Detailing the Detail Machine

[RaysWay]

As I was getting ready for another weekend of detailing topping off spray bottles and organizing microfiber towels, I decided to clean up some of my money makers. A quick glance at my LHR 15ES Mark II showed the polisher has been used.

Here`s the inside after removing the backing plate.

Even the screw was caked with polish and compound.

Backing plate.

A lug nut brush with Optimum Power Clean was all I needed.

Backing plate after.

When set my RUPES down face up, there are two contact points that were starting to get scuffed and scratched. So I decided to protect those two areas with red CarPro masking tape. I then added the green 3M masking tape in the center by request to make it look like Raphael (the teenage mutant ninja turtle).

I put the polisher back together with no leftover screws and it cranked right up.

Gotta stay clean to work clean

Leftover screws are the worst!!

Great to see you clean and maintaining your equipment Vega.

I was hoping to read about jigowatts and flux capacitors

What brand of polish/compounds are you using, it`s impossible to not have polish buildup of any level on the plates
I`m just curious if what your using is solvent/oil based, the water based polishes certainly help with cleanup and do not stick to everything like concrete which the older solvent based types do
A spritz of water and it`s dissolved and wiped off.

Nice job on the cleanup, I love keeping my special DA and rotary machines clean, the mark of a pro
been to plenty of detail shops that have machines covered in crap and never changed the brushes once.

I am a firm believer in cleaning the tools that you work with. I don`t do it like I should, but I think it is very important

That`s what I was doing during the snow storm, well.... After some repairs to the car...
