New 175 Rotary Machine

[Tom Mock]

I picked up my new 17" floor machine today. I got a pad driver and shower feed tank along with a blower for around $650.

I ordered some cotton bonnets from Cobb's, should be coming this week.

Now I can act like a big time west coast cleaner!

Ever run a Rotary before?

 

[Tom Mock]

I do have experience, not a pro at it by any means.

I was trying it out in the garage when I got home, didn't even hit the wife's car with it! LOL

When you scrub in your prespray do you soak the pad first? I would assume so.

 

[Mikey P]

If it's a new pad you should.

Tom, what make floor machine did you purchase?

 

[Tom Mock]

I got a Powrflite, 1.5 HP. Seems fairly heavy.

Got a great price, $399 for being a new custy.

Your bonnets should only be damp unless you want to really hack out a job. Good luck.
