The difference between rotary buffers and orbital polishers:

Orbital polishers can be used to correct very minor repairable imperfections in automotive paint. Orbital polishers will not "level out" scratches in the paint, but only fill those scratches in with automotive polish or glaze. Every professional auto detailer needs an orbital polisher to offer basic polishing and sealing services for vehicles that do not need the more aggressive paint correction that high speed rotary buffers provide. Check out our article on buffers and polishers in the Auto Detailing Articles section on this web site. Become a fan of our Buffers and Polishers Facebook page!

Rotary buffers provide a more aggressive paint correction than is possible with orbital polishers. Rotary buffers rotate the head of the buffer through revolutions. These revolutions are circular and are called RPM's; revolutions per minute. Most quality high speed rotary buffers are variable speed meaning you can adjust the buffers speed anywhere from 0-3000 RPM's. Rotary buffers are usually used with "paint leveler" products to remove imperfections like repairable medium to deep scratches, wet sanding micro scratches, spider web swirls, paint oxidation, water spotting, and orange peel markings. Please note: Without practice and proper training it is possible to cause damage to painted surfaces with high speed rotary buffers. We offer hands-on auto detailing training courses, both private group training, and training at our weekend auto detailing training seminars. To see a short demonstration on using a rotary buffer visit our Video Vault.

Check out our Makita, Dewalt, and Milwaukee high speed rotary buffers and our Cyclo, Porter Cable, Flex, and Gem, orbital polishers below. These polishers are a great way to apply your final coat of protection to a painted cars surface. You can use these buffers to buff out scratches created when you wet sand.

BUFFPRO Model JF 180 Swirl-Free Buffer

The BUFFPRO Model JF180 Axial Polisher is a revolution in professional polishing offering a true swirl-free finish. Not only does the polisher not produce swirl marks, it can even remove swirls made by conventional rotary buffers. This is a tool that can buff and polish just about any surface in half the time of conventional rotating pad buffers. Our axial cylinder design means that compound and polish stays under the buffing pad, while conventional buffers fling it off to other areas. The larger pad means that you can get better performance at much lower RPMs. We offer two high quality pads that work with the widest range of compounds to cut, polish, buff and finish to the highest shine possible. Two other pads (black) can be made available to you by special order but will be used very rarely.
