Hey , mind sharing your sponge thing .. I have the machine , the adapter .. but I can't find the sponge .. I have tried using polishing sponge from B&D for rotators but they are too big for my adapter

great to know that u have a ROB...there aare Lake country pads avail .....cutting, polishing & finishing...you have to be evry careful in chossing your choice of foam ..as it is always...as the side lining between the velco & pad seems to get detached & cracked

what are the polishes u have?:burnout:

What do you mean by ROB ? I was actually wrong , I have the machine that can drill hole and have the adapter , but do have the machine that cuts metal but I don't have the adapters ..

Anyways , where can I get Lake country pads and price ? and does it comes with an adapter ?

Besides , I am no detailing pro , didn't really get what you mean by "what are the polishes u have ?
