make it a joy to use. The best speed for polishing a car using a random orbital sander is anywhere between 1,500 and 4,000 OPM’s. Since random orbital sander has variable speed settings, they allow you to maintain better control over the tool. Better control equals a better finish. MATERIAL] - Adopts advanced manufacturing technology and good material selection, the wool felt is soft and elastic, not easy to epilate, is a natural environmental protection material. In conclusion, you can indeed use a random orbital sander for car polishing. Be sure to have a variety of polishing pads on-hand as well as a model with adjustable speed settings.

Having such a large sanding surface does come at a cost, in terms of capability to sand fine details and work in tight spaces. Fundamentally, this sander is not designed for detail work — and you’ll soon discover the truth of this if you try to use it to sand features such as beading or architrave.

Press the pad all around the working area without turning the sander on – this helps spread the polish evenly while preventing it from flying off when the tool is started. USAGE] - Can be used directly for polishing, or used with polishing liquid/paste/powder. It can repair the grinding marks left by the previous process and make the polished surface get mirror effect. When using the polishing machine, please avoid staying in the same position for a long time, so as not to expose the paint primer.

Once you have completed the job to your satisfaction, switch to a finishing pad and finishing compound. Once the polish is evenly distributed on the surface (and there is only little left on the pad itself), select a medium speed setting and switch the sander. Attach the buffing pad to the sander and apply polish in a dot-like pattern across the entire surface of the pad.
