cimex encapsulation, brushes vs pads
« on: September 04, 2012, 05:11:02 pm »
Hi i just wanted to know if anyone on the forum has used the brushes and pads with there cimex machine.

Thank you

cheers Dave I take it you find them better than brushes then?
I'm picking one up on Sunday it's only the smaller 15" RS38 model it comes with brushes. But i didn't think they would be much kop compared to the pads. now I've just got to try and find some pad drivers and pads now to fit this model I cant seem to find them anywhere.

Thanks

Gary

Think of it like this.
You have a dirty frying pan with burnt on food.
To remove it with a brush it will need a lot of soaking and scrubbing.
A green sponge scourer will work faster.

I've got some of the smaller pad drivers I was about to put on Ebay, I'll double check that they're the right size.

You can get pad holders for the CR38 here:-

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3862-Pad-Holder-Cimex-Truvox-Cleaning-Industrial-/350359077532?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item519307429c#ht_600wt_823

This is way more competitive than I can be. It is in fact less than I pay for them.

As for pads that I can help with if you have trouble sourcing them.

Been using a combination of Fibreplus pads and Releasit encap( from CSUK )with my Cimex great results and the pads last for ages
