Whats the difference between?
• Dual-Action polisher • Orbital buffer • Rotary buffer Dual-Action polishers and Orbital buffers The motors and drive units on these two types of polisher’s oscillate in an eccentric circular motion. This type of motion is much safer to the paint because it’s virtually impossible to apply too much concentrated pressure in one place at one time. Chances are good that when too much pressure is applied, the oscillating action will come to a stop thereby protecting the finish. Because these types of machines oscillate instead of rotate, they will not instill the dreaded buffer swirls or holograms into your finish as long as you use the appropriate chemicals, buffing pads and bonnets. This safety feature makes these machines highly popular with enthusiasts who would like to use a machine but at the same time, are afraid of burning or inflicting swirls into their car’s finish.
3. Will an orbital buffer work with your products? Yes. Orbital buffers are designed to help you safely produce a better shine with less effort on your part. Orbital buffers, offer the safe oscillating-action that Meguiar’s G-110 Dual-Action Polisher uses, the primary difference being one of size and design. Traditional Orbital buffers are typically larger than the G-110 and typically have two handles on opposite sides of the buffer unit itself. There are smaller Orbital buffers on the market, and some with different handle configurations, but in the end, they all do the same thing and that’s use a random, oscillating motion to safely apply cleaners, polishes and protectants. The benefit to using an orbital buffer is, generally speaking, they will produce better, more even results than the results you can achieve only using your hands. The only drawback to the orbital buffer is sometimes their larger size can make it difficult to work on small areas, like windshield posts, or tight spa
