    iba yun.. masyadong malakas yun.. direct drive yan.

    like a Rotary pero unlike a ROP na may oscillating action.

    for a noob, mas maganda mag-ROP muna. easier to learn and use.

    examples are: DeWalt 443, Bosch GEX or yung Hybrid ng Makita... yun can use this for wax applications & removal, surface corrections... generally, mas mabilis ang pag-detail mo. the ROP (random orbital polisher) has a oscillating action so it can be safe to use sa paint.

    medyo steep ang learning curve kasi sa Rotary. this has a direct drive kaya you're liable to induce defects (buffer burns / marks / holograms) if improperly handled but the results you'll get are great talaga. faster pa.

    para sa Rotary, the Makita (9227c) is the way to go.

    BTW, check out the detailing thread. lalo na sa mga first few pages.

    Yes it is available.

    hahaha, i am replying to a 3 year old thread. but to revive it again...

    just bought a MaxTool 7100 polisher with var speed and 7" backplate. just graduated from the B&D KP-600.

    di ko pa na try since walang time.

    question mga guru's, is the MaxTool 7" wool pads good enough already?

What Polisher Is The Best?
