Common Mistakes with Electric Polishers

POLISHING TOO QUICKLY / SLOWLY
Polishing can get incredibly boring, which usually leads us to speeding up the polishing process. However, this could lead to poor results. The same goes for polishing too slowly—this usually leads to cutting through certain areas. Finding a nice, even pace is the best way to achieve good results.

TOO MUCH PRESSURE
Using more pressure makes the process feel like it is being sped up. In actuality, it causes swirls, cuts through paint, and creates uneven surfaces. Using the right pad and the weight of the actual tool is preferred, creating a smooth, gliding motion to help achieve perfect results.

ANGLING THE POLISHER
Polishers are meant to be used flat on a flat surface. Using it like an angle grinder is a common mistake. Doing so usually results in cutting the paint and uneven wear on the pad, which could damage the backing pad.

START ON, STOP OFF
This simple method helps avoid swirl marks. Always start the polisher while it's in contact with the surface, and stop it only after lifting it off the surface. This ensures better contact and finish.
