I picked up the Bauer (Harbor Freight) 6" 5.7 amp for $60. I also bought the Mcguire's 5" microfiber correction kit that included the 5" backing plate. I took the head of the polisher apart and swapped out the grease. So far so good. I have only been playing with a test panel, but so far I am...
I am in the market for a DA polisher. Probably won't use it much (1-2x a year) so I am looking for something that is inexpensive. All of the reviews I see are all over the place. Looking for some suggestions.

If CAFE didn't have such a heavy influence on the oil industry and automotive world, what would be the ideal engine oil weight and additive package? Are we sacrificing protection and engine longevity over a small percentage of increased fuel economy? We see many differences in oil weight...
Check to make sure none of the mounting bolts are broken. Might not be the issue, but my zero turn had broken a bolt allowing one of the Hydro Gears to move excessively which made it shudder and cause the mower to buck under the right conditions. Normal mowing it wasn't an issue.
