Frequently Asked Questions

Which polisher should I choose for my car, truck, RV or boat?

Start with your experience and the work you plan to do. The Dual Action Polisher is a practical starting point for routine waxing and minor restoration of clear coat and fiberglass gelcoat. The Dual Action Polisher PRO offers a larger orbit for faster coverage and greater correction capability. The Pro Rotary Polisher provides more aggressive correction for experienced users.

What is the difference between the Dual Action Polisher and the PRO?

The standard Dual Action Polisher has an 8 mm orbit and a 5-inch backing plate. The PRO increases the orbit to 21 mm and uses a 6-inch backing plate, helping you cover larger areas more efficiently. Both use random orbital motion.

Should I choose a dual action or rotary polisher?

Dual action polishers combine spinning and oscillating movements, making them easier to control for most owners and DIY detailers. Rotary polishers use direct rotation for more aggressive correction and require greater experience. For your first machine, start with a dual action model.

Can I use these polishers on my car, truck or RV?

Yes. Choose the pad and compound or polish for the surface you’re working on, whether that’s boat gelcoat, RV fiberglass or automotive paint.

What comes with a Shurhold polisher?

Each machine includes a canvas storage bag, replacement motor brushes, adjustment tools and a user guide. Starter Packs and Max Packs add pads and detailing products; compare the contents of each package to match your project.
