Description:
|
For those of you new to machine polishers, there are two basic categories, dual-action and circular. Dual-action (also called orbital) machines are preferred by the majority of enthusiasts for maintaining their vehicle's finish. With dual-action (D-A) machines, the pads do not rotate. They oscillate or "jiggle" in a random pattern. This random motion means the machine can not put swirls in the finish. This motion is also ideally suited for applying waxes and sealants. Because D-A machines are not designed to "cut" or remove paint, they really can not fully remove swirls or scratches. They may make swirls and minor paint blemishes less noticeable but they will still be there.
Circular polishers, the kind used by body shops, are designed to "cut" or remove paint. They can abrade away the surface completely eliminating swirls, scratches and paint defects. Unfortunately, in inexperienced hands, circular polishers can burn through the paint right down to bare metal. Their higher speeds also make them unacceptable for applying most waxes and sealants.
