WHAT!!! Are you serious??? Why do you have a DA pad on a DRILL??? (see below)


Seriously, man, is that your interpretation of a rotary?

Its for the headlight restoration. You cant use the pad on the normal da since its not strong enough. You gotta use a craftsman to do it. Yes lowes 5gal are nice.

My $20 Harbor Freight 18 volt drill has enough guts to spin the 3 inch wool and foam pads that comes in the ADS headlight resto kit.

Ahhh... Good idea... Never used a machine for headlights, but I have thought about using the DA... Next time I am faced with it, I will try to remember the drill... Only I will probably use a different pad.

JP-- will the white one you gave me (I think its a sanding pad on a stick) work for this?
