Random Orbital Polisher
An orbital polisher is also known as a random orbital polisher. An orbital polishing machine spins the polishing pad in two ways. The polishing pad rotates in a large circle, but it also oscillates in several small circles within the larger circle. This prevents friction and too much heat as it removes imperfections from car paint. In contrast to a rotary polisher, it is easier to use but has much less power. An orbital buffer removes scratches, swirls and holograms. It is the best buffer to restore car paint back to its gleaming glory!
Difference Rotary and Orbital Polisher
A rotary polisher spins the polishing pad in a clockwise direction, it usually has a direct drive motor. A rotary buffer repeatedly polishes the same area over and over again. You'll need to make sure that you don't overdo it by going through the paint layer. Therefore, the best rotary polishers are commonly used by professionals and are not recommended for first-time users. The motors and drive units used to build random, orbital polishers offer two different mechanical actions to spin the buffing pad when cleaning, polishing or adding a coating of wax to an automotive finish. Unlike a rotary buffer however, instead of using a direct drive mechanism to rotate the buffing pad in one direction, orbital polishers use a mechanism that causes the pad to both rotate in a circle and at the same time the pad oscillates in an eccentric pattern inside this larger, main rotating pattern or action of the polishing machine.
Orbital Buffer
Random orbital polishers move in two directions as opposed to the single rotation of the high-speed car polisher which makes it a safer choice. It has long been promoted as the safest type of car buffer to polish a car with.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best polisher?
What is the best polisher is different for each user. For some, a dual action polisher is the best, whereas others find a rotary polisher best for repairing deep scratches and damaged or dull paintwork.
How does a polisher work?
A polisher works electrically, battery-powered or pneumatically. A polisher is powered by a motor that provides power and torque. Thereby, a polisher works with a polishing pad and polishing compound that you can use to polish paint and a car.
What materials can you polish with our machines?
There are different materials you can polish with our machines. The most common materials you will polish is car paint, gelcoat, polyester, plastic and other types of paint.
What is a rotary polisher?
A rotary polisher is a device whose pad spins. Because of his movement, a rotary polisher creates more heat with which you can remove deep scratches on the car and restore dull paint to original high gloss.
What is an orbital polisher?
An orbital polisher is the best polisher for beginner, car enthusiast and professional car detailer. With a dual action polisher, the pad spins on two axis. With this system, the polishing pad rotates both around and on its own axis, creating a “shake” movement while polishing.
Which polisher for beginners?
As a beginner, you want to know which polisher is suitable for you. We recommend an orbital polisher. A dual action polisher is safe to use by anyone who wants to start polishing. With an eccentric polisher you can, as a beginner, remove scratches on a car and polish paintwork back to a shine that makes it even more beautiful than brand new.
Can you use a polisher to sand as well?
Unfortunately, you cannot sand with a polisher the way you can with a sander. To sand, the recommendation is to use an orbital sander. However, an orbital polisher is sometimes used for wet sanding of car paint and clear coat.
Which polishing compound to use?
Which polishing compound to use depends on the result you want. Use a coarse polish to polish deep scratches in a paintwork and restore dull car paint, a medium polish to remove superficial scratches, swirls and holograms and a finishing polish to give a car paint shine and depth.
What speed should I use for polishing?
The speed you need to polish depends on the result you want to achieve. If you start polishing at a low speed, you will have a higher paint correction. If you start polishing at higher speeds, you will bring the paint to maximum gloss, depth and reflection.
