Cordless Polishers

Detailers and boat owners appreciate the freedom of cordless polishers.  Variable speed triggers let you control the buffing action to apply wax, polish metal and restore painted surfaces.  Balanced ergonomics and soft start functions minimise swirl marks and user fatigue.

What can cordless polishers be used for?

Cordless polishers are ideal for automotive detailing, woodworking finishes, marine applications, and metal polishing. They're used to:

• Remove scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks from paint

• Apply waxes and compounds evenly

• Buff wood or metal to a smooth, glossy finish
  Their portability makes them perfect for on-site work or hard-to-reach areas, without the restriction of a power cord.

What’s the difference between rotary and dual-action (DA) cordless polishers?

• Rotary polishers spin in a fixed circular motion, providing high cutting power—best for experienced users tackling heavy defects.

• Dual-action (DA) or random orbital polishers combine rotation with an offset orbit, making them safer for beginners, with less risk of burning or holograms. Ideal for general polishing and finishing work.

What should I look for when choosing a cordless polisher?

Key considerations include:

• Pad size (commonly 75 mm, 125 mm, or 150 mm) depending on task scale

• Speed control: Variable speed trigger and/or dial (e.g. 1,500–5,000 RPM)

• Run-time & motor type: Brushless motors with high Ah batteries offer longer, smoother performance

• Balance & weight: A compact, ergonomic design is critical for reducing fatigue during longer jobs
