Excellent tool. The polisher is easy to control once you get the hang of it. It easily, quickly, and with plenty of power applied the liquid car wax I was using. The tool felt well balanced and well behaved. The speed control is delightful to experience – maintains the same speed under load or no load conditions.
The tool came with two bonnets, one to apply compound and another for final polishiing. The compounding bonnet is the only one I used since I discovered this same bonnet also polishes to a deep luster as the wax you’re applying hazes over – the bonnet polishes this haze to nice deep shine. I also used a small spray bottle of water to wet small areas to help spread the wax – it worked great. I am ordering two new compounding bonnets for spares. Suggest you test out the bonnets and find out for yourself before ordering more….
I am really happy with this tool, and I feel it is well worth the money. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy a similar tool.
