Review on πŸ”§ Chemical Guys BUF502X TORQ22D Random Orbital Polisher Kit - Complete 9-Item Set by Bob Kussmaul

Revainrating 3 out of 5

EXCELLENT POLISHER. if i can stand it

wonderful machine. ES stops like any other random orbit. IF it's wrong. The thing is a power plant. Doesn't wobble on flat surfaces. If so, then you are applying too much pressure. I drop the pressure about 25-35 pounds which is more than enough and everything works great. This is my first long range orbital flight and I really like it. The only thing is that he only has 4300 opm? Some of the other long casts I've looked at are getting up to 5000+ ops per minute so this is a GREAT first long cast. VERY SOFT. Almost no vibration, it is silent, very comfortable to use. This is a solid car. worth your money. TO UPDATE! After a few weeks of daily use of this machine for cutting, polishing and waxing, the shaft broke. I have $300 now. I downgraded my 5 star rating to 1 star due to the unreliability of this machine. I'm SO disappointed, I was hoping it would last at least a year. I still like this machine, but it left a sour taste in my mouth for long-stroke polishers made in China. I've heard other dual action polishers do the same. I'll give Rupes a chance. Although they are expensive, I need a machine that will last. On the plus side. Customer service was the best I've ever had. I wrote them a letter, after a few minutes they replied, replaced. Two days after I told them it was broken I received another ONE YEAR UPDATE. Almost a year later. It didn't work anymore. Turns on, just doesn't work. With moderate use

Pros
  • hold my fists
Cons
