  • Was skeptical - but works great! No need for professional buffer.
Style: DA Power System Tool
I was skeptical about using this with my Makita corded power drill, which gets up to >1500 rpm. I took the plunge after the reviews and one or two videos. The dual action head has a gearing mechanism inside it that (i) slows the rotation of the pad and (ii) adds a circular "wobble" to the head - hence the "dual action". So the pad itself doesn't spin at the drill's rpm and therefore you don't get your liquid compound splattering out at all. Great! I have used the black pad (which is actually the polish pad) with Meguiars Ultimate liquid compound on my scratched car windows and windscreens. Using multiple passes, the glass surfaces have been restored to a mirror finish, Deeper scratches are still there, but there is a noticeable vast improvement. It is very easy to use, although it can be a bit tiring if you have a heavier power drill like I do. I put some Rain-X on the glasses and the water is sliding off fairly good.. Based on that test - some glasses can do with another treatment of compound to get them even smoother - but it's acceptable for me right now. Will see how it fares when rain falls. I also used the DA orbiter and compound on the rear quarter panel that had some scratches from me trying to buff off some deeper scratches with 2000 grade sand paper - it did a good job on that too. I polished the bonnet using another black pad and Mothers liquid polish.That also restored some shine, but I think I need to do the full process (compound, polish then wax) to get the desired results. The paint job is over 2 years old and wasn't the greatest finish either. All in all - I'd say the DA orbiter works fantastic for what it cost, and really does the job pretty quick. You still need some elbow grease to buff off after you've applied the treatment though! There's no getting away from that, but at least the DA eliminates you having to do physical hard rubbing and is alot cheaper than even entry level car buffers. ... show more

  • Great product
Style: Compounding Pad
Makes applying wax or polishes very easy when used with the McGuire drill mounted orbital polisher.

  • Just my opinion...but not a 5
Style: DA Power System Tool
I used this for the first time to do 2 things on my 08 civic; do a light compounding to the surface and apply a cleaning wax to the body. To do these tasks I used my corded drill that met the RPM specs as per the instructions of the DA power system tool. The paint finish was in a good condition but needed some minor work for the sake of looks. I will list the pros and cons as follows: Pros: 1. Easy to hook up to the drill and once locked in place it stays sturdy. 2. The pads works quite well and do not shred out or tear. 3. Working out light scratches is far easier than by hand. Same goes for the cleaning of headlights, windows etc. 4. The results are good. A silver car will not have the depth of a darker colour but still, it looks great. 5. The tool does not cause any damage but....(see cons #3) Cons: 1. No way can a vehicle be done in 30 minutes just waxing. I took 1.25 hrs. Compounding was about 2 hrs. 2. Hard to work certain high areas such as the roof because of how the tool is held. Doors, hood etc. are far easier. 3. Be careful with the pads. After compounding I was removing the pad and the backing that allows it to attach to the DA power system came right off. The adhesive became saturated with the product I was using causing it to become loose. Same thing with other pads. In my opinion damage could result if the pad fell off during use. 4. Tool is tiring to use and causes some discomfort. Being small in diameter and the area to work plus the weight of the drill I would say it is better for small projects e.g. headlight restoration. In my view, not an entire vehicle. 5. Price of the unit in comparison to some light duty orbital buffers. ... show more

  • Forget that it's more than you want to spend and get it already!
Style: DA Power System Tool
I only bought this to try with my cordless drill. If I had outlets nearby that I could plug a drill into, I would just buy a proper DA polisher. But since I now have this and it works so awesomely, I won't have to. This thing is really nice. The mechanical action is smooth and solid, it's well build, with excellent fit and finish. I expect a very long service life from it (we have three cars which I clay/polish/glaze/wax at least 2-3 times a year). You might be looking at the product and hesitant because of the price - but once you have it and forget how much you spent, it's totally worth it. Here were my hesitations: I don't have outlets where I detail my vehicles' exteriors, and have to use a CORDLESS DRILL. - It works GREAT with my cordless 14.4v Dewault XRP. I have two batteries, and will just about burn thru them both during the 3 passes over a car (polish/glaze/wax). It uses a somewhat proprietary pad size. - Other 4" pads with the "hook&loop" style backing will work just fine. I've got some chemical brothers pads that work with no issues. I find the Meguiars branded pads to be a bit expensive for what they are, and the packaging is super annoying. Definitely keep and reuse your pads, but make sure you only use them with one type of chemical, no switching brands/formulas. It's not a random orbit DA - turns out that doesn't really matter. It does a great job and doesn't burn/swirl, regardless of lacking the random orbit. Other thoughts: It's got a nice weight to it, but it's not tiring to work with. The weight helps contribute to the solid feel. It's quite easy to control and the size makes it easy to get to almost everywhere you need to. It doesn't vibrate so much that it makes your hands numb or itchy, like some DA's do, which I can really appreciate. ... show more

  • Works as advertised
Style: DA Power System Tool
The buffer worked fine. Not too heavy. Easy to use. I attached my old dewalt 12v and it did the job. It was a one time deal and I didn’t want to spend a lot. After using it I would buy it again. It saved time and my shoulders.
