Master of the Rotary...

[Kevin Brown]

Any guess as to the identity of the Buff Master in this picture?

Take a shot! I'll add another pic soon to help clear things up. By the way - The picture may or may NOT be rotated...!

I'd have to guess Joe at Superior Shine, because of the larger backing plate with the 6.5" pads. He's the only person I know that does that.

Hey Kevin,

I also guess it is Joe from the larger backing plate and the spacer used between the buffer and the pad.

You are right!

Very keen eye... In fact, I didn't know that Joe used the big plate on the small pad. Further, it didn't even dawn on me that was the case in the photo.

Upon his arrival I kind of recommended that he use that same set-up I was (big plate on the W7006 small pad), so that the pad would stay flat and have less give. He said that's what he uses! Then we agreed that we didn't like a small backing plate on a big pad. Not accurate enough... Too much give.

Here's the other picture. To clarify, the picture is rotated 90 degrees... This is a reflection of Joe working on the Sinister Six, passenger rear quarter panel (Even though only one person can sit in the car!). I can't upload the original photo right now... For some reason I'm having some trouble...

Since you never saw this Joe... Here it is!

I think I get the larger backing plate/pad thing (even pressure???), but why the spacer?
