Product Information

So it stands to reason that Chemical Guys, a boutique car detailing product manufacturer, built a great polisher to use with their products. The TORQ 10FX Random Orbital Polisher is designed to deliver precision power. Its six variable speeds provide a smooth delivery of buffing and polishing power to your car’s finish.

The 7424XP Variable Speed Polisher is marketed as the safest car buffing machine available because it features a random orbit, heat overload protection, and variable speed options, all of which prevent you from damaging your car’s paint. It has a 4.5 amp motor and fits 6-inch pads. The unit rotates at 2,500-6,800 orbits per minute. Versatility : The wider speed range helped to get out tougher scratches and left a nice shine behind after we finished testing this buffer. We do like that this buffer can be used to polish, wax, and buff making it more versatile for different cleaning applications.Dual Handle: Following on from the weight, some models offer a dual handle which can provide a more comfortable experience for prolonged periods of use. You can then use the device with both hands. This is a great option to consider adding. There are generally two types of polisher. The first, and usually cheapest, has an orbital action, moving in small circles rather than rotating. It is safer to use, but takes longer to get a good shine. Rotary polishers have heads that spin at a variable speed. They achieve a shine faster, but you must ensure that you don’t wear through the paint on sharp edges. How we tested them Most buffers come with a “velcro” or hook and loop disc as a base. To get started, you will attach a foam applicator pad to use with your wax and polish. These pads come in different densities or “roughness” depending on the condition of the vehicle’s paint. With a lightweight and balanced ergonomic design (BED), our team members weren’t getting fatigued using this polisher even after several hours of use. While unable to reach exceptionally high speeds, this car buffer offers more than enough power. We really enjoyed working with the DeWalt car buffer. This orbital polisher was incredibly maneuverable, easy to hold, and didn’t bother our review team members when using it for extended periods of time. It offers plenty of power to work with and we especially appreciated the fact that variable speed settings are denoted in RPM rather than arbitrary speed rating numbers.

Random Orbital/Dual-Action are the best type of car buffers for beginners. The pad rotates in a large circle, but it also oscillates in several smaller circles. This prevents you from working on one area for too long. While this type is easier to use than rotary buffers, it offers less power. The Avid Power AEP127 Polisher ships with a number of different accessories and buffing pads, making it a great choice for those new to buffing out scratches on their car. Using a car polishing machine may look like a hassle, but it’s actually pretty simple. The advice is to go gently and take your time. Rushing or going too-hard too-soon could result in your paint job needing expensive expert help.

Two Types of Car Buffers

Typically, you work the buffer up and down in vertical passes and then repeat right to left with horizontal passes, overlapping the passes by one third. This way, you will still be doing multiple passes with the car buffer on a single panel to ensure even results and complete coverage. The slim, ergonomic design makes it easy to hold and control, with little vibration. The TORQ 10FX Random Orbital Polisher powers through swirls, scratches, and defects on any factory finishes and can be used to apply car wax and polish in mere minutes. Maneuverability : As the only fully cordless buffer we tested, there’s no comparison to how easy this buffer was to maneuver without concern of a cord interfering during the buffing process. The compact size also made this buffer easy to move around and control.

Using his advice, we tested the units on painted panels, using the recommended polishing and finishing pads. Machines were judged on the motor’s torque, speed adjustments, accessories, weight and noise levels. We also gave points to those that felt balanced and had longer power cables. Price was also considered, using posted online sources. How to use a polisher If you have been washing or detailing your cars at home, you probably have some Meguiar’s products on your shelf. This company has been a mainstay in car detailing for ages, and this variable polisher shows why they have a reputation for quality. A car buffer should be used as part of a complete car cleaning regime. You’ll need to ensure the surface is prepped and ready, so use a car shampoo. While you can go buffing without it, the finish is smoother with dedicated car polish. And don’t forget to seal the deal with a car wax.Speed : Since this buffer starts at a higher speed, we found it somewhat harder to control and could be difficult for beginners to operate. That being said, we found the buffer to be effective and efficient, which can be attributed to the higher speeds. The power of a DA polisher is a necessity for spreading wax – to save you time. If you get in a situation where you need a little restoration, our NT300 Dual-Action polisher is an 8mm stroke and bridges the gap between DIY and Pro. So [I recommend] a DA polisher and of course accessories [the pads that go with it].” Both units are aimed at the occasional DIY-er, so we could understand why a more serious shiner would want to upgrade to the Draper machine. This might be small, but it’s versatile enough to handle intricate curves or bigger panels. It also gives the best blend Buffing is a paint correction process that usually utilizes wax to smooth out a desired area of the vehicle. Polishing utilizes abrasive materials to level out flaws in a paint job. Is buffing good for your car? What sets the TORQ 10FX Random Orbital Polisher apart from other car buffers is its digital interface which displays the speed control buttons. This user-friendly design allows for easy adjustment of the 700-watt motor. It rotates at 1,500-4,200 opm (orbits per minute) and works with any 3-6-inch pad.
