How do you clean and wax a 30' sailboat? Well, you can do it on your hands and knees or, as most DIYers advised, don't skimp on a decent polisher/buffer. I have completed about 1/3 of the work and can't imagine doing all that by hand. Nice quality and a good price.

Compares very favorably to the Snap-On I used in a professional autobody/detailing job. Plenty of power. Excellent results when combined with 3M compounds and foam pads.

Pros: It is THE professional auto buffer. This newer DWP model quieter and smoother than the older DW I've been using. Brushes are easy to find and replace when they go out. It also doubles as a grinder. Cons: Out of the box it only comes with a rubber backing plate for a grinder wheel. A standard Velcro style plate for stick on pads, or the 3M quick release that I use for double sided pads are sold separately from an auto paint supply store or elsewhere. If it wasn't for that, I'd rate it at 5 stars. Overall: Some prefer the soft start model and others dont, but they're both great. I just squeeze the trigger slowly until it gets up to speed. This buffer will last, unlike the one available at the widely known discount tool store. I do recommend it.

the machine is very good and I get home fast, the bad thing is that they did not approve my credit card home depot and I am starting my business of car detail, so I needed to buy more tools and equipment, otherwise everything is fine.

Great variable machine. It does NOT come with a hook and loop pad. Plan accordingly. Way lighter than the black and decker.
