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...

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.

It was like looking through frosted glass so I used my Meguiar's 17 and with judicious polishing in about an hour and a half I restored them to like new condition. It has a very fine grade of abrasion which was just perfect for my plastic lenses. I wholeheartedly endorse it especially for this use.

Chicago Power Tools 39604 6-Inch Corded Waxer/Polisher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm so weird, but I begged my husband to get this for me. I'm in love with it too. It's really easy to use. The only issue I've had from it is that the on off switch is really easy to hit when you don't mean to. It was kind of annoying to turn it off when I didn't want to or to turn it on when I didn't want to (I managed to turn it on while I was adding wax to it...and I flung it all over myself. What an idiot!) But, overall, I think this product is awesome. It seriously cut down on the amount of time I'm waxing/buffing my car. I bought more bonnets for it, but I haven't used it again. I'm waiting for cooler weather to wax my husbands and friend's cars. Can't wait!!
When I start my husbands car, I'll get a video of it and post it. Would buy this again, or for someone else, in a heartbeat. I rave about it.

Black & Decker WP900 6-Inch Random Orbit Waxer/Polisher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not an advocate of B/D products. They're cheaply made, and, you get what you pay for. Nonetheless, I was in a hurry to acquire a 6" waver/polisher for my motorcycle. And since I would be using this product merely once a week, I didn't want to fork out my life's pension for, say... a porter cable. The unit is compact enough to polish the tight space-confining places on a bike. It's orbital action is fine. 10-feet of cord is a plus. Only thing I dislike about the unit is the elastic-style pads that are shipped. And, the applicator pad is foam. Yuk. Then again... it's Black and Decker. Need I say more?
Been using the product for about 3 weeks now. No malfunction problems so far. However, something tells me the switch will be the first to go. It's not a prominent switch, making it tricky (at times) to turn on and off.
In sum, I think it's work the purchase... as long as it won't be used for some heavy duty, constant detailing.
