Re: The Pc Random Orbital Buffer

[joelsin]

It seems to me that my PC 7336 Buffer is not spinning fast enough with a 7.5" foam buffing pad attached. I find that the spinning slows as I increase the speed setting of the buffer. It appears that the number of revolutions comes to a complete stop as the increse of speed is advanced. At the #5 setting the rotation of the buffer is almost non-existant. Perhaps I am not familiar enough with this buffer to know what to expect of it. However, I am assuming the buffer will spin as a somewhat normal rate of speed along with the orbital pattern or action. Please correct me if I am wrong in assuming this buffer is not working correctly. Thanks for your help.

The spinning of the buffer isn't what you're looking for, you're looking for the orbital action. The buffer itself doesn't even spin, the pad spins just as a side effect of the orbital motion.

Thanks SW for setting me straight with the buffer, I appreciate it. One quick question regarding layering a wax coat. Is it better to apply only one coat of wax periodically, say every 3 or 4 months, as opposed to applying 2 or 3 coats of wax at one time. Thanks again for the help.

Really you can't layer most products because they include solvents that make them soft, but those solvents will remove the layer underneath when you put the new one on. Certain products like Zaino or Klasse supposedly can be layered. I always do 2 coats of whatever I'm using for coverage and repeat every month. On black in the summer you'll need to do it once a month.
