Review on Chemical Guys BUF613 TORQ10FX Fluid_Ounces by Jamal Edwards

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great but speed control isn't great

Surprisingly good. I wish I had received it sooner. It's much better quality than I expected. Includes spare motor brushes which is nice. The result on my black car is wonderful. The digital display is decent, but a plain dial would have been easier. The speed is controlled with the + keys. Revisited 4/2020 I've spent a few more hours using this tool since my last post and my rating stays at 4 stars. The machine still looks solid, still performs as advertised and I'm happy with the results. As said, the speed control is the weakest point. Not only are the tiny buttons hard to find when the machine is running, they also seem to be in the wrong place. Often the speed changes when I don't want it to, but I still have to be careful where the buttons are when I want to change the speed. I also have to change my grip to find the buttons. Also weird is that the speeds go from 0,15,20,25,30,35,40 to the max. Why not 9 or 10? It's not an indicator and may even have a reason (perhaps the top speed is the same as speed 4 on a more powerful machine? I think the numbers are arbitrary, not RPM x 10 [if that's really the case, they should be sold that ]) Machine also seems to get warm. I haven't seen a problem with it getting hot and I don't have many different polishers to compare it to. So I guess everything is fine. and that's probably why it will end up failing if it does.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Some minor things
