Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size backing plate does the LHR15III use?

The LHR15III comes with a 125mm (5-inch) backing plate.

Can I use this for wet sanding?

Yes, it is capable of finishing steps after sanding, but it is primarily a paint correction and polishing tool.

Is this machine suitable for beginners?

While it is a professional tool, its dual-action design makes it safer than a rotary buffer, though users should practice on scrap panels first.

Does the kit include polish liquids?

The LUX kit configurations typically include professional-grade compounds and polishes; check your specific packaging for inclusions.

How do I adjust the speed?

Use the dial located on the top of the machine for general speed settings and the progressive trigger for fine-tuned control.

Troubleshooting

Excessive vibration during use

Verify that the backing plate is centered and that the polishing pad is applied evenly.

Machine loses power under load

Check the power supply for voltage drops and ensure the carbon brushes are not worn down.

Polishing pad comes off during operation

Ensure the hook-and-loop system on the backing plate is clean and free of polish residue.
