Dual Action Polisher
A dual action polisher spins and oscillates its pad at the same time, making it safer for beginners than a rotary polisher.
What is Dual Action Polisher?
It is used to remove swirls and light scratches. Different pads and polishes control cutting power. It is also used to apply waxes and sealants. Paint correction needs good light to see swirls and check the result.
How it works
The pad moves in an off-centre orbit while spinning, which spreads heat and reduces the risk of burning paint.
Why it matters for your car
Clean the paint and test on a small area first. Paint thickness is limited; aggressive polishing removes clear coat.
