The right car polish is an essential part of superior car care. Car polish helps refine your car’s paint and return it to a fantastic shine after damage by the sun, pollution, dirt, and other contaminants. Car polishes remove swirl marks and fine scratches for a glossy, show car shine!
There are three basic types of car polishers:

• Rotary Buffer. Should only be used by the experienced professional for severe paint damage correction. It spins at a high rate of speed and in the hands of the inexperienced; it can do more harm than good and can even burn through your paint.

• Variable Speed, Random Orbit, Dual-Action Polisher. The variable 6 speed, random orbit, dual-action polisher with the correct pad and polish, is capable of removing random isolated scratches, swirl, oxidation, water spots, acid rain etching and bird dropping damage as well as other unfortunate paint defects that stand in the way of that brilliant shine. The variable speed, dual-action polisher like the Porter Cable Car Polisher is also a great maintenance tool.
• Wax Buffers. The common waxing machines come with a cloth bonnet and have little or noting to choose from as far as accessories. These machines can apply your wax but offer very little when it comes to real paint polishing or defect removal.
• The dual-action polisher like the Porter Cable Car Polisher is the preferred polisher for the professional detailer, serious car care enthusiast and even the beginner who has never even held a polisher in their hands.
