Hey everyone welcome to the Gaming Renewed KZread channel! This channel is mainly focused on vlogging my experience creating and operating my online video game reselling business on Amazon and Walmart marketplaces. This channel will show everything from console and peripheral repair, all the way to preparing products to be shipped to either Amazon/Walmart or directly to the customers themselves. Hopefully this helps anyone else looking to get into this and they can avoid many of the mistakes I am sure to make haha.

Very clear instructions here. I'm researching disc resurfacing machines and this video, so far, has been the best. Thanks for posting the links, as well. Subbing now 👍 And best wishes for your business success 👌🙂
Thanks 😊 so much for the support
Hello man, bit late but what size is that hard drive enclosure?
The hard drive in the Xbox One is 2.5”. You can only use a minimum of 500gb and a max of 2TB.
@@GamingRenewedLLC thanks
No problem
Bro! Water is the key! So much better with more water! I've actually rescued so many discs now that I thought were gunners. It allows you to polish longer. I had a gamecube game that kept halting and so back it went for another minute with lots of water. Each time I'd get farther into the cut scene lol until finally viola! Thanks for all these tips! Still think eco pro would be easier and less mess but the stupid key card is lame.
Happy to help! Yea water helps keep the pads from drying out and keeps the heat down. Oh Eco Pro 2 is definitely easier and way less mess, just HATE the keycard so much lol. But the ease of use and great results from the Eco Pro 2 are amazing.
I've owned the JFJ and it was hit or miss with discs plus it left swirls upon good lighting, I've bought a Eco pro 2 and its a game changer in fact I own 2(one machine buffs and the other polishes) plus I still use my JFJ as a sander only, put it this way if your planning on reselling games for many years to come get it, They also drop sales on their machines couple times a year
I can’t really justify getting one because i never have issues getting a mirror finish using the jfj. Of course i don’t use the jfj pads or compounds at all, which i always tell people not to use their stuff. The only elm machine i can justify is their 50 disc one but that’s probably a couple years away for me.
Its a bit of a sham definitely, however, this market is very small and limited and i can see the only way for them to stay afloat as a conpany is by making sure its customers continue to buy their conpounds for their machines.
If that was true then they would do the keycard on every machine they sell. They only target the entry level one and you are not paying for the compound. You are literally paying for minutes to use your machine. The compound on their site is $10-$15. The pads are like $25 or something. But the only way to buy a keycard is with the compound, pads, and keyboard bundle which sells for $80. That is bs. They are literally charging you $40 to use the machine for 800 minutes. That has zero to do with making money from compound.
@@GamingRenewedLLC no yeah it is pretty bull, but I'm just saying from their perspective it probably wouldn't be a viable business to enter and dedicate time to if they only ever sold their units and that's it. No need to purchase anything else from them. Rarely does a companies products come without the consumer also purchasing more from them related to the product. If you're asking why there isn't competition I'd imagine there's not enough long term gain for a businessman to dedicate his time and resources into. I mean say I create the best resurfacer tomorrow for $200 and no minutes. Every reseller and store owner would own one in a few months and then the market for disc resurfacer would be killed. I'm just saying this is capitalism at work, and I totally get your point, but I also understand their perspective. It's either the minutes or there is no high quality resurfacers being sold and we'd all be using drills. Someone has to dedicate the time to building that business and I mean I know I'm not doing it if the market is that small and return customers will be non-existent
I look at it like a car. Because they essentially are the same format. Dealership sells you the car, and they can also fix the car if it breaks down. So they get both the sale and possibly repair sales throughout the life of that car. Elm essentially sells you the $200 machine, or one of their higher ones for thousands of dollars, and then they also repair and maintain those machines for you as well. Of course you pay them to do it, but in their case, they are the only ones who can repair the machines. Cars can be taken to any shop outside the dealer for repair but those resurfacing machines basically are Elm only repair. No reason they shouldn’t be able to stay in business from selling you the pads, compound, and repairs after selling you the product upfront. Pads definitely aren’t costly to manufacture and neither is the compound so i am sure the markup on them is a very good margin. Selling minutes means you actually do not own the machine at all. Because if you ran out of minutes but have compound left over, which Elm says you probably will because they give more than 800 minutes worth, you essentially can’t use the machine until you buy another $80 bundle to get pads and compound you don’t need just to get access to more minutes. Imagine if a car company sold you a car and then even if it had gas and fully functional, you woke up and forgot to put miles on your keys so now you can’t drive it until you buy more miles lol. Oh and you can’t just buy miles, it also comes with an oil change and brakes because miles are only sold in that bundle lol.
@@GamingRenewedLLC huge thing youre over looking in your analogy is that everybody needs a car. Not only that, some people like to buy two to a hundred cars. Those cars need insurance, there's aftermarket parts, gas, car shows, car races, ect. Literally dozens of other markets for a car company to extract more money from their customers if they so chose to. But again, there's so many people that need cars compared to people who need a disc resurfacer. We're talking millions to thousands. Your jumping around my original point which is there isn't enough of a market in this niche for there to justify there being a business to provide it to you. Only reason we do now is because the minute system makes it a viable business for them. Without the minutes, whoever runs the company, would likely just run a company that sells different products. And you wouldn't have the eco pro. Maybe there'd be something worse, who knows. But there's not no reason why there isn't more competition here's always a reason and I'm sure I'm telling you the reason. Also everything you listed that elm can sell you, you can buy from another company for cheaper most likely. AliExpress I'm sure sells all of that at close enough quality. And come on man. Are you really trying to make the point that car repairs market is anywhere close to in value that eco resurfacers repairs would be. I mean they don't even break often and chances are someone who owns the machines either know themself or knows someone who could fix it themselves. Especially someone in video game reselling. Edit: just want to finish off with, I don't care to convince you one way or the other I'm just stating the facts of the situation. I mean there's not even foreign brands to buy from this is literally it. Take it or leave it and you chose to leave it and that's fine. But as a business owner yourself with time you seem valuable, I'd imagine you can see the point I'm making in that someone has to make that time sacrifice to get into this business and why would they choose to make this their business to dedicate themselves to if they can go with a more viable market?
Oh no i am looking at this as healthy debate lol. Not looking to convince you either. Just two people expressing views is all. I made the analogy to cars because even though all those options are there, any shop not associated with the manufacturer can do the repairs and the parts can be aftermarket. So the manufacturer doesn’t benefit from them as much. If Elm needed to lock you in so bad to just survive, they would use the keycard on all their machines. They don’t use them on the $7000 one or the $15,000 one either. Only the $1500 one. So only for the “cheapest” one they need to lock you into their products but for the higher end ones, which costs significantly more money and time to make, they can let you use it without that lock? It doesn’t make sense to me.
A cheaper alternative that I own, I feel would be much better than buying that kit is the elm gamecube disc adapter its around $15 and you can use the regular pads and don't have to worry about any conversion kits. Before in the early 2000's there used to be a bunch if them floating around for dirt cheap but elm in recent times is where you can get it from. I tried out the meguiars liquids when I first got my machine. It turned out okay but when I switched to the 3M perfect it series I never looked back bro. The jfj compounds are trash 🗑 it took me numerous runs to fix a heavy scratched disc to get it barely working. With the 3M it was 1 run and done! Once my pads are done for, I'll look into the bauer pads but so far My meguiars Dff5 finishing pad has been doing me a lot of justice.
Yea i the JFJ stuff is horrible. This 3D compound and polish has been doing great but i will get some of the 3M perfect it and give that a shot. Always good to have multiple options to use in case something gets changed or no longer available. I’m getting that pad you mentioned as well.
@GamingRenewedLLC Agreed I made a video on it when you get a chance. You might like some pointers 😁
Drop the link to the video lol
@GamingRenewedLLC I would lol but everytime I tried it gets removed let me try again 🤣
@@GamingRenewedLLC kzread.info/dash/bejne/gHeI1tiAXbSbnMY.htmlsi=DRneLs7m2ut9dLTP
For the games that have pitting I would rub some carnauba wax on it and then run it through the machine typically it will fill in the pit before I upgraded to my 3M sauce for the jfj. I saved alot of heavy hitters using the wax the only caveat is that it would make the pads hard after it dried up but you can leave the pads soaking in water and press out most of the old compound and wax out of it and it should make the pads softer again.
Good info! Thanks for sharing 🫡. Definitely gonna try this out next time i get a pitted one.
Hello thank you very much for your video! I have all the materials you use in your video, but I'm having a hard time finding the bauer polishing sponges, would you recommend any other brand? Thanks
The only other brand I’ve used is Milwaukee but they are not as good. They get the job done but they don’t give the same results as the Bauer pads and don’t last as long.
Yeah man rip off. They updated the mod so it doesn't work on the new firmware. What is the other option jvc is a mess
Jfj is good but it’s not for everyone. What i don’t understand is why there isn’t more competition in this space lol. Like it’s basically jfj or elm. Weird nobody else seems to make anything
Can Meguiar’s 105/205 be used on GameCube games? Also have you tried the Bauer pads on them?
It can but you have to use the GameCube adapter plate or else it will cut into the pads. I didn’t get a chance to try the bauer pads with GC games but i will try it out and post a video. The bauer pads are thicker so that may/may not cause issues
also have you got a tube in the machine for water if so that is a great idea
Yea i am trying to get it dialed in right first. Right now the drip feed is too fast, so i have to get a slower drip end and try that out. I also have to find a way to get it to drip into a soft brush or something that will apply it to the pad without the pad slinging it off while its running lol. But if/when i ever get it right, a video is definitely going up with how to do it.
Oh the other issue is that it doesn’t seem to save more time than just spraying the discs lol 😂. So there’s that too
your videos are great and so helpful can you do a video on blu ray discs cheers thank you for your videos.
I’ll look to see if i have any blu-rays that are in bad shape. Usually the newer games come in pretty good condition. But i will keep an eye out 👍
Just because a game actually boots up, doesn't mean it will be playable all the way through. I generally rip every disc I resurface (if possible) to ensure the entire disc can be read. This is the only way to ensure the entire disc is readable. You can generally rip CD/DVD games using a PC but that is not always the case. OG XBOX games require a modded XBOX, Wii/WiiU games required a modded Wii/WiiU as console as well. Same goes for XBOX 360 games. I haven't tried resurfacing any PS4/XBOX One games nor have I ever tried ripping them so I don't know exactly how they would behave.
Yea I mention this when I test the games at the end of the video. That there could always be a "bad data spot" on the disc and whenever you hit a certain part of the game or try to access a certain mode, it will just freeze up on that specific spot each and every time. Walmart has a 90 day refund period, so I usually just do quick tests on games that were in really bad shape, and if they pass that and at some point the customer has an issue they can refund it without issue. Unless they have visual pitting like with NFL Street, those do not get sold because I don't trust the pitted area to work correctly if it is ever needed for data.
Thank you so much for a great video! Was fun to watch. I love my JFJ and i finally got a PS1 Black Disc with a mirror finnish. I used a Rupes fine polishing pad, did look a lot like the Bauer one, they dont sell Bauer in my country. I use Maguiars Ultimate Coundpond and Polish. Do you use the sandpaper from JFJ, or do you use something else?
Happy you enjoyed it. Yea i just use the sandpaper that comes with the jfj. Not even jfj can mess up sandpaper 😂
What is the water reservoir you have next to the JFJ? And the cable hanging in the lid of the JFJ?
Lol 😂 so i basically built a automatic water feeding system that drips water into the jfj directly into the pads while it runs. However, it is still being tweaked. I need to get a slower drip end and also find a way to stop it from immediately slinging the drips all over the place lol. If i get it where i want it, then I’ll do a video and show how to set it up. Right now i dont see much of an advantage from just spraying the disc with water pre cycle. But maybe i might if its working right 🤷🏽♂️ Edit: Just to clarify, it was not running during the video in case you (or anyone else) was wondering.
Jfj is king of repair machines
Nice video! What is your experience with blu-ray discs? I've heard that JFJ is pretty damaging to blu-rays, despite of the "Blu-ray friendly".
I’ve never had any issues resurfacing ps3 or ps4 discs with it. Granted i do not use the jfj compound or pads with the machine either though. Bauer pads and Meguairs or 3D compound and polish gives great results
Great. Video. I have the jfj stuff but as soon as I go through it I’m buying these products. Appreciate you and good luck to your business going forward!
Thanks 🙏🏽 good luck using the jfj
dont have many Gamecube games, dont have gamecube but got a Wii system that plays Gamecube. Think the kity to exspensive being arund £60 shipped to UK. So that will have to wait for a while befor i buy one direct from USA ac cant find them anywhere in the UK
Yea same here regarding not really having many GameCube games. I just don’t come across many and don’t actively search for them either. It’s definitely only worth it if you have a lot of GameCube games and basically buy a second machine to keep as the GameCube one
subbed ya channel.
Thanks 🙏🏽
i brought one of these about a year ago on amazon, in the listing it said 220v but i got a 110v delivered, so i had to buy a convertor, after running it for 5 minutes the machine decided to start smoking and suddenly stopped working, i was lucky to get a full refund, from seller Anyway after the redund they told me not to return the machine but to keep it, as it would cost them more to send refund and refund my shipping costs, and i was sent the £365 refund. I was never able to find anyone who could repair it, i email JFJ and they never responded, bad customer support there, anyway yesterday1st ,july 2024, i was lucky to obtain a 2nd jfj machine for £110 from ebay, it has no cleaning stuff or pads, but i have them all from my old machine, Those pad you show in video i cant get in the UK, so looking for something else. Good video by the way, enjoyed it.
Yea jfj is horrible with customer service. Hopefully you can find the pads somewhere. Ive used both milwaukee and bauer pads with great results.
This person ROCKs Awesome videos GREAT explanations LOTs of useful details Thank you
Thanks 🙏🏽
Have you tried Novus liquids?
No. I did just buy some 3D compound and polish which will be here tomorrow. Gonna do a video on those to see how they perform. Apparently they are really highly regarded in the automotive detail industry.
Dope video, very informative. Thanks for the tips
Happy to help 👍
hey man what are the mcguiars compounds to use? i see u have a few different ones. for all disks, i bought this machine and have been trying figure out best to use and when to use each.
Best use case is to use the meguairs 105/110 when you are buffing and the 205/210 when you polish.
*UPDATE*: Another thing to note is since the GC discs only touch the outside of your pad they only wear that outside as well. So if you are doing a lot of GC discs it can wear down the outside of the pad and then when you go to do a regular sized disc you will not get full contact with the pad due to the outside of it now being lower than normal. I would recommend using one pad only for GC discs and another for the rest of the discs, so you don’t get that issue. Also, i wouldn’t recommend JFJ pads to be either of them lol 😂.
Great video do you have any tips on not the cleaning bit I use the polish (compound) it’s the wiping clean I have problems leaving more marks on the disc
What I’ve started doing more is giving the discs a few sprays of water before i close the lid and run the cycle. It helps keep heat down and keeps the compound from drying so quick. Plus it makes it a lot easier to wipe off after. Just make sure you are using a soft microfiber cloth
@@GamingRenewedLLC thanks mate will give that a try 👍
👍
Whats your procedure for discs with the circular scratches? I had a zelda twilight princess for wii and super mario galaxy 1 with what I consider light circular scratches. I tried just using the mcguires and the jfj buffing pad for 1 minute the scratches were basically gone but no joy. So I tried sanding 10 seconds for both course and smooth. Then 1 minute mcguires and jfj pad. Of course h2o for sanding part. I swear the disc looks amazing except for a light ring scratch in the center (I know I should be a piece of cloth under the locking nut. Anyway the smbg1 was working up until the first cut screen then disc error (btw wii is updated). With zelda I can make selections but when Its finalized and its going to load the first video crash boom. Any ideas or anything you do to recover from this? Thanks!
So by circular scratches do you mean a bunch of them? Or just one perfect circle, like how the 360 would do if you hit it while playing a game? If it’s a bunch of circular scratches, sometimes you just got someone else’s attempt at resurfacing it and it could already be destroyed from heat buildup. When a pad dries out it will leave swirls all in the disc and also make the disc get super hot. Even if the disc looks immaculate, it can be destroyed from the heat buildup too. A lot of times the heat damage shows no physical damage at all and you will have issues like you said where the game will read but have a specific area that it always dies on. In those cases it’s nothing you can do because the data layer itself is damaged. Which is the layer sandwiched in between the disc. When we resurface, we are basically just removing blemishes from protective window cover that lets the laser go through it and read the data. The scratches make the laser bounce and it can’t penetrate to the data layer.
@@GamingRenewedLLC Yeah like the 360 style ones.
Ah. Unfortunately that is probably toast. There’s always a very slim chance you can save it with sanding but its hit or miss. That damage was done by the laser diode cutting into the disc. If the cut is deep enough it hit the data layer and that can’t be fixed. So it’s all luck of the draw on exactly how deep the scratch was. You can make the ring itself go away, but the data in that ring is already gone. Can’t bring that back. Thats why they usually freeze in a specific place constantly.
Ahh! Thanks so much my friend! Yeah was actually able to save 2 out of 4 with just buffing. Think maybe I should not have tried to sand and maybe should waited between discs for the stupid back plate to cool down. Don't know why they went to metal. Wish there was something between jfh and the eco pro. Such a steep jump to go from $300 to $1600.
They probably use metal for the plate because all the force is applied to the plate when you close the lid. If it warped or curved in any way you wouldn’t get even contact with the pad and disc and it would miss spots in the disc or overwork one area. But yea it does hold heat between cycles if you run it back to back with no pause in between. IMO the JFJ is far better but just has a steep learning curve. But once you get it down then you can sand, buff, and polish all with one machine. The Eco Pro only does buffing and sanding. Plus you don’t have prepaid minutes limiting your use of the machine or being locked into only buying products from Elm.
Do you resurface working games that has scratches?
Yea. Only for the games i sell. If it’s for my personal use or just a test game, then i wont.
Are these the 6” pads? Having a really hard time sourcing them in Canada
Yea these are the 6” Bauer pads you have to trim down. Wish i could help but not really familiar with getting them in Canada. I also use Milwaukee pads too (in another video) maybe those might be easier to get?
Nice video
What i find works best is to rinse the pad first in the sink and run it without a disc to spin off excess water. After this the pad has absorbed enough liquid to allow the use of less compound. I also only put the compound under the disc and work in 20 sec bursts until i see the pad is fully saturated on the surface with compound.
Yea thats a good process too. Only using the 20 sec bursts help stop the disk from ever getting too hot.
Dream office very cool
So fresh so clean
That’s very cool how you made the auto water system
Yea i saw how the Elm Eco Pro 2 has a water system built into it and figured i could replicate it for far less money. Pump and reservoir was only about $50 all in. Way better than paying $1900 lol.
@@GamingRenewedLLC you are the man. After watching some videos of professionals like yourself, elm is not that impressive other than its automation. Jfj out of the box is not great but with technique and the right supplies it’s awesome. You should sell the water device for jfj users
Thanks i appreciate that. I haven’t got the water setup dialed in yet to where it should be. Once i do, I’ll do a video on it and provide the links if anyone is interested in doing it as well.
I tried reselling a bit and source locally. I was wondering where do you source from online and what are your profit margins ? Thank you and great channel
My main source is pawn shops. I give the owners money as a “credit” so to speak and they buy all the games and consoles they would turn down normally due to them already having too many. They give the people pawning the items the normal rate they’d offer and then i give them a “finder’s fee” on top of it. I get the stuff for a lot cheaper and they get to make money from items they would’ve normally had to turn away, so win win. I also do auctions on goodwill and ebay as well. I used to buy from mercari but they got too crazy with fees now to be able to make any money. Profit margins are different per item but normally it’s not a “double your money” thing. Since i offer 3 day free shipping i have to eat that plus fees from Walmart and then supplies and time spent fixing things. I tend to lean more towards moving more volume at a lower price to sell fast instead of holding for “market rate”. Its more of a side gig for me right now until i learn more about the business and really sharpen my skills doing board work with the solder station. My only advice is don’t let the set backs get you down and just try to learn from them as best as you can. I’ve made a lot of mistakes lol. Don’t even get me started about buying barbies and porcelain dolls to flip 😂. That failed spectacularly 🤣🤣🤣
@@GamingRenewedLLC thanks for all the insight , do you have a discord I can reach you at? Would love to chat with you a bit.
Unfortunately I don’t have a discord.
@@GamingRenewedLLCcan you break down the cost you are paying to the pawnshops? I would appreciate that very much. I thank you for your insights and time good sir
So its not really a set rate i pay them. Its based on condition and if the item is actually functioning. Also, if it’s complete as well. Normally if they got a xbox one for example for like $40 they would charge me an extra $20 to get it from them. If it doesn’t boot up then we can drop it to $10 if its firmware related or $5 if its a power on issue. Games are usually an extra $3 or so, again depending on the game. They normally only give $5-10 a game depending on the game. Normally i get good rates from them because its a pawn shop so they are not paying anywhere near market value for what people bring in. Plus i don’t have to haggle with the people either. Since the pawn shop is essentially paying them with my money, whatever i give them is just free money for them for conducting the trade.
You have by far made the best videos on making the JFJ an actual useful product! I’ve struggled with the swirls (which drive my OCD crazy) and tried so many things and can’t seem to get it just right. I’m going to try out your method and hopefully start getting some nice looking discs. One question, how many discs would you say you can resurface with one pad and how many can you do with one bottle of PlastX?
Thanks 🙏🏽. Yea either the Bauer or Milwaukee pads are a good option. Milwaukee you don’t have to cut if you don’t want to deal with cutting them to size. As for how many disks i can resurface on a pad, I’d say around 150 or so. Maybe 200. It really just depends on how bad the disks are. If you are doing 2mins a pop for a lot of disks, then you’re gonna get less disks overall out of the pad. But if you can get by with 20secs or 1min then yea around 200 would be a good estimate. So i use the PlastX and the Meguairs 205/210 polish compound interchangeably. But mostly the meguairs 205. I have been doing this for about a year now and literally am just running out of the 205 lol. It really lasts awhile and I’m heavy handed. Probably would’ve lasted longer if i had been using the water spray from the beginning, since you can run a lot less product when you spray the disc and pad with water too before you run it. Thanks for the support and i wish you the best with the JFJ 👍
Do you know where to get the megui res cut polish?
I just added the links to each for you in the description. The links are for the better versions of what i use now. Waiting for these to run out to go get the better ones. They have less sling and is made specifically for rotary and high speed applications. Like what is happening with the JFJ.
@@GamingRenewedLLC My Bauer pad just split in half oddly lol. I only got to use it 5 times.
That’s really odd lol. I could see maybe it started cutting into the pad but splitting in half I’ve never seen before.
hey, Great videos. Do you buy your inventory off ebay with lots of untested broken items then fix them? WHere did you learn to fix all this stuff! I've resold on ebay for years. Usually just reselling lots I pickup of different games ect. Good luck and thanks for all the tips!
Sometimes but mostly it’s stuff i get from local pawn shops. Not in your normal sense, but i give the owners money upfront to “buy” the items from people bringing in games and stuff that they would normally not take due to having too much on hand at that moment. They give the normal amount to the people that they would’ve offered, then basically give it to me plus a slight up-charge. That way they make money still on merchandise they would’ve rejected and i get stuff at essentially pawn store offer prices. KZread has taught me literally everything i know about fixing this stuff lol. Granted you learn your own little tricks and stuff as you keep doing this type of work, or you learn to take 2-3 other people’s process and merge it into a better one.
Just wanted to say that the new pad suggestion was a GAME CHANGER! I struggled for the longest time with tiny swirl marks and was never able to get a mirror finish on discs (especially on PS1 games) using the manufacturer pads (I already started using the Meguiars polishing compound and it helped somewhat....but nothing like the Bauer pads). Thank you again for sharing this info!
Any difference between plastx and ultimate polish compound?
Honestly they are interchangeable IMO. Only real difference is that the plastx doesn’t get hard and clog up in the top lol. Granted if you close the top on the polish compound it wouldn’t either but thats asking an awful lot of me IMO 😂😂.
@@GamingRenewedLLC can you use Car Scratch remover compound .?
I’ve never used it so really can’t say. However, usually any compound that’s good for clear coat buffing and polishing is safe to use on most discs. The clear coat on paint and the clear coat on discs are extremely similar.
do you see any swirls? with any of these pads?
No swirls. But normally if you are getting swirls, you probably need to start using water too. A lot of times the swirls are from the pad drying out during the cycle. If you spray the disc and pads with water then apply the product, you shouldn’t get any swirls. Until you get it down i’d also suggest staying away from 2min cycles. It gives the biggest risk of swirls when you haven’t nailed down your process yet.
did you get the gamecube kit ive been wanting to watch a demo on the gamecube kit?
Not yet. Planning on it. Just haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
where did you buy the compound and polish product
I use the meguairs 105 and 205. You can get it from any automotive store, walmart, or amazon.
@@GamingRenewedLLC any update for the gamecube kit you promised to do a video
Not yet. Been busy with end of school year stuff for the kiddos. Its still in the works. Just have to buy the adapter. The biggest hurdle is finding the yellow polishing pad for the gamecube adapter. I see the gamecube playe adapter, the gamecube pad spindle, and the buffing pad but no polish pad. On the JFJ site they have the white buffing pad for the gamecube adapter but they don’t have the yellow polish pad listed. Not really sure how you could get good results without having both. So trying to figure that out as well. Nothing is as it should be with this company lol.
AWSOME where did you buy them pads
Home depot website. Link in the description
Just got my JFJ in and have been using the Bauer pads since I live close to two harbor freights. I’ll stick with them for now, mainly due to price range. I don’t mind cutting them and they perform beautifully. Milwaukee does seem like a decent alternative.
Yea i would say the Bauer performs better but the Milwaukee is right there with it. The cutting isn’t bad at all for the great results like you said. I also live close to harbor freight, so being able to just get a new pad same day of the Bauer is really convenient.
Pretty cool still looking for uk alternatives if you have any good indication would be awesome mate
I think Milwaukee is sold in the uk. So you might can find the pads. Just not familiar with stores out there. Maybe searching for the part number might help you?
Appreciate you showing how to use non official products with this machine. It kills me having to buy proprietary supplies and much prefer being able to buy things more widely available. Feels like the money is actually going into the quality of the product
Happy to help! Literally just made a new video showing Milwaukee pads as an option as well. You doing have to cut those either!
