The DeWalt DWP849X 7"/9" Variable Speed Rotary Polisher is a lighter, more powerful polisher designed to restore auto paint with more control and comfort. The DeWalt DWP849X has a CFS Controlled Finishing System with soft start to ensure high finish quality. Use it for auto detailing and restoration, metal and concrete finishing. Variable speed trigger allows the user to control the speed of the unit by adjusting the force applied to the switchThe DeWalt DWP849X 7"/9" Variable Speed Rotary Polisher is built for professionals, such as auto detailers, paint technicians, metal fabricators, and finishers. The variable speeds ranging from 600 to 3500 rpm can be used for slow, fine polishing and for high speed defect removal. Large variable speed dial allows the user to easily change their speed to suit specific applications Versatility : The wider speed range helped to get out tougher scratches and left a nice shine behind after we finished testing this buffer. We do like that this buffer can be used to polish, wax, and buff making it more versatile for different cleaning applications. We strongly advise that you stay clear of the budget options that are offered by unknown brands. In the wrong hands, these car polishers can cause markings on the paint and it’s for this reason why you should invest wisely.

Mike Pennington, a car detailing expert and Director of Global Training, Event Marketing and Consumer Relations at Meguiar’s, recommends a dual-action polisher for those applying their own wax. Some polishers can even be used for minor paint restoration. Contributing to the durability of the DWP849X are the wool ingestion shields covering the air intake. These shields help to eliminate wool and debris ingestion, increasing the life of the tool. But, the advantage of getting a DeWalt pad for a DeWalt polisher is that you know they’ll work together perfectly. Unfortunately, DeWalt doesn’t have a cordless buffer as of now. But that’s not a big issue you need to be worried about. Even if you plan to buff your car, you can do this without purchasing a car buffer. Car wax can be applied by hand, but this takes a lot of labor. The time and effort you will save versus hand-buffing makes even a low-cost car buffer a worthwhile investment.

The Avid Power AEP127 Polisher ships with a number of different accessories and buffing pads, making it a great choice for those new to buffing out scratches on their car. Versatility : As a high-speed buffer with the essential items included to complete the buffing process, we found this kit to be pretty versatile despite the smaller range in speed offered. If you’re a novice at handling polisher machines, it might be a good idea to get the newer model. If you have experience, either of the two will be fine. DeWalt, after all, is a well-known company that specializes in producing top-notch and high-performing power tools

Versatility : The DeWalt buffer definitely got the job done. We were super impressed by how well it removed scratches and imperfections without putting too much pressure on our car’s surface. The various speed settings also helped this car buffer perform better in comparison to the other buffers we tested. It should come as no surprise that they also produce building tools that don’t need to be powered by both electricity and batteries. Many buyers love and rave about this highly rated product. We believe you won’t be disappointed if you go with this buffing pad too. Since this DeWalt Buffer can let you start at low 600RPM, you can now do what is called finish polishing, or “jeweling”. Maneuverability : This buffer is super lightweight and has two handles for added control and stability. Its compact size also makes this buffer very easy to maneuver and operate without too much effort.

Stars : A 5.0-star rating means a car buffer is among the best in a category. If a car buffer exceeds our expectations in all aspects of our testing criteria, we give the car buffer the highest score in this review, putting it in our top position. No volt release switch will prevent the unit from starting when plugged in, even if the switch is in the on position. Switch must be consciously reset before power is delivered Random Orbital/Dual-Action are the best type of car buffers for beginners. The pad rotates in a large circle, but it also oscillates in several smaller circles. This prevents you from working on one area for too long. While this type is easier to use than rotary buffers, it offers less power. For beginner can start off safely and slowly with this rotary polisher by setting the polisher to 600 RPM’s. Okay, it’s a given that you can probably buff your car without a machine. But having one will allow you to give less effort for better results, so the pros definitely outweigh the cons.
