The DeWalt polisher works really well compared to the other brand I was using. The soft-start combined with the speed selector switch and the variable trigger is a great feature. The ergonomics are great, and it's easy to change the max speed with your thumb as you're working. It makes it easy to slowly ramp up the speed of the polishing wheel without flinging compound everywhere.
One of the few cons is that some people might find this tool is big and heavy, so if you spend a lot of time polishing vertical panels it can be tiring. When you're working on horizontal surfaces, it just floats along without any trouble.
At the end of the day, this tool got the job done and it was easy to use. I don't think I could pick up the old polisher I started the job with because it's nowhere near as good. Obviously, there are a lot of factors with polishing things, between pad types and polishing compound, so that is probably the bigger factor in doing a good job. But in terms of spinning a polishing pad around, this tool does the job well.
The tool is heavy duty - it runs continuously with no problem and can handle reasonably heavy loads. I wouldn't quite call it commercial grade but it is very close to it. The average pro working on cars will unlikely tap the tool's potential.
The tool does heat up after continuous use - it doesn't blow hot air from the cooling fan on the user, but there are a couple of metal spots on the body of the tool that get hot - the handles are fine but if you grab the body of the tool to set it down or pick it up, you won't get burned but it will get your attention.
The soft start feature is nice, but there is one quirk: Pulling the trigger too rapidly causes the tool to overshoot the targeted RPM. When the spindle is just starting, the constant RPM feature appears to adjust input voltage or current to maintain the RPM based on the user's input into the trigger. Pull the trigger a little too fast and the tool ramps up the power rather fast - if the tool isn't under load, the spindle will spin too fast and gradually settle into the target RPM. This isn't a big deal as any reasonable user will find the modulation perfect for polishing - but if your finger slips or you accidentally goose the trigger while using it, the tool will respond with a big jump in power. That can catch you off guard a little if you don't anticipate it. The tool has some logic in it - the trigger is more "fly by wire" than a traditional trigger. That's a good thing, but you have to re-train yourself a little to get the most out of it.
The tool is pretty quiet - it operates nice and smooth and at a reasonable sound level.
Weight it a tad heavy - if you use it all day long there is a trade-off between weight and the durability of the tool. I think this one is just right for how it is positioned, but the average joe will definitely notice his/her arms if you use it for a few hours and haven't done so before. Not a big deal, but it is worth noting.
The power cord is nice and beefy - no worries there.
The wool/lint filter for the cooling air intakes is a nice touch.
The nose end with the loop-style handle attached is a little tight when polishing around outside mirrors and a few other places, but overall the tool provides good clearances all around.
I'm not familiar with similar offerings from Porter Cable, but it looks like there are only a few big names that make a comparable polisher - I wouldn't think you will be displeased with any of them. I have owned a number of DeWalt power tools over the years and this one is on par with the quality you expect from them, if not better.
This buffer when you select 1000 rpm, 1000 rpm is what you get. The 6 amp motor is a brute, and runs cool.
Buffing is much harder than it looks. Anyone can hold a buffer, lay it on a body panel, and turn it on. The difference between this buffer, and other cheap ones is night, and day. Smooth, no gear noise, and doesn't get so hot you can't touch it. I was not expecting how well this Dewalt buffer performed.
The Dewalt is made for buffing, and does it well. The soft start, and variable trigger are excellent. The optional front handle provided is the one I installed. Makes holding it in any position much easier.
You rarely buff on a paint job you don't care what happens to it. You buff to make a paint job look better. You want to use a buffer that makes that happen. Not one that is likely to cause damage. I can't say enough about how much easier, and better quality buffing is using this Dewalt buffer.
I highly recommend this buffer, because it works. Spend the extra money, you won't be disappointed.
With all that said, it did it's job well. It removed the oxidation and brought the shine back to the gel coat. Didn't damage the gel coat or leave any swirls, despite my poor handling ability.
