The Ultimate Detailing Machine by Porter Cable Car Polisher is Nothing Like an Ordinary Car Polisher!

 

OVERVIEW

The Ultimate Detailing Machine by Porter Cable is a dual-action car polisher. That simply means that the polishing head both orbits and rotates at the same time.

The dual-action polisher is the ultimate polisher action for the professional or the serious car care enthusiast.  It is 100% safe for the do-it-yourselfer who wants an automotive polisher that is safe to use and provides awesome results.

 

This diagram shows the working action the polishing pad makes on a dual-action car polisher.  It both orbits (small circle action) and rotates.

 

If you have never used an electric car polisher on your car before,  but want professional results that are simple not possible by hand, the Ultimate Detailing Machine by Porter Cable is the machine you need!

There is no way the human hand can achieve the results that are obtainable with a high quality dual action car polisher.  Modern clear coat paint is simply too hard to polish by hand.

If you want the finest results possible, with ease and safety, you need an Ultimate Detailing Machine by Porter Cable car polisher.  This dual-action polisher is safe and effective for polishing your paint to perfection, as well as for applying liquid car waxes and paint sealants.

You can use this car polishers on automobiles (with clear coat or traditional paint finishes), boats, RV's and airplanes.   If it's painted, this polisher will polish it.  

Even if you have never used a buffer or car polisher before you can use one of the dual-action polisher to achieve awesome, swirl-free results.

 


NOT ALL CAR POLISHERS ARE THE SAME

Most consumer grade car polishers are oscillating devices that perform well as electric waxing machines, but perform very poorly as "polishers".  All modern cars, which have a clear coat finish, require a polisher.

What's the difference?

A car polisher has the ability to apply polish (any abrasive compound) with enough energy to correct paint defects (surface scratches, swirl marks, water spots, etc.).  On the other hand, an electric waxing machine, often called a "car polisher", generates enough energy to distribute wax, but won't make corrections. 

 


SERIOUS TOOL FOR PEOPLE

SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR CAR

The Ultimate Detailing Machine Model by Porter Cable car polisher is a serious tool. 

With a 3.7 amp motor (about 500 watts), respectively, and a variable speed range from 2,500 to 6000 oscillations per minute  (OPM),  the Ultimate Detailing Machine by Porter Cable will correct minor paint flaws and increase the shine on your car to a show car level with ease

Comparatively, the polisher/waxer pictured above operates at a single speed of less than 2,200 OPM.  This is very common on all machines in this configuration.

In addition to their lackluster power, the small polisher/waxer machines, sold in retail and automotive discount centers everywhere, have very limited polishing pad and bonnet options.  Most of these system rely on an inexpensive fabric bonnet will a pull string for fastening.

Professional and pro-consumer car polishers all use removable, washable and reusable foam polishing pads, waxing pad and bonnets.  The most common attachment mechanism for pads is Velcro, whereas bonnets are manufactured using high quality microfiber with elastic banding.

 


WHY SHOULD YOU DO IT YOURSELF?

Hey, if you can afford to hire a professional detailer to maintain your cars, by all means, do it!  However, before your turn your car over to a new detailer, as them what kind of polisher they use.

CAUTION:  Most detailers use a high-speed buffer.  These machines are very powerful and the polishing pad is driven directly off of the motor shaft.

If the detailer is not very skilled (and careful), their polisher will leave marks called holograms (buffer swirls).  Most good detailers will make a final pass with a dual-action machine after using their high-speed buffer to remove the holograms.

Inexperienced or shady detailers will cover buffer holograms with a glaze or oily wax to hide them from you.  They will magically appear after your next wash.

If you're a do-it-yourselfer you can pay for a professional grade dual-action polisher like the Ultimate Detailing Machine by Porter Cable polisher for the price of one good detail job.

 

 

HOW EASY IS IT TO USE THE ULTIMATE DETAILING MACHINE BY PORTER CABLE CAR POLISHER...
CAN I HURT MY CAR'S PAINT?

The Ultimate Detailing Machine by Porter Cable car polisher is actually quite simple to use. It's really easy, honest!

On occasion I hold detailing how-to sessions for car clubs or just get together with a group that wants to learn how to polish their car to perfection.  After the classroom time, we go out for a hands-on demonstrations.  I always select the most petite lady in the group.  After all, guys, if she can do it... you can do it.

The polishers have a bit of weight to them; they weight about 6 pounds.  However, you don't apply much pressure unless you're doing paint correction.

There's a little bit of technique involved, but most people get it in about 5-10 minutes.  The technique is to use overlapping motions and run the polisher over your paint at a nice and slow speed.

Proper machine is as easy as following this simple pattern.  Master this and you're on your way!
