haha!!! i ever thought of it too.. i rmb seeing people polishing things with that kind of device... i'm sure there's this kind of thing...

 

now my bike like dirt bike... not shining ,cos very lazy to polish...

 

hope you find the drilling thing...

[arsonist]

i wonder if we can use a normal portable drill and fix up the attachments

problem is im not sure where to find these attachments etc etc...

 

does anyone know?

Hi arsonist..

 

I bought a Black & Decker scrubber and converted the front end to fit a polishing pad.. It uses 4 normal batts and work like a dream.. Can DIY and attach different pads for different purposes..

 

Refer to this website and get yourself one..

Got mine at Malaysia for RM49.90.

 

Cheers guys..

Hi Shahrul,

 

Got it at Ace Hardware Shop. Similar to Singapore's Homefix. Tried it yesterday, bike super smooth and kilat..

 

Happy polishing guys..

[hellsfury]

xixy: oh so thats wad u were doing yesterday:cheeky:

[xixy]

hellsfury:

 

Yo bro..

 

Haha.. Yup.. Need to do up my new bike so busy lor..

 

So far starting with Project Ghost II..

 

Drop by next time, we polish bike together, k?

[hellsfury]

[xixy]

hellsfury...

 

This Sunday working.. Not sure what time getting off work..

 

But I'm off next Sunday.. Tentatively next Sunday at 11am?

with this thing can i polish n buff my chrome parts to shiny again? the rpm is 160 doesnt seem too high. Compared to black&decker rtx and wizard series which can go up to 30 000 rpm.

 

what i mean is for metal parts that i need to put autosol on to shine kilat kilat one. i think what ur referring to is to wax polish the bike ryte?

 

btw thanks but can u tell us where exactly in jb is ace hardware shop? like issit in city square etc2? does the shop carry other black n decker equipment?

 

thanks annd all info greatly appreciated.

[shahrul_azmil3]

better still .....

 

in singapore if anyone has gone shopping .....

 

any machine that use batt. to polish my bike .....

 

price tag wise i'm looking at 150 downwards .....

[xixy]

arsonist:

 

Yup.. I use it to wax polish my bike.. The most important factor for me is that it is battery operated as below my block, there are no power points.. There are more expensive, "real" buffing machines from Bosch, etc but they are mainly for cars as the build in pad is rather huge and all that I've seen are not battery operated.. So, "leceh" for me..

 

This one is small and handy.. Revolution power wise not bad.. Managed to polish my bike to a shine.. Very smooth finish too.. Beats using hand and the karate kid technique of waxing right, waxing left.. Haha..

 

I bought mine in KL during my vacation.. Not sure about JB but I think all Ace Hardware stores carry almost the same items.. Why not do a search in the Malaysian Business directory? If I happen to see one in JB, will let you know for sure..

 

 

shahrul_azmil3:

 

I've not seen one in Singapore yet.. Tried HomeFix, tak ada.. NTUC superstore also tak ada.. Carefour also tak ada..

 

[shahrul_azmil3]

aiyo semua takda ... mampus lar .....

 

gi jb agi mati

homefix diy there is the black&decker rtx-1 rotary drill - but its a corded one so u must use extension from ur home (if u at 2nd story) - costs only $169.00 and comes with 55starter bits. te bits got many types for grinding/sanding/polishing etc2. if really want the cordless one theres the dremel one which costs $212. comes with 60starter bits.

 

does anyone out there know if homefix employees get a discount on buying the stuff??? if 20% of 200 is like $40 saves sia. lol

 

im appealing to any ppl who haf friends/wives/girlfriends at homefix can help ask them?

[xixy]

shahrul:

 

Ala.. Kalau ada kawan pergi JB pump petrol, i ask them check it out ok..

 

 

arsonist:

 

Appealing for friends, wives & gfs to get something to polish bike ah? Haha... See if I travel to M'sia again, will let you guys know.. Maybe can get a few of what I purchased and sell it to you guys lor..

 

How..

[arsonist]

hahah nolah.. see if they got frens or wives etc who working at homefix diy and so can get employee/staff discount.

 

hey which part of Kl did u go? mebe dec i will also be going kl. did u see the models that i mentioned above?

[xixy]

arsonist:

 

I was at Mid Valley area for about a week.. Was at Ace Hardware Mid Valley so found that little device.. Didn't see the models that you mentioned as the one that I bought was on sale..

 

Was happy with it so grabbed it and left.

 

Haha..

[arsonist]

xixy, guess what, i checked the ace hardware site and found a store in Batam! hahah.. guess one of these days i will be going down there to check it out.

 

for those that want to order online its available too. they ship international orders. the dremel tt costs $212 above costs only 160++ but without attachments ( but attachments are ard $3 per attachment i think can get from normal hardware shops ) but bear in mind that this is the cheapest ( and longest time ) shipping.

 

do check out the site , just google search ace hardware and u can find the site. they also entertain cheaper quotes for Mass Orders so those who interested maybe can start a MO for the stuff. but i guess i try go see the shops at Batam and Malaysia first to see2 the price 1st. lol

[xixy]

arsonist:

 

Going batam? Sounds fishy.. Haha...

 

Checking out Ace Hardware or looking for something else?

 

[arsonist]

hahah... really la... going to check out the shop, most prob going with my gf.. i also want to buy a cordless mechanical grass shears if they haf it there.
