Meguiar's W8006 6.5-Inch Soft Buff Foam Polishing Pad Review

Meguiar's W8006 6.5-Inch Soft Buff Foam Polishing Pad
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased and used these foam pads with my orbital sander machine and they worked great and did a fabulous job a polishing my boat. The small problem is how it attached to my orbital sander backing pad, which is a hook & loop type (Velcro). The backing of the foam pad is made for this type of attachment, but has a small fiber profile. The fibers should be larger and more aggressive for better holding power to the machine. After a short while of use, the foam pad would fly off the machine when I let go of the trigger and moved away from the surface I was polishing. I managed to finish the job by holding the machine and foam pad against the surface until it came to a full stop before removing the machine away. I never have this problem when using sanding disks.

3M Scratch Removal System Review

3M Scratch Removal System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I helped a buddy while he used one of these kits, then I got one for myself. Awesome. Splotch of paint from coming to close to the garage door frame, gone. Key dings around the door locks, polished and vanished. A line where the trunk of the Christmas tree scraped along the door -- Away!
I'd warn you, though, this is like a gateway drug. Two jobs under my belt and I'm imagining things like buying a buffer -- polishing my boat, or the mini van, or anything really.
Frenkly, I've always wanted to do this sort of thing -- but clear instructions are hard to find. Now I get it, now I know what to do.
3M needs to make a larger kit, or sell a multi-pack, or something. I have a '97 Prism that got cleaned with the wrong side of an abrasive sponge -- it's going to take some doing to get all the fine scratches out.

Black & Decker W007B 7" Waxer / Polisher Review

Black and Decker W007B 7 Waxer / Polisher
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...

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

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. With a no-load speed of up to 2,800 rpm and a 7-inch wheel diameter, it lets you cover big surface areas quickly.
User-Friendly Design and Carrying CaseThanks to the cordless design of this Tooluxe buffer polisher, you can maneuver freely while polishing your car, truck, or boat. This tool features a polisher control handle with a convenient on/off trigger switch. The polisher uses a hook and loop pad, which is easy to attach and remove.
A nylon carrying case is included to make transport easy and help you keep track of the polisher's accessories.
Warranty InformationThe Tooluxe Cordless 24-Volt 8-Inch Random Orbital Buffer Polisher is backed by a one-year limited warranty.
What's in the BoxBuffer polisher, 8-inch buffing pad, rechargeable nicad battery, charger, and carrying case.

Dual Action Deluxe CCS Foam Pad Kit Review

If you really want to take care of your car finish, this is the kit to buy. Together with a Porter Cable 7424 polisher, you can polish and wax like a true professional.
The pads vary from soft to firm. You can change pads in a second. They last and wash clean afterward. This kit is really great.
One caution: it's a good idea to cover molding with masking tape when using a power applicator. Or stay away from those areas and do them by hand.
This is my third orbital polishing system and by far the best I've ever used.

This collection of pads is all youll ever need to accomplish any task that you set out to do with your dual-action polisher. These pads are made of high quality foam that wont deteriorate on you. The bonnets are great for keeping your pads nicer, longer. The sturdy backing plate wont let you down, its built for endurance. And, for good measure I threw in a couple microfiber detailing towelsa detailers best friend.
