Corded polishers and buffers provide the torque needed for paint correction, metal polishing and stone finishing. Variable speed triggers and dual action heads reduce swirl marks, while ergonomic handles keep the tool balanced during extended sessions.
What are corded polishers used for?
Corded polishers are designed for buffing, polishing, and restoring surfaces such as automotive paintwork, metal, wood, and plastic. They're commonly used for car detailing, furniture finishing, and removing oxidation, scratches, or swirl marks. With the right pad and compound, they can produce a high-gloss, professional-grade finish.
What’s the difference between rotary and dual-action (DA) polishers?
Rotary polishers use a single spinning motion and are powerful, ideal for heavy correction work like removing deep scratches—but require more skill to avoid burning paint.
Dual-action polishers (also known as orbital polishers) combine rotation and oscillation, making them safer and more user-friendly, especially for beginners or finishing work. They’re perfect for swirl removal, waxing, and light correction.
What features should I look for in a corded polisher?
Look for variable speed control (typically 600–3000 RPM for rotary, or OPM for DA), a soft start to prevent splatter, comfortable ergonomic grip, and pad size compatibility (commonly 125–180 mm). A long power cord and ventilation design help during prolonged use. For workshops, corded models offer consistent power and runtime, which is critical for large or multiple jobs.
