you have a sort of talent for tearing an destroying things before you get to actually using them, case in point the one you have just mentioned, then the part where you destroyed the clean cham as well, gari ko bakash detay ho ya us kay sath bhi yehi tradition qaim hai??

Look carefully,there are two boxes, one contains extra pads an one contains the machine

Posted on last page...

Rs700.
A pack of six polishing pads and six buffing pads.

So like Rs.1,800 + Rs.700 = Rs2,500, the rest devil will explain about the toffees he bought as well.

@tayyab
is this some chinese polisher...any brand mentioned ...does it have variable speed...any web links will be highly appreciated. thanks

any pic available? i wanna see them . and bad thing is am in peshawar so no metro let c when am able to go isb metro thanks anyways

This is the extra pads pack available for Rs700.
Six pads for applying wax and the other six for buffing.

The polisher is assembled in China and the name is Biloxxi.
Basically it is from the Metro's own product range which is by the name of Biloxxi,supplied to the Metro franchises all over the world.

Actually,polishers have three categories:-
(I am discussing the first two)

The buffer you get from Metro whether of Black and Decker or Biloxxi is an orbital buffer.Professional
detailers also call it Wax Spreaders.
It does not rotate rather it moves in an orbitary motion.Only good for applying waxes.

The other type is Rotary Buffer.You often see a grinder with a buffing pad.That is actually a Rotary Buffer.If
you are going to do paint correction like removing swirls,spiderwebs etc you have to use this.It rotates on
the surface rather than doing orbitary motion,therefore easily pulls off paint defects.

I thank you for sparing your time reading my review.
Regards.

1.This is a Rotary Buffer with Adjustable RPMs ranging from 1000 to 7000RPM.The suitable RPMs are 2-3000.

2.This is the Biloxxi Orbital Buffer you get from Metro.It cost around 1800 or 1900 and the extra pads for Rs700.Total costs you approximately Rs2500.(Although, I dont know what devilz_apprentice did with the remaining Rs400.Chicken BIGMac may be?:D)

On a rating of 1 to 10, I would rate the Rotary Buffer 9 out of 10 while the Orbital Buffer 7 out of 10.Rotary Buffer is professional and heavy duty.Moreover,it has to be handled with utmost care.So,most of the time I use the Orbital one while once in a blue moon I use the Rotary.

[tayyabchaudhary]

Yes brother both the buffers have wool pads.

[yasirsa]

well according to my info buffing has 3 step for waxing first rubbing compound use wid wool pad second u have to add foam pad and use wid polish to remove swrills marks and third wash out the car to remove compund and polish from body than apply wax with hand and rub it with micro fiber thats all u are done with it

purchased from petrol pump ki dokan (5 saal pehlay)
cost rs40-50
review: leaves a very glossy interior, a detailers most hated product and taxi walas favourite

an additional use, if yer rides window channels are bothering you, an you can see the dirt from inside of them, this luster is a very effective tool of cleaning them...the civics windows would go up half way an stop an come down, had the luster treatment done an for the last 3 months its going pinch free, sames the case with my city, though i would recommend proper cleaning of the channel with a towel afterwards or else youll be gettin lustered windows everytime you roll that window up an down.(H)

[accord7362]

Definitely.
The rotary buffers available in the market have adjustable RPMs.
If one is planning to use buffing pads on the grinder, he/she must ensure that the grinder has adjustable RPMs.Higher RPMs can easily rip off your paint.

To my knowledge and what I have seen from most detailers, 2000 to 3000 RPMs are suitable for buffing.Most of the orbital buffers available in market have constant 3000 RPMs.

Thank you.

I dont know about the mothers kit, but the Turtle Wax Ice Clay Bar kit has been under my usage, consists of liquid clay bar, you clean the car with this first, then it has a car detailing spray to use for lubrication an the solid clay bar itself all included in the kit an it does a might fine job....margallar will testify to it, his car had some industrial overspray on his car an at the PW anniversary gtg i did a small portion of his roof an he`s a mureed of it.

Product : turtle wax ice clay bar kit

Rating: 10/10

Good: Does what it says, removes extra spray, cleans the paint up very nicely. Smooth as hell finish

Bad: If you drop the clay bar, its a goner, even if you`ve just had it 5 secs outa the packing!

Experience:Like yer car paints virginity got restored!

thanks for sharing does it has foam pads?i think its wool pad

When I was in Karachi I bought this orbital buffer from makro for Rs 100/- (yes one hundred) - it was in a bin clearance, was missing its box and its applicator foam pad was torn in a few places. No problems I got those.

hehe. Nothing better eh?
