It would seem, why do we need a personal polishing machine for cars, if there are a lot of services that provide polishing services? However, even a professional will not always satisfy the car owner with his work, in addition, the procedure is not quick, which means that it will take time, money and nerves.
Therefore, many owners of the "iron friend" easier to buy a tool of a certain class and learn this difficult art.
But most often, such aggregates acquire car services. And the requirements for technology are already completely different. We will try to figure out what characteristics a polishing machine for a car should have - for its rare and frequent use.
Choosing a car for polishing a car is no more difficult than buying bread at the grocery store, if you remember a couple of simple rules.
The main difference between expensive professional models and household appliances is that the former wear out more slowly and are designed for long-term work with heavy loads, and the latter will quickly fail if they are used for a long time.
A polishing machine for a car, which it was decided to buy for permanent operation, must be very high quality, with a wide range of attached work tips and polishing plates. And therefore, its cost will be much more expensive than models of semi-professional and middle class.
A good car polisher should have the function of smoothly controlling the speed of revolutions. It should not be too heavy. It is better to buy models of well-known brands (Bosch, Hitachi, ZUBR, Makita and so on). It is also desirable to have a constant electronics system (electrostabilization of the spindle speed). A polishing machine with an electro-stabilization system is not common, but without it it is unlikely to be able to do quality work.
For personal use, a polishing machine for a car is suitable, the price of which is low, and it is better not to consider sizes above average. After all, experts have gained strength and speed with powerful units. It would be difficult for a beginner-amateur to cope with a bulky machine. There is no doubt about overheating a small tool. High-quality devices from well-known manufacturers practically do not fail, as they are equipped with special cooling fans that protect against overheating.
Today, the market is literally crowded with hundreds and even thousands of different models of very cheap Chinese polishing machines. Price is a determining factor in successful sales. However, such a polishing machine for cars is a kind of lottery. Products from Chinese manufacturers are neither reliable nor durable (serve no more than 2 years), or performance. Polishing machines of world famous brands have been working smoothly for up to 10 years, and after repair, your car will be polished for the same number of years. Unfortunately, Chinese manufacturers still prefer to focus on external similarities rather than focus on internal mechanisms.
