AVID POWER Buffer Polisher, 6-inch Dual Action/DA Polisher for Car Detailing, Random Orbital Car Buffer Polisher Waxer Kit with Variable Speed & 3 Polishing Pads

The AVID POWER Dual Action Car Buffer Polisher is a 6-inch orbital polisher explicitly designed for car detailing. It features six variable speed settings, a detachable handle, and three polishing pads, making it a comprehensive buffing system. I used this buffer on my car and was impressed with the results. The speed settings range from very low to high, allowing it to tackle tough imperfections and deliver a brilliant shine effectively. Assembling the product is straightforward, as all necessary tools are included in the package. The three polishing pads provided are versatile and suitable for addressing various issues. This buffer is user-friendly and performs well at any speed. Given its features and performance, it offers excellent value for the price. I highly recommend and rate this product a perfect ten out of ten.

Perfect weight and balance, the variable speed is amazing, it goes from gentle dual action to hold on baby with two hands. I use it on my vehicles, both Toyotas. IF you are up to speed on what colored pads do what when it comes you polishing and waxing (polishing for perfection, wax for protection) this devise is a must have if you are passionate about maintaining your vehicles paint job. You could spend more money, but then your just paying for the name. This does fantastic for the price, every week usage for 2 month, not a single problem. Also you can purchase on amazon different size diameter agitating heads if the 6 inch head is to much diameter.

Jury still out, but researched real DA Polishers and this was the best for the money. Cheaper Chinese ones I strayed away from, this is probably Chinese but better quality. Seems loud, has real Dual Action Orbital rotation so good for beginners like me. Pads are about another $20 if you buy Harbor Freights cheapest DA polisher for $65. I am pretty sure this will work well and I've got several cars I like to maintain mechanically as well as the paint job.

This buffer I purchased for a friend, I have one just like it that I have used for several years and it does great. Not a professional buffer, but definitely stands up to the weekend Warriors. It also has variable speed and orbital to keep from burning the paint. Which is easy to do with the larger size buffer or even the small ones without it being orbital.

If I were to recommend a product to a friend, the three things I will look for: 1. A good quality product. 2. Warranty 3. Customer Service This product far exceeded my expectations on all three of these which is very rare. I received the polisher, opened the box and I can tell it's a solid build. I used it on two of my cars and it worked like a champ. I used the pads that came along and didn't have a single issues with those. I can tell why this polisher has thousands of positive feedback from various customers. I opened the box, and got a card to register my product for 6 months additional warranty on top of 2 year warranty that it already came with. I registered it and now I have 2 and a half year warranty on it, which is not common even with many named brands. The customer service rep was friendly and within hours sent me a confirmation email for extra warranty. I was impressed with their service so far. Next day, I used it for the first time. During my first use I broke the handle on the polisher. This was due to mishandling on my end, and I couldn't use it anymore without it. I reached out to the customer service again to order the handle and pay for it as long as I receive the original part. To my surprise, the reply I got was they have shipped out a new handle to me without any charge. No questions asked and $0. 5 days later, I received the part in mail. I opened the box, and it turned out I was sent a wrong part. I was sent a pad base plate, instead of the handle that I needed. I reached out to their customer service again, offering to send the base plate back and ask them to send me the handle. They got back to me with another tracking number of handle that was shipped out at no charge without asking to return the base plate that was already sent to me. I am glad that I picked this product and already personally recommended to a lot of friends. There are some other similar polishers that look the same and are few bucks cheaper than this, but it worth paying a bit extra and have a piece of mind that this company will go out of its way to help you if you have any issue with their product.

Works well for my cars A little on the loud side but good.

I think you have to really finesse it for it to work as advertised. I started with the yellow pad and a meguire cleaner compound wax 105 to cut the oxidation and swirls. The manual says it works best with light pressure...well, maybe because the head will literally stop rotation if you apply more than light pressure. So, then you are left with a random orbital, not a true DA if you are trying to get some stubborn paint clean. I then got to the polish (meguire 205) and the orange pad. Now whether I had the pad centered better or the pad was better balanced, or it was a lighter weight polish, I had better luck with this one on speed 4. I got better rotation throughout the job. I think it would be just right if the motor was a little stronger. Going to try their long throw model with the 7A motor and see how that feels in comparison. Just be aware of making sure your pad is dead center and prime your pad so it doesn't get caked with compound/polish to throw off the balance.

I know it's very early to do a review as it only arrived today (September 30, 2023), but I put it straight to work. I spent close to 4 hours washing and compounding my 11 year old minivan, it was in pretty rough shape as it was never taken care of for 9 years and was gifted to me by my daughter after my car got destroyed by a tornado. After a lot of mechanical, body work and headlight restoration, getting the paintwork up together was the final stage. I did a fair bit of research on different random orbit polishers from different manufacturers and decided to give this one a try because of the good reviews on YouTube. I originally looked at the Porter Cable DA polisher but at almost 3 times the cost and 1/2 amp less power than this one, I decided against it. I have never used a random orbital polisher before so didn't want to spend a lot of money on something I didn't know that I would like and found this one was also on sale. I like that it comes with a spare set of brushes, 3 pads, 1 each for cutting, polishing and waxing, and they seem to be of decent quality. I used the orange cutting pad with Maguiars Ultimate Compound after washing, decontaminating and drying the paint. I also used a couple of squirts of water on the pad from time to time just to stop it from drying out and to keep it lubricated. The results were amazing as it removed 90% of the scratches and swirl marks and all of the oxidation, tomorrow I will use Maguiars Ultimate Polish to remove the last traces of scratches and swirl marks prior to waxing. The paint went from very rough to silky smooth with just the compound so I can't wait to see what happens when I finish it off tomorrow. The machine is very well balanced, low vibration, fairly quiet and has lots of power (5 Amp, 600 Watt) and I found that the sweet spot for compounding was at speed level 4. I tried to stall out the machine but couldn't even with a lot of pressure put on it, it just kept on spinning and oscillating. I found that I basically used the front handle just to guide the machine as the machine was very capable of doing all the work for me. I then washed the pad after I finished in warm water with a little Dawn dish detergent, attached it to a 5 inch drill mounted backing plate and spun all the excess water out and it came out like it was brand new again. My experience with this machine today has been nothing but positive and I found it very easy to use, this coming from a 62 year old man that says something. I will update in a month or so after I use it a few more times (weather permitting in Canada). Would I recommend it, so far yes. Update, October 7, 2023. I decided to give the van a follow up compound and polish but roughly 3/4 through doing my van the yellow pad separated from the backing cloth and shot down the driveway with the backing cloth still attached to the backing plate. Thankfully I was working on the sliding door so there was no weight on the pad from the machine (no damage to the paint), so I switched to the orange polishing pad to finish the job. After I finished I went wash the orange polishing pad and noticed that the backing cloth was separating from the pad. I contacted Avid Power directly (via email) and informed them of what had happened and their response was awesome. They appolagized for the issue and said they would send out replacement pads immediately and that I should have them on my doorstep in roughly 15 day's. They also informed me that once you register your DA polisher (which I did) the machine is covered under warranty for two years. This is customer service at it's finest and can't wait to get the new improved pads. I will update again when I receive the replacement pads. Update October 23, 2023. The new replacement pads arrived today (via expedited shipping) and they have put a hole through the center of two of the pads and it looks like they have changed the adhesive that holds the pad to the backing material, the orange pad looks the same as the original that came with the polisher. They kept to their word and this shows me the dedication to their warranty and customer service, thank you Zoey for all your help. I can definitely recommend this polisher to anyone who wants to clear up any paint defects and clean their vehicles paint.

It works really well. The only issue I had with it was that when I was about three quatres of the way doing my car, the polishing pad split on me. The Velcro part came off the pad which scratched my paint a little bit. I did manage to fix the paint but I had to go buy a better pad to finish the job.

Great power , quality included pads , single speed only

My fibre glass trailers gel coat was chalked from extreme sunlight and weathering. Polisher worked as advertised . Was really impressed with this product. Made short work of what would have been a long job . Im really glade I purchased this product. . Would highly recommend this product.

Works as advertised. Feels very solid. The hook&loop system holds the pad on tightly….almost too tightly. Wish I could find smaller,(3”), backing plate for it, for smaller areas. I’ve used it several times now. I have come to realize that there is absolutely no difference between the pads, other than the colour. They are supposed to have different textures, or firmness, but they are identical.
