[QUOTE="KrisMas, post: 4527841, member: 61607"] The B&D is a good machine, but unfortunately, it comes with it's own proprietary polishing bonnet and there's not much you can do unless you modified it so that it could be used with some better quality polishing pads. Although it would be more tiring, for polishing and removing defects works, you'd get better (and safer) result by hand as compared to the B&D. You'd need to exert some pressure while polishing. The amount of pressure would depend on how much defect you want to remove. The more pressure the more you would be able to 'cut' the paint. Best way is to put some pressure on the first few passes, then release the pressure (lighter polishing) to 'refine' it. That is for removing defects, like using it with the Meg's Ultimate Compound. For usage with your Otter polish, it's a mild paint cleaner (I'm not too sure whether it contain any abrasives or not as I only had a little sample to play with last time). So there's no point of 'forcing' it. Just use a little pressure to 'deep clean' the paintwork. Yes, the Meg's applicator pads are those yellow, round, spongy, foam applicator pads. Again, about the rotary, if you can't justify investing on the more expensive ones, the china one would do since you'd only be using it on your own ride and you're not using it very often. Even my Makita, I've only really used it twice this year, but of course, the built quality is far better than the china made. I have a few more options that I would suggest to you, I'll try to post it later tonight...... [/QUOTE]
