Felt flap discs

Anyone use these discs? ..I just tried out with polishing soap on my 750 valve cover and fooking awesome product.

I messed about yesterday pinching the speed controller out of an old jig-saw and linking into an old mains angle grinder to get lower speed and not impressed. But just tried out with my cordless one and really good results. I think the friction reduces the speed of the grinder to an RPM compatible with the discs.

Give me a couple of days James ..just waiting for some small wheels to arrive in the post  to do the really hidden bits. Valve cover was from a UK 10/69 750K0 with 46K miles so you can imagine what state it was in.

I thing though..  the discs flatten the battery pretty quickly even with a 5A & a 4A battery pack

Oggie400F:
Looking again at the pic it looks like you have been polishing in your dining room or conservatory!
How did you get away with that?  🤔😁

Arch stanton:
