I also thought that the Flex XC3401VRG was still a viable option, thanks to its direct orbital drive for preventing the transfer of excess heat, making it particularly useful when polishing fancy cars with temperature-sensitive finishes. Maintained the Torq 10FX for its integrated vibration reduction technology. Also kept the DeWalt DWP849X for its durable ball bearing construction and 12-amp motor. Its removable dust cover also protects its components from being clogged by the wool fibers of its pad. I also maintained the Milwaukee M18 as one of the available cordless options. The soft start feature on both the Rupes Big Foot and Makita 9237C allow for controlled power increases, making them both ideal for precision buffing jobs. The pad and plate on the Adam's Swirl Killer Mini is capable of oscillating in multiple directions, allowing the device to mimic the irregular rotational patterns common with conventional hand polishing. I added the Griot's Random Orbital Polisher for its long 25-foot power cord, 6 speed settings, and hook-and-loop backing plate. ![]() That said, I tried to focus on including buffers capable of handling heavy loads, while mimicking natural hand movements in an effort to remove scratches, swirls, holograms, and other imperfections without the risk of user fatigue or wasted polishing products. Unlike many of the older single-stage lacquer and urethane paints, modern automobile paints often have very hard and delicate clear coat finishes that require greater efficiency and more "automated care". The budget-friendly Black & Decker WP900 offers a top operating speed of 4,400 random orbits per minute and it also includes two handle grips for added control and stability, regardless of the working angle.Ĭonsidering that a majority of cars have relatively large surface areas with a lot of nooks and crannies to work on, polishing vehicles by hand is not the most effective way to ensure a defect-free finish. This one also has a side-mounted battery pack, which definitely comes in handy when polishing around wheel wells and other tight spots on a vehicle's surface.Įxpanding on what we said last year about the Flex XC3401VRG, not only does its direct orbital drive serve to prevent excess heat from transferring onto a car's surface, but it also comes with integrated overload protection and temperature monitoring functions. Although it's a bit on the pricey side, its brushless motor improves efficiency, while the rubber gear case overmold makes it easy to hold. The Griot's Random Orbital Polisher has been removed due to availability concerns. Simple Plug-and-play or Hardwire - The B124X supports 2 chargings modes, including a simple plug-and-play via the car's cigarette lighter socket to give you the option to power your dash cam for parking mode without hardwiring it to the car battery.We've kept the same trend going in terms of including models capable of handling heavy loads and working with hard clear coats without wasting polishing products.The app displays real-time battery stats like charge level, charge rate, discharge rate, etc. Free Bluetooth Battery Manager App - The B124X supports Bluetooth for compatibility with the free dedicated BlackVue Battery App, available on both iOS and Android.Fast Charging - The B124X charges when your engine is running and can reach a full charge in approximately 40 minutes when hardwired, (80 mins if connected to the cigarette lighter socket).The B124X is the best solution to get up to 20 hours of parking mode runtime, doubling the runtime of the previous-generations of BlackVue battery packs. Extended Parking Mode - With the B124X, you get extended Parking Mode surveillance without ever drawing power from your vehicle's battery. ![]()
