A little bit about me. I destroy polishers. Not intentionally. My work requires that I polish high gloss polyester. Polyester is a very hard and durable finish. It simply shrugs off polishing techniques common with urethanes or other gloss finishes. Because of this it is hard on polishers. I have gone through Porter Cable, Hitachi, Makita, and even Metabo. This is my second DeWalt. (Makita and Metabo in between this and the last one) I forgot how confident and powerful this polisher is. The Makita slow start system is agrivating and after a little of a year of use, when it finally died, I had forgot how much easier it is to use the DeWalt. My last DeWalt lasted 3.5 years, so I have high hopes for this one. I’ve used about all of them. The DeWalt is the best. The last victim, significantly more expensive I might add, lasted all of 10 minutes before suffering thermal shutdown down. Maybe it was just a lemon who knows. But when you need a real machine to polish, this is the one.

This was easy enough for me to use as a somewhat novice. Compare to the crummy rotating ones that you can buy at the supermarket, this thing truly does its job. I used the 3M compounding foam attachments with superb results. This 2008 Honda Civic has never had a professional wax job. It has had several hand applications, but they did not compare to the results that this buffer provided.

After buffing the headlights and the tail lights I would highly recommend adding something like 303 protectant.

I have been doing auto body/painting as a hobbyist for 30 years. Sometimes you get stuck in what you are using and don’t feel the need to change but since I have been shooting Base Coat/Clear Coat for 15 years now, I always seem to “struggle” after wetsanding and getting all the paper grit marks clear. I eventually get there, but with a lot of work and passes.

I had a Hitachi Polisher for years and loved it until the electronics failed. I bought a Harbor Freight polisher which has work fairly well. I decided it was time to upgrade.

LOVE the slow start. Just feels better and less slinging of compound. This really feels good, well made, heavy cord.. I like that the control rotary knob has the RPM designated, before I never knew where I was except for feel. And that it stays at the RPM regardless of load is exceptional. I feel like an artist with this polisher.

Used it for 1 hour today and really can’t be happier. It is quiet, I love that too… I wish my Porter Cable DA polisher was like this.

It really makes compounding and polishing so much easier. It’s one of the “no regrets” purchases!
