[QUOTE="typed by ben, post: 353610, member: 11717"] the attraction to the expensive model polishers is IMO the durability of the product. i got a harbor freight polisher (not an angle grinder like you used) and it did the job fine, but its not something id want to use every day. after it heats up, the grinding in the gearcase becomes unbearable, and at that point you have to shut down in order to preserve the gears. that means maybe 45 mins of seat time before you have to let it cool down. finished product looks great. she is going to be BLINDING at the right angle!
