Polishers

What is the best polisher is different for each user. For some, a dual action polisher is the best, whereas others find a rotary polisher best for repairing deep scratches and damaged or dull paintwork.

A polisher works electrically, battery-powered or pneumatically. A polisher is powered by a motor that provides power and torque. Thereby, a polisher works with a polishing pad and polishing compound that you can use to polish paint and a car.

There are different materials you can polish with our machines. The most common materials you will polish is car paint, gelcoat, polyester, plastic and other types of paint.

A rotary polisher is a device whose pad spins. Because of his movement, a rotary polisher creates more heat with which you can remove deep scratches on the car and restore dull paint to original high gloss.

An orbital polisher is the best polisher for beginner, car enthusiast and professional car detailer. With a dual action polisher, the pad spins on two axis. With this system, the polishing pad rotates both around and on its own axis, creating a “shake” movement while polishing.

As a beginner, you want to know which polisher is suitable for you. We recommend an orbital polisher. A dual action polisher is safe to use by anyone who wants to start polishing. With an eccentric polisher you can, as a beginner, remove scratches on a car and polish paintwork back to a shine that makes it even more beautiful than brand new.

Unfortunately, you cannot sand with a polisher the way you can with a sander. To sand, the recommendation is to use an orbital sander. However, an orbital polisher is sometimes used for wet sanding of car paint and clear coat.

Which polishing compound to use depends on the result you want. Use a coarse polish to polish deep scratches in a paintwork and restore dull car paint, a medium polish to remove superficial scratches, swirls and holograms and a finishing polish to give a car paint shine and depth.

The speed you need to polish depends on the result you want to achieve. If you start polishing at a low speed, you will have a higher paint correction. If you start polishing at higher speeds, you will bring the paint to maximum gloss, depth and reflection.
