Dual Action

Think of these two car polishers as knights in shining armor, each with their own strengths and quirks. Choosing the right one depends on your quest:

The Powerful Paladin:

Rotary Buffers

Aggressive Power

Conquer deep scratches and stubborn oxidation like a force of nature. Think serious paint correction for seasoned warriors.

Precision Control

These car polisher require a skilled hand and a steady nerve. Think high-risk, high-reward.

Learning Curve

Not for the faint of heart. Mastering a rotary buffer takes time, practice, and a healthy dose of caution.

Movement Style

This motion is what creates heat and friction to allow for paint correction

Beginner-Friendly

Gentle enough for novices, powerful enough for moderate swirls and imperfections. Think ease of use and confidence-building.

Perfectionist’s Dream

Combines orbital and rotary action for precise polishing without the bite. Think versatility and user-friendliness.

Jack of All Trades

Great for most detailing needs, but might not tackle the deepest scars. Think well-rounded performance without the specialization.

Orbit vs. Rotational Movement

Earlier in this article, we discussed the difference in movements between rotary and DA car polishers. The dual-action polisher rotates and oscillates simultaneously, resulting in better heat dissipation, and is safer than the rotary polisher. The oscillation movement is called the orbital movement, measured by the diameter of each orbit.

Impacts of
Large Orbit vs. Small Orbit Size

The orbit size is different from one DA polisher to another; small or large orbit sizes have pros and cons, each contributing to the performance of an application.

Larger Orbit Size

Small Orbit Size

  • Increased linear pad movement and farther travel
  • Increased pad velocity
  • Less efficient for small areas and edges
  • Decreased linear pad movement and less travel
  • Reduced pad velocity
  • More precise and efficient for small areas and edges

Other contributing factors for performance of car polishers

The above tables are factors comparing characteristics of sizes and their attributes; however, there are other variables that directly impact polisher performances:

  • Speed of the machine
  • Pad material, sizes, and weights
  • Polishing compounds
  • User’s skillset

The above describes known factors that are measurable or unmeasurable; generally, the larger the orbit size, the more skillset needed to operate dual action car polishers.
