Car Buffers?

HiddenFruit · Feb 19, 2018

I'm sure we've all seen it in artworks at some point. Those polisher brushes that are usually on the "tickle machine" pieces. I guess I never thought about it before until now and then just started wondering if those really work, lol. Does anyone have any experience with those? Or seen any clips of them being used on someone? I think I remember reading a long time ago in a thread about someone who had it used on them and it was bad, or maybe it was something else. Does it work like a giant electric tooth brush or something?

While I've never seen one used on a person, I've buffed a lot of cars. If they could be slowed down to a very slow speed, I'm sure they would tickle a lot. But as I've found the hard way, you can burn the paint on a car if you're not careful, just as you could on someone's skin. A buffer usually spins at around 2250 rpm and are on and off. No variable speed. :shrug:

Those plastic bristle brushes? I think I saw TopTicklePig put a video up where he used one on a drill or something. Looks a little rough for tender bits.

Haha I always thought it seemed a little rough. Maybe they're kind of like feathers. People like the idea of them, but they don't actually work for most people.
