This is a question in regards to this thread ( http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15541 ) about rotary buffing, which had this link to a thread on rotary buffing over at MBworld. ( http://forums.mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?threadid=17340&perpage=10&pagenumber=2 )



He suggests only using compound, which contain clay as the abrasive. WHY?



I'm currently using Pro's Creamy Cutter, which has Diamonite in it, which contains Al Oxide. Does anyone know why it is bad to use this with a rotary? I've never heard that before.



Also, anyone know a place that sells the 6" pads he mentioned for rotarys?
 
Intel,



Other abrasives besides compounds CAN be used with a rotary buffer. I use them all the time and they work just fine. :wavey

yhea, I use compounds and polishes w/ my rotary but he is saying only to use products that have clay as the abrasive.



Actually, I just reread Buellwinkle's post and he suggests using one w/ clay as the abrasive. Intermezzo's post confused me...
 
He is saying clay because it brakes down faster, the clay will melt from the heat produced by the rotary. In reality most abrasives use Al Oxide or other metal oxides for thier "cutter". They are fine to use, they just don't brake down as fast and require more "working" of the the polish.

Alright, I like the way creamy cutter works so I'm gonna stay w/ my al oxide :p



The description they give for Creamy Cuttery does say it has hollow abrasives that break down.



The thing I read on diamonite says it is like 14% Aluminium Oxide and like 65% Silicon Dioxide.



What is Silicon Dioxide?
