More about our Dual-Action Polishers
Use dual-action polishers for paint correction, compounding, polishing, and wax & sealant application. These hand-held buffers & polishers are user-friendly, versatile, and a must-have for the car enthusiast.
What is Dual-action?
These dual-action machines provide spinning and oscillating movement simultaneously–so you get the results you want safely. With dual-action polishers (also known as DA polishers or random orbital polishers) you can achieve a smooth, swirl-free finish without the risk of creating holograms or buffer trails. The dual motion helps prevent heat buildup, making them safer for the user and more effective in removing light to moderate swirl marks, scratches, and other surface imperfections.
What to look for in a Car Polisher
A proper dual-action or rotary polisher should have the following features:
- Built-in safety features
- Several speed adjustments
- Balanced weight to allow for maneuverability
- Can accommodate varying sizes of pads for more versatility
