My goal is to represent an unbiased opinion so that you may see a more fuller picture in which to make an educated buying decision.

Darren's Note: The subject of car polishers can get confusing very quickly; especially if you are a beginner. So let me lay out all the variations so you can keep up with a very convoluted topic.

Different Names for the Same Tool:

See this bullet point list to see all the various names for this single tool. (This way you can keep up regardless of where you find yourself next)

• Orbital buffer
• Random orbital buffer (random orbital is different than the forced rotation orbital buffer in that both moving actions are gear driven versus the random orbital that has only one of the movements that is gear driven)
  
• Dual action (this is referring to the fact that a dual action has two moving actions as compared to the rotary polisher that simply has one moving action and spins on a central axis point. The dual action will spin and vibrate at the same time.)
  
• DA buffer (DA is the acronym for dual action)

Orbital Car Buffer Summary

If you are a person that is part of the "analysis is paralysis" camp, then you will not be disappointed as the Internet is filled with endless car buffer reviews, opinions, and advertising. You can spend the next 2 months searching, reviewing, and pondering to the point of nausea!

...and still be no closer to your original goal 

Or you can simply follow my professional advice taken straight from the world of my professional life. My words of advice are honest and intended to provide a solution that will actually work for you and your world.

"Paint so shiny and glossy, heads will be forced to spin in envy!"

If you are wondering why I have not included any of the Rupes car polishers on this page; the simple answer is that I personally think they are over priced. Rupes definitely make quality dual-action buffers, but you also pay for the brand recognition without necessarily getting any added power, features, or benefits with the higher price. But many would disagree and don't mind what I would consider over-paying.

I hope this has helped rather than confuse!

Sincerely,
