- Buy one, no regrets. This tool uses 14 of my suggestions to Dewalt. They only left our 3. I have designs for a random orbital and a rotary buffer if anyone can temp me to partner up.
5/8" coarse thread, at least a 1/2" long to space off the wheel.
I have many more (300+)videos; before and after boat detailing videos including boat waxing, boat buffing...
Have a question? Comments section will be replied to.
Anyone can hit a rock with a hammer; getting the rock to look like something that belongs in museums and books... Takes a love of hitting rocks with a purpose and not just the right tools/products.
🔆🔆Want to help me make some changes @ 3M? Think about giving them a call and tell them to look at my videos. Give them a piece of your mind. Help me light a fire under their butts.

I use a DeWalt DWP849X
If I'm going for perfection in gelcoat, I don't use a ceramic (unless a very new boat) I prefer the ease, cost and reliability of Fire Glaze by RMP. Make sure you get all the oxidation out of the gelcoat, get a great finish, clean and strip the surface and then apply Fire Glaze.

There's a "marine" version but it has the same main ingredient as Fire Glaze, just a different lubricant/carrier solution made to be environment friendly. I find it dries rather fast and as I'm in a hot climate, I use Fire Glaze instead of Restructure Marine Polish. I like their Mirasol spray for all the interior furnishings as well.

*Great **MyBest.Tools** item.😓🤣😀😎 Superior quality.*
Exsqueeze me?
Shared this video on FB with my local boaters group!
It's what I purchased thanks to your videos! Amazing machine with more power than I need for sure! Has made compounding, polishing and waxing the boat a breeze! Gonna give it a try on our truck also!
On your truck: Foam pads for beginners, no stopping, no high speeds and never let the wheel spin too long on an edge. Here's where the velcro backing plate can come in handy, I like them for cars and removing the spindle nut will lower your center of gravity on the machine so you'll feel even more in control. Be fluid and always in motion, dance over the paint.
Let the compounds fully break down (try your marine 31 and see how it is on paint)
Before wax/polishing, clean the panel or ith some clean rags and window cleaner, make the polish bond to a clean dry surface.
She's a beast but can be a beauty if allowed to be.
Thanks for the FB luv!
@@Local_Boydidgood you're welcome!
@@NewVisionLCS My new dewalt X makes a clicking sound as it rotates is that normal.
@@captainkrunch6372 No, that is not normal. I would return it!
You should exchange it. Although, minds makes some noises when I release the trigger and it is from 2017...
Your call. It's got a warranty.
This was an excellent video!!! Thank you so much!!!
Any time. There's about 300 others you might find interesting. Thanks!
I’ve watched many of your videos, and I’d like to learn how to do this well. Just purchased this buffer and some perfect it ex ac. Looking forward to making mine shine.
That's why I'm here. Glad to have you here.
If you want to use double sided pads I highly recommend getting the 3m quick release spindle and pads. Much better than messing around with those bolts beause you can swap wool to foam or flip the pad in seconds.
I actually have 3 quick connect adapters and on a bigger boat where I'm swapping sides/pads all day, it saves time. My issue is that the recent production by 3m of their QC pads is they all wobble and aren't very well balanced.
You make a good point however, one I don't usually toss out there. I'm happy if people just try compounding over wetsanding honestly. I figure we can get into the product and tool list way after the technique is learned/understood.
I've been referring many boaters and detailers to your channel.
I appreciate that, thanks for the bump.
Thank you. That’s the problem I have. Lol.
Which part?
What kind of 3m compounding wool pads you suggest to use? I noticed a lot of 3m pads have there quick loc adapter you have to buy?
I like the set up you have there with the extension arbor and built in threaded holes on the pads

How come you didn’t go cordless? I just picked up the cordless one for $158 bare tool on Amazon this week. I can’t wait to use it.
Because, as I told Dewalt, I have a buffer that works, every time. I don't need a charger, extra batteries or something that weighs more than my current tool.
For small ski boats or a car, it's great. I don't think it can last for 5-6 hours, hard grinding. If it can't, why would it be something we'd use on a big boat? Time is money. Swapping out batteries isn't efficient for what I do.
A corded buffer does not bother me. New tech that wastes my time does.
@@Local_Boydidgood time is money but when your dragging a cord around all day is time consuming. tripping hazard plug getting up plugged. Once I went cordless over 20 years ago I am never going back to corded. Not to mention how much better the tools and battery life has gotten.
I can appreciate that howei, as I designed the DWP849X and they (Dewalt) asked me to help them on the cordless version, I didn't mind the cord, that never failed me. A cordless buffer on a 100+ foot boat.. Nothing is cordless with a crew of 7 waxing monkeys. Batteries will never last doing what I do.
A car, fine. A newer boat that doesn't require hours of grinding fine. Removing decades of oxidation takes effort, time and power, constant and consistent power, a battery can't do that.
Friends of mine have electric weed whackers, chainsaws, even mowers but they all fall short (while quieter and less messy) compared to what's worked for generations.
If you think a cordless buffer can do what I do, mail me one and I'll do a video on it (I'll return it)
You could be right. I'm not the "guy". I just don't mind cord management and we're all really good at it, experts one might say. I'm not seeing the benefits to me yet. In time perhaps. I draw about 13 amps when I'm grinding and do it for 8 hours at a time. No battery can take that so I'd need a charger and extra batteries. This means I need a power adapter for the shore power, a cord to add the cgfi in-line, then extra batteries. Not cordless exactly right? I don't need more things and toys. I need to get in, get done and get to the next boat that day. I trust my equipment because it hasn't failed me in over 15 years. I'm loyal to that kind of rewarding relationship.
@@Local_Boydidgood I am a General contractor so I have many different tools I don’t run one tool straight 8 hours. So corded is great for what you do. I only use my buffer on small personal jobs. Thanks for the video.
I feel you, I do. In time, I'll be interested in the tech but I'll also be so broken by this work that I'll never end up touch one. Who knows.
My pleasure,
Lee
is this rotary or d.a polisher?and its worth to buy this for painter like me?
A painter should have both. This is a rotary. DWP849X by Dewalt.
I could watch this video, that annoying beeping noise was really making my head hurt
Then I guess you missed the good part. Next time, turn down the volume?
Wait, you could or couldn't watch it? I mean, talk about annoying; proof reading is taught, beeping just happens. J K
I suppose it's a good thing that I'm a boat detailer and not working in Hollywood then.
Oh wait, I also designed this exact buffer and was trying to help people set theirs up. I didn't care about the background noise past the plane landing, my mistake. Sorry about your sensitive head.
Can't seem to find the stand off nut.
Looked on Google? Spindle nuts are out there..

849, 849x, what's the difference.
A letter. Get the X
@@Local_Boydidgood got the X, and 3m quick disconnect its 👍
Can you show the setup for the long standoff to get into tight spots, so I don't have to remove my ladder off transom.

Awesome upload, thanks for the unboxing and info. I am new to polishing boats, 🚤 I had a question, what is your opinion of the 3m's 5/8 quick connect adapter ?
If you do this all day on many boats and have many pads... Toss up. I liked the spindle extender nut and a double-sided pad just fine and don't really save time with the quick connect/pads used with it. That said, sometimes all you can find are the quick connect pads so you need to have both kinds of adapter nuts, sadly.
I have about 250 videos about nothing but, how to best use a Dewalt DWP849X so enjoy and if you have any questions, let me know.
Hello, How can I contact with you to ask I question? Do you have Whatsapp or ınstagram? Also, Thanks for the video it’s very helpful
You just did contact me, ask away.
