Machine Polishers
Machine polishers are essential for achieving professional-level paint correction, gloss enhancement, and swirl removal. Whether you’re tackling heavy defects, refining paintwork, or applying a flawless finish, a high-quality machine polisher will make the process faster, more consistent, and easier than polishing by hand. Choose from dual action polishers for safe, versatile correction or rotary machines for advanced precision.
Types of machine polishers:
- Rotary Polisher: A single-axis spinning motion that generates high heat and friction for powerful paint correction, but it has a higher risk of burning through the clear coat if used incorrectly.
-
Dual Action (DA) Polisher: The pad spins on a spindle in a circular motion and also oscillates in a wider, orbiting motion. It's more forgiving, creates less heat, and is suitable for beginners and finishing work
Is machine polishing worth it?
Yes, it effectively removes age-related damage (fading, oxidation), swirl marks, and scratches, restoring the paint's gloss.
What types of paint defects can be removed?
Surface defects like swirls and oxidation can be permanently removed. Deeper scratches might be reduced but cannot be entirely eliminated if they go beyond the clear coat.
How do I avoid burning the paint?
Work in small sections, keep the polisher moving, use appropriate pressure, and ensure the compound or polish is allowed to lubricate the surface to prevent overheating.
