Re: Bosch GEX 270AE random orbit buffer

You guys need help on the correct speed to use on the GEX 270 AE with your MG pads and polishes / cleaners / waxes? ask the great sifu zeytee, and all will be answered, heheh.

The GEX is a great alternative to G-100, but as always, practice makes perfect.

remove the rubber ring thats round the machine at the backingplate, thats the one cutting in to the pads.

Yes, some have succeeded glueing the velcro back using Gorilla Glue, etc.

I forgot that I use this machine to polish CDs and DVDs for a DVD rental company.

Just curious, but how do you handle the CD/DVD and the machine when you polish them? Do you lay them flat and pass over them? Do you clamp the machine down and pass the CD over the pad in your hand or in a holder? What polish do you use? Both sides?

Re: Bosch GEX 270AE random orbit buffer

I've just bought GEX 270 AE 2 days ago. can I use megs W8006 for the polishing pads?how much pressure i should go for using #80? is around 10-15 pounds enough or just too hard? thx.

Re: Bosch GEX 270AE random orbit buffer

MI DOG, there is no such thing like "standard applied pressure". All depends on the speed of the machine, the hardness of the paint and other minor variables. On some soft finishes, the own weight of the machine may be sufficient, while harder paints can require more pressure.

From what i've read, i won't need any special pads, just use the terry cloths to apply the wax and buff it off.

Re: Bosch GEX 270AE random orbit buffer

If you don't want to kill your paint, forget terry cloths on a rotary...

awww hell, maybe i should just do it by hand...

what pads would i use?
all i'm using it for is WAX!

Re: Bosch GEX 270AE random orbit buffer

Then use it with very low revs, a microfiber bonnet over a softer pad, or even better, finishing/finessing pads.

You'll have the option to learn to use it properly, and then beau details will follow!

Re: Bosch GEX 270AE random orbit buffer

I want to ask something about bosch gex270 AE, i've used it this morning por polishing the hood with megs W8006 and #80. But it takes 3 shot of #80 each panels to eliminate water marks,is it usual or my paint is too oxidized? and is it normal if the machine heated while being used?because i thing it's very hot..

thx.

Re: Bosch GEX 270AE random orbit buffer

The water marks can vary in their toughness and you are maybe using too much polish if it is not working effectively. The machine will usually be warm, but not that hot...

Re: Bosch GEX 270AE random orbit buffer

its very tough.. like severe oxidation.so what should i use for cutting the watermarks?can i use Bosch RO Polisher and W8006?Yeah,maybe it is warm hehehe..

Re: Bosch GEX 270AE random orbit buffer

Upgrade the polish because it is not strong enough apparently. We have very dirty rain here, and sometimes I have to use heavy cutting polish to get rid of the calcium deposits. There are polish formulas that can solve the problem chemically, so you can try an AIO-type of product, such as Carlack 68, Klasse AIO, etc.

Re: Bosch GEX 270AE random orbit buffer

we have carlack 68 here. so the AIO product can get off the water marks with no abrasive?it is save for clear coat?

thx
