What type of car polisher should I choose?
It depends on your job requirements and the level of your skill. The short to mid-throw range works polishing small and intricate areas, while the long-throw ones are ideal for covering extensive areas. The shorter the throw range and the less power, the better control of the polisher for you.
The M15 Pro Dual Action Polisher has a 15mm throw and 5in backing plate. This polisher covers more area faster than the M312 because of its larger throw and larger plate. They pair well together because the M312's smaller 3in backing plate and 12 mm throw better covers smaller areas or panels with more complex curves where the M15 Pro cannot.
