Shurhold Dual Action PolisherA professional dual action polisher is a tool used for removal of scratches from automobiles. While purchasing one, one must look for qualities like strength, durability and ease of usage.

Different action polishers offer different features and characteristics.

Let us first study the drawbacks that professional dual action polisher might have.

  1. Some action polishers are very noisy and vibrate a lot.
  2. Some action polishers are very heavy.
  3. Some do not have the rotation orbit large enough. Small orbital rotation means larger the amount of the time, the polishing job will take.
  4. Some action polishers are very difficult to use.

Now that we have studied the drawbacks, we know what to look for while buying an action polisher.

Dual action polishers come in several types. Dual action polisher, flex orbital polisher are just some of the types. If you are looking for variable speed facility you can go in for the Variable Speed action polisher. This offers speeds to be changed from almost 2000 to 6000 orbits per minute. This flexibility is especially great for novices who have not worked with action polishers before. Action polishing is not as easy as it appears and slightest over exertion can damage the car. This can result in the car requiring a new paint job. Hence it is of utmost importance to choose the right type of tool, with ease of use. With variable speed control you can work as gently for small scratches, or aggressively as some jobs might demand. With easy dial controls, the machine should be able to buff at low speeds or high ones as per the requirement. Also the machine should come with a speed preset functionality which will enable you to not exceed the chosen speed as you polish- a feature most handy for beginners!

The Flex orbital polisher, unlike most orbital kind of machines of its kind, offers bigger orbits – this feature enables the tool to cover larger area.

A sanding attachment is an added feature that also might come in handy for doing some sandpapering kind of jobs.

Disadvantages of the Meguiar Dual Action Polisher

The backing plate also separated in one spot, causing a wobble in the motion, when it did rotate (with no load).  The on off switch is awkward as you are suppose to have the unit on the auto when you start or stop which is difficult in a veticle position

How To Choose The Right Action Polisher

Nov 20, 2011 Posted By: No Comments

Action PolisherAction Polishers are of several types:  Variable speed polisher, orbital action polisher and dual action polisher are just a few examples of the category. So what are the features one should look for while buying an action polisher? The main features are compact, light weight design and proven reliability under strenuous industrial conditions.

The main task of action polishers is to remove serious scratches and oxidations from automobiles. The polisher must offer random orbit, swirl-free sanding and polishing action. One must have the option of changing the speed of rotations, at the same time the machine should perform in a way the human hand does. Under heavy load, the action polisher should ensure smooth running and uniform movement. Let us study the features of the different types of action polishers:

Compared to most dual action polishers, the Flex Orbital polisher offers excellent hologram-free polishing mainly due to its orbital rotation. Even existing holograms on black finishes can also be removed by the Flex polisher.

The Variable Speed polisher, as the name suggests comes with the facility of adjusting the speed. This can be changed from 2500 to 6800 OPM. There is a removable handle on the side, which offers flexibility. The variable speed and ergonomics make it a great product for beginners.

There is also another kind of polisher called the rotary buffer. It functions in a completely different way than dual action and orbital action polisher .The rotary is a direct drive machine, where the auger is directly driven off the electric motor. So it can get a lot of work done in smaller amount of time.

One has to be extremely skilled and experienced in handling all these units, as the slightest amount of over exertion can damage the paint of the car resulting in requiring a new pain job.
