Nov 26th, , AM 5. Don't throw it out. If you are not doing serious paint correction, and just applying a polish, that unit is the perfect tool. Other than the Meguirs little DA I attach to my drill for spot corrections, all I use is a little random orbital unit similar to the one you pictured. Why waste the money on a big, expensive, fancy DA machine, if you don't need it.
If you are in the business of detailing then yes, but just the average person Nov 26th, , AM 6. Nov 26th, , AM 7. I don't like keeping unused stuff cluttering my garage. Ok, I'll either give it back, or give it away.
I don't see the big benefit of a wax spreader, when I can just wipe it on easily. Nov 26th, , AM 8. Just to clarify, if I am NOT doing deep paint correction, but just basic polishing to remove oxidation, haze, and maybe light swirling, then do I use a DA or an orbital?
I like DA since you can not damage the paint. So, I now refuse to ever use a tool, and will do it by hand, but I heard DA is foolproof. Is this random orbital foolproof, or can it ruin the paint clear? Nov 26th, , PM 9.

Polishers come in different sizes, shapes, brands and designs, but this post we going to focus on the dual action polisher vs random orbital. It is funny some considering the orbital vs dual action polishers to be different but we are going to see if that is so.
And also show you some of the best dual action polishers to get. The two things all polishers have in common include a handle with a motor and a backing plate where you insert a buffing pad to. This motor spins the pad which will in turn rub the polished paint against the surface of a vehicle. First, you need to plan your budget and then decide if you will want to do the painting at home or by a professional. The random orbital or the dual polisher is a waxing and car polishing device that every vehicle owner needs to give that little polishing, shining and glowing looks to their car.
So, you need to polish your car to maintain its glow. Before you decide to get one, you need to decide which polishing is best for you. Is it the dual action or random orbital polisher, which you go for? In this post, we will review the dual action polisher VS random orbital. The dual action polisher is also known as DA which means double actions.
This means that the polisher is a multipurpose one. That means that the dual action polisher spins and at the same time revolve around the axis that is spins on. Which makes it produce better work while reducing risk of ruining your car paint. You might also want to watch the video above for more in tell on this.
Random Orbital Polisher just like the dual action is an orbiting car polishing device that moves like an orbit. Just like its name, it moves in a circular flow from one area to another. It has a backing plate that rotates around its reach. One can easily think that both are diffident the same thing, but the truth is the dual Action Polisher and the Random orbital polisher is the same device with different names.
The comparison here should between the Rectory VS Dual Action or Random orbital polisher of which the video here which will explain that more. Remember, the DA polishers have free rotating spindle assemblies. The FLEX has forced rotation.
Because of this design, the FLEX has most of the power associated with direct drive rotary buffers but the safety of dual action polishers. You cannot burn the paint with the FLEX and you cannot instill swirls as long as you use DA-approved pads and products. The FLEX is the best of both worlds! The FLEX is a little tougher to learn for a newbie than a DA polisher, but the transition is very easy if you're already familiar with DA polishers. If you're used to using a rotary buffer, it won't take you long to see the differences with the FLEX The progression of most detailers looks something like this:.
Note: The FLEX does require that the operator pay close attention and have a steady hand to control the machine. Remember, this is a more powerful polisher than a DA polisher. If given the opportunity to test drive a FLEX , take it! Most people who try it end up purchasing one and becoming big fans of its performance. Rotary Buffers, also referred to as circular polishers, use powerful electric motors to power direct drive gear systems that force a spindle to rotate in one circular direction.
All that power is delivered through the pad to the paint. This design makes rotary buffers the best tools for paint correction, but they are also capable of removing paint very quickly. In a body shop situation, after fresh paint dries it may be wet-sanded or color sanded to remove Orange Peel by sanding the textured surface flat. After the finish is sanded flat, the next step is to remove the sanding marks.
This requires a polisher that has a lot of power to cut into the paint and level it. A rotary buffer is often used for this job because it works fast. For paint reconditioning, rotary buffers are the fastest, most effective choice for removing deeper defects like swirls, scratches, etching and water spots.
The dual action polishers, the Cyclo Polisher and the Hybrid Flex can all remove these types of deeper, serious defects but not as quickly. They don't have the same type of power as a rotary polisher. The power of rotary buffers enables them to remove serious paint defects quickly but they come with a high level of risk. You can easily burn or grind through the paint and expose the underlying paint or even the metal! It is very important to take the time to master the rotary buffer in order to prevent costly mistakes.
Notice we've listed two Ease of Use Rankings at the top of this section. Most rotary polishers are heavier and bigger, and therefore they get a ranking of 5. Rotary buffers are the most difficult to master.
