Locost Polishing Wheel
907 - 19/8/07 at 05:14 PM

I simply haven't got enough tools....


So with a five quid motor from the council recycling tip, bit of plate & box section that were lying around,
and a stitched rag mop, the expensive bit....

I now have a polisher. Smart Eh?

How you going to hold the car under that?

He won't. You may see him wandering about with a work bench under his arm though!

Very nice

OK, so it has it's limitations.


That's the boot lid on the bench after just six hours polishing.
Another month and it'll be super shiny.


Front mudguards, rear wheel arches, this time next year they'll all be done.
Shinier than an office workers trousers.

Isn't that just gorgeous? Power with style.



Seeing that has just doubled the value of my car.

Thanks Bob.

Neat - but I wouldn't want to be near it when the clamps holding it to the workbench vibrated loose and the wheel gained traction wherever it fell - could be nasty especialy if aimed at the crotch

I live life on the edge... the edge of my bench that is.
