that sound alost exactly like the one i use and it is just fine. i like the ability to exert a lot of pressure and build a good bit of heat. it akes it a lot faster than the 1/3 hp grinder i converted, it would stall out to often and over heat.on mine i a running 8" loose for white and 12" vented for black and brown. its faster than the buff manual says but it works.

Can I use Zoopseal on my radiator and will heat affect it?
Yes, you can use Zoopseal on a radiator. Heat from the radiator will help it to cure and make it stronger. We do not recommend putting Zoopseal on an exhaust, this heats up too much.

You'd rather re-polish it every two weeks??
Wipe it down a bit with polish every two weeks, rather than completely strip it every two years? Yes!
