Highlights
Quality
Very durable and satisfies my needs to clean up our cars and trucks.
It’s been easy to use, works great and has never had any issues in all the time i have used it!
Water spots, scratches, swirls, haze, all gone and back to a deep shiny black.
Nearly impossible to burn the paint even while working a heavily oxidized area for an extended time.
Price
This is the best bang for the buck.
Just saved $200 for having my car detailed.
You can get a hook and loop pad (velcro) for less at harbor freight ($10).
Works like a charm value for money
Shipping
Shipping was fast, box and polisher undamaged.
Competitiveness
This is my first time using a da polisher, so i can't speak to the quality compared to other more expensive machines.
Didn't realize (sadly) there were better, more professional options available.
I always thought i got good results doing it by hand, but there is no comparison.
I have no reason to consider any other brand.
