How to use a Dual-Action Machine Polisher - steviewevie - 10-07-2017

There's a very comprehensive guide to using a dual-action machine polisher (e.g. G220) over at Detailing World, here.

Please note that polishers are normally either "rotary" or "dual-action". Dual-action polishers are typically easier to use for those without experience of using machine polishers, but consulting the respective guide should help you out whichever type you have.

Mabozza Ritchie nice one Steve, i'm hoping to use mine (Kestrel) for the first time before JAE :thumbup:

ok, but the Kestrel is a rotary polisher, not dual-action, isn't it ? Which model of Kestrel is it ?

I'll post up a link to the equivalent guide for rotary polishers.

I've never used a machine polisher myself, so best not to get me to do that ! :laugh:

It is a Kestrel DAS. I thought the DA bit was dual action ?

ok cool, yes, that's dual action. Sorry, I was thinking of a different Kestrel which is rotary.
