Rotary Machine Polishers - by Dodo Juice

What is a Rotary Polisher?

Rotary car machine polishers get their name because of the single motion around a centre point. They are similar to a drill but geared in a way that offers you the torque needed to spin a large backing plate and pad. Rotary machine polishers, sometimes referred to as a "mop", typically have slower speeds than those found on drills or angle grinders; this is then more suitable to machine polishing your car's delicate paintwork.

Why polish a car with a rotary?

Rotary Polisher offers a direct action, providing high levels of friction. This is particularly effective for correcting badly damaged paintwork. A rotary car polisher can often provide very high levels of gloss when used at lower speeds with lighter compounds and pads. A slightly tricker tool to master compared to a Dual Action, but when you do, the rotary polishing machine delivers incredible results, sometimes beyond what other types can achieve.

Whether you're an enthusiast or professional detailer, there's a machine polisher kit for you; and you can replenish the pads and compounds just as you would your wheel cleaner or shampoo.
