Best small polisher/buffer?

[lrdchaos]

Looking for a smaller single hand buffer/polisher for my boat. I have a 10” orbital buffer that I use on my rv and the side of my boat, but I’m looking for something a little easier to use on the top cap and the hull when I’m crawling underneath. Also, what’s your favorite pad for applying and removing cleaner wax?

I use this with a wool pad

Depends on what "smaller size" you are talking about. You could buy a variable speed angle grinder and put a buffer pad on that for a smaller size setup. But make sure you get variable speed or a speed controller inline so you can allow it to run slower or faster depending on that you are buffing. JMHO

There is nothing easier to use than an orbital.It is also the least effective polisher.Imho an orbital is more for a new or newer finish.Rotary is waaaay more effective and quite a bit of work compared to an orbital but the great results outweigh the effort.Post back if you decide to go rotary for operating tips,they are necessary.Charlie
