DEWALT DW849 8 Amp 7-Inch/9-Inch Electronic Variable-Speed Right-Angle Polisher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this polisher to compound and wax a boat and I was extremely pleased with the results. The variable speed dial with a maximum RPM of 3000 was definitely the ticket on the parts of the boat that were suffering from severe oxidation.
I found myself running at about 1800-2000 RPM's over most of the boat but having the extra power when needed was definitely a time saver.
The only drawback I could mention is that this tool is not friendly about accepting generic polishing and cutting pads produced by "other" manufacturers. The Dewalt mounting bolt for the flex backplate leaves few options other than to use DeWalt pads unless you want to use the drawstring type, and I have been unable to find any drawstring pads worth purchasing.

Makita 9227C 7-Inch Hook and Loop Electronic Polisher/Sander Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently took delivery of this machine and just can't put it down. The electronic speed control does exactly what they claim. It maintains speed even running an eight inch soft pad with sixty grit on the slowest speed setting of 300 rpm! The handle is another great bonus with a much greater combination of postions than a regular side grip. This polisher/sander maintains Makita's rep as having the lightest...but strongest polisher/sanders around, this one's a feather. It also has the standard goodies like the spindle lock and trigger hold. It's definitely the favorite in my shop.

Advanced Tool Design Model ATD-10511 7-Inch Polisher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Drive a classic 76 Trans Am - and get lots of scratches and chips on the bumpers from street parking. Wanted a decent polisher for removing occasional scratches and periodic repainting of bumpers. Was very impressed with this product. Seems nice and solid, 11 amp motor has lots of power. Very basic in terms of what comes with it - but for about $60.00 you don't expect a lot of extras. (Besides, extra pads and such are readily available at your local auto store for a few dollar.) Not unusual of polishers of this quality to be $150.00 to $250.00 or more. Slow start is a great feature. A bit on the heavy side - but I consider that a plus as it means less plastic. Comfortable to work with and speed seemed smooth. Tried it on a few scratches on my rear panel and it took them out with a bit of rubbing compound with almost no effort. If you want a quality product for home use and don't want to spend a fortune, then I would definitely recommend this polisher. Not much in the way of instructions, but not much assembly required and it was pretty easy to figure everything out. Since this is the first polisher I've used, I really have little to compare it to, but I am very happy with it and expect that you will be as well. Can't wait for my next full day off so I can grab this tool and give my car a great all-over detailing.

Black & Decker W007B 7" Waxer / Polisher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Without question, this is the worst PRODUCT I have ever owned. Not the worst polisher -- the worst PRODUCT. I bought my first (of two) a little over a year ago. Used it once right after I purchased it, and then a second time last month. The polisher started smoking and getting hot while polishing my car (a leased car, which I was waxing prior to turning back in to the bank), and then finally broke 1/2 way through the job. I ran to the auto parts store, and bought a second Black and Decker polisher (since it was the only brand they carried) to finish up the job. The second one started smoking right away (so I assumed it was normal at that point, since I used two), but it finished the job. Flash forward to this weekend, when I decided to wax my wife's Jeep. Polisher started smoking again, and 1/2 way thru the job, something inside broke and sent small plastic pieces dropping out from the inside. Two dead identical Black and Decker polishers, bought over one year apart.
Poor workmanship (undoubtedly made in China... if this was made in the USA, I'd have a few more words to say on the subject, but you'd expect it from China). But, what can you expect for a $35 DA polisher?
Spend a little more money, and get something that will last for more than a couple of uses.
Oh, and the irony of it all... even with two broken polishers totalling $70, it's still cheaper than a detail for one car...

Several attempts at removing the scratches using other techniques and products failed. I applied the rubbing compound, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel, and successfully removed all but the deepest scratches. The refrigerator looks like new.

Porter-Cable 7424 6-Inch Variable Speed Random-Orbit Polisher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am not mechanically inclined nor am I an auto hobbyist or detailer. I'm just a guy who likes to take care of his vehicles and maintain that new car appearance. Until now, I have been waxing our family cars the old fashioned way: with a lot of elbow grease and the sacrifice of valuable time. I tend to research the items in which I invest and my intended purchase of a random-orbital polisher was no different.
Meguiar's and Griot's Garage are on-line sites that cater to auto hobbyists and detailers. A cursory check of their web pages reveals that they market the Porter Cable Random-Orbital Polisher as their preferred product. I concluded, therefore, that it must be a quality product, a prudent choice and purchased the polisher from Amazon. Having never used one, I paid close attention to the reviews of those who shared their knowledge and experience through comments here.
Based solely on the comments submitted in previous reviews, I purchased the optional 6-Hole, Hook and Loop Standard Pad but didn't really know why it was necessary at the time of purchase. I also visited the Griot's Garage website and, as recommended, purchased the orange foam polishing pad and a wax removal bonnet.
Upon receipt of all the items purchased, it became obvious why the aforementioned accessories are preferable. The polishing pad that comes standard with the Porter Cable is fixed to the polisher disk - requiring the entire unit to be removed from the polisher for cleaning. While it is certainly serviceable and can be fitted with a wax removal bonnet, cleaning of the polishing pad is far easier if it can be removed from the disk. You'll want to ensure that the polishing pad used to apply auto polish is cleaned after each use to remove fine particles of dried polish that can scratch a car's finish. For those as unfamiliar with the terminology as I was, "hook and loop" is the generic description of the fastener we commonly refer to by the brand name "Velcro". The optional Hook and Loop Standard pad has a surface with microscopic "hooks" to which a polishing pad that has one surface containing the microscopic "loops" can be affixed and subsequently removed with ease. The wax removal bonnet, like a fitted sheet, is attached over the polishing pad when the user is ready to remove the applied polish.
Attachment of the handle is self-evident. The optional 6-Hole, Hook and Loop Standard Pad is attached by securing the slip nut on the polisher using the wrench that comes with the machine and inserting and rotating the threaded male-end of the disk into the female end on the polisher. The orange polishing pad that I obtained from Griot's Garage is then attached to the disk via their respective "Velcro" surfaces. The power switch is located on top of the polisher and the speed control is located at the rear.
The machine applies a thin, evenly distributed layer of polish to the surface. I then fitted the polishing bonnet over the polishing pad to remove the dried polish. The job took about one-forth the time of doing so manually and with so much less exertion. The result was a deep, brilliant, showroom finish and an operator that wasn't "pooped out" to get that finish. Subsequently, I removed the bonnet and the applicator pad from the polishing disk and washed them thoroughly with cold water to remove any embedded polish and dried particles. They are both ready to be re-used. I couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase and the results that I achieved.
I hope this helps answer most questions.

Tooluxe TL-10664L Super-Duty 24-Volt Cordless Random Orbital Polisher with 8-Inch SM Arnold Buffing Pad and Carry Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this product for my moderate volume professional detailing company as a way of freeing up some of the higher powered DA polishers. Well, to say this products does not meet up to the description is putting it mildly. First, it does not have enough power for paint correction in any way shape or form, so forget that idea right off the bat. Secondly, the battery life is nothing short of horrible. I have plenty of cordless tools and am highly familiar with their batteries and how to charge them so I know that I am not the issue here. The bottom line is you get about 30-40 minutes out of it...IF you are using it to buff the wax and polish up on a car, or apply wax, which is all this POS is good for then do it quickly. Bottom line, save your money by a REAL dual action polisher from Meguair's or porter cable (which are the same tool as they are both made by porter cable). this tool sucks big time.

Whether you're looking to show off a sports car or protect a work truck from the elements, this Tooluxe Cordless 24-Volt 8-Inch Random Orbital Buffer Polisher makes quick work of waxing and polishing. The cordless design and 24-volt nicad battery offer easy maneuvering and long run times. The tool delivers a no-load speed of up to 2,800 rpm. Random orbital motion mimics hand polishing to protect your paint. This tool comes with an 8-inch hook-and-loop buffing pad and a carrying case.
24-Volt Nicad Battery with Overcharge ProtectionThe 24-volt nicad battery provides plenty of power for big jobs--a single charge lets you polish a full-size SUV without stopping to switch batteries or recharge.
The buffer polisher's battery takes approximately three to five hours to recharge (the first charge will take longer). A green light lets you know when the battery is ready to go. An overcharge-prevention feature turns the charger off once the battery is fully charged, which helps prolong the battery's life.
Random Orbital Motion Protects PaintKeeping cars and other big-ticket items clean and waxed can help prevent weathering and other surface damage. This polisher's random orbital motion mimics hand polishing, unlike some polishers, to protect your paint while getting the job done faster.

Milwaukee 5460-6 7-Inch/9-Inch Polisher with Electronic Speed Control Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very nice polisher. Their is nothing wrong with it. The reason why I suggest the Milwaukee model 5540 polisher instead, even though it is a few more dollars, is because it polishes up to 2800 RPM's. 1750 is usable for a lot of purposes, but 2400 is where you want to be for the ultimate gloss in catalyzed urethanes or old world leaded lacquers. (They took the lead out years ago, and their went the glass like gloss, so next day polishing on catalyzed urethanes is the mile deep club)
I had a body shop for 20 years, did a lot of high-end cars. Spend a zillion hours behind a polisher. Had a multi step polishing procedure. First you wet sand the car with 600 grit or 800 grit wet dry sandpaper. Then you use a true silky smooth tie on lambs wool bonnet and Dupont 606 hand application compound. (The secret is after going over the car the first time with the 606S compound, put on a fresh lambs wool bonnet, and go over the car a second time. It is amazing how it improves the gloss. That way you have a true polished surface to build your protection on. Then use liquid ebony to eliminate the swirl marks, then Maguire's machine glaze, and then hand glaze. People couldn't help but come over and ask you about the finish on the car. Three new bonnets are required) Anyhow, 1750 rpm's didn't do something, like warm up the finish enough to give you mind blowing gloss. The 5540 gives you up to 2800 RPM's with a speed setting dial, so you can tweak it in to the desired speed, which is 2400 for, automotive.
By the way the owners manual, which is available here at Amazon at this listing, and the listing on the 5540 as well shows you that the hook and loop pad is available as an option, with several different types of pads, depending on the application you are using.

Milwaukee makes great equipment, and no matter which model you choose, it is a nice piece for your arsenal. I just think the 5540 is worth the extra money, because of the increased capacity into an area that includes automotive level of finishing. Hope this helps.

Counterweight for Porter Cable 7424 Polisher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product description should have provided some insight on how to use this counterweight...from coastaltool.com:
This article covers the following Porter-Cable tools:
The 7335 5" & 7336 6" Random Orbit Sanders (along with the sander kits we sell, 97355 & 97366 respectively), and the 7424 Car Polisher.
The counterweight is a half-moon shaped piece of metal attached to the rotating shaft of the tool. This smooths out the random orbit action by providing a counter balance to the elliptical orbit of the rotating backing pad. If you change the pad size you must also change the counterweight or suffer unnecessary vibration and possible damage to the tool.
There are two different counter-weights which are clearly marked to indicate use with either the 5" or 6" backing pad. Therefore if you decide to outfit the 7335 5" Sander with a 6" backing pad for sanding or polishing you must switch to the counterweight used with 6" backing pads. The same goes for the 7336 6" Sander. If you decide to outfit it for 5" sanding or polishing you must switch to the counterweight used with 5" backing pads.
The only exception is when using the 54745 6" Foam Polishing Pad. Due to its light weight and the small-diameter backing pad used (included with pad), it can be used with the 5" or 6" pad counterweight. Porter-Cable outfits the 7424 Car Polisher with the 5" pad counterweight.


Click Here to see more reviews about: Counterweight for Porter Cable 7424 Polisher

The Porter Cable 7424 Dual Action Polisher is designed to move both in an orbital motion and a jiggling motion. With all that movement, the polisher may become unbalanced and the user has to compensate for the added wobbling. This problem is easily corrected with a counterweight. The counterweight fits on the eccentric housing, located just above the backing plate. This is the part that causes the plate to spin. The semi-circular weight spins with your backing plate to balance out any irregular motion and make the Porter Cable operate more smoothly. With the addition of a counterweight, your Porter Cable 7424 will work like a charm and render a perfectly uniform finish every time.

Neiko Professional-Grade Variable Speed 7 Inch Car, Truck and Boat Polisher - Buffer - 1.75 HP Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to restore the paint on a red Toyota that had turned completely pink over 14 years of use.
The car looked new when I was done. Now, much of the credit goes to the products I used, but the buffer performed well and did exactly the job I would expect.
When done, the car was a beautiful shade of red and this machine had performed beautifully.
Now a couple of warnings. One is it comes with only one synthetic wool pad. That was fine to do one car, and probably had enough life to do another. So, if you are doing only one car, purchasing just this unit is enough.
If, however, you need more, make sure you purchase products that will fit. Amazon sells a number of products that require a special mounting plate, and they do not tell you it is required to make the products useful.
That was not the machine's fault though, so it gets 5 stars, and Amazon gets about 2 for not providing clearer instructions on how to choose compatible buffing pads.
