Default Re: This is my Detailing How-To write-up I have been promising.

tried the handle on both sides, no effect on the noise. it's definitely coming from the motion of the weighted shaft, not the smaller shaft the buffer wheel mounts into.

it sounds kind of like a nut or bolt or something is protruding too far into the turning shaft area and causing a rubbing sound that is metal on metal. i think once the weather improves, i'll try using it a bit to see if it goes away or gets worse or gets hot to the touch. then i'll have something i can state in a warranty claim.

thanks for the responses!
