It would seem, why do you need a personal polishing machine for cars, if there are a lot of services that provide polishing services? However, even a professional will not always satisfy the car owner with his work, besides, the procedure is not fast, which means that it will take time, money and nerves.

Therefore, it is easier for many owners of an "iron friend" to buy an instrument of a certain class and learn this difficult art.

But most often such units are purchased by car services. And the requirements for technology are already completely different. Let's try to figure out what characteristics a car polishing machine should have - for its rare and frequent use.

Choosing a car polisher is as easy as buying bread at the grocery store if you remember a few simple rules.

The main difference between expensive professional models and home appliances is thatthe former wear out more slowly and are designed for continuous work with heavy loads, while the latter will quickly fail during long operation.

The polishing machine for cars, which it was decided to buy for permanent work, must be of very high quality, with a wide range of attached working nozzles and polishing plates. And therefore, its cost will be much more expensive than semi-professional and middle-class models.

A good car polisher should have a variable speed control function. It shouldn't be too heavy. It is better to buy models of well-known brands (Bosch, Hitachi, ZUBR, Makita, and so on). It is also desirable to have a system of constant electronics (a system for electrostabilization of the spindle speed). A polishing machine with an electrostabilization system is not common, but without it it is unlikely that you will be able to do a quality job.

For personal use, a polishing machine for cars is suitable, the price of which is low, and it is better not to consider above-average sizes. After all, specialists have gained strength and speed with powerful units. A beginner-lover with a bulky machine will not be easy to handle. There is no doubt about the overheating of a small tool. High-quality devices from well-known manufacturers practically do not fail, as they are equipped with special cooling fans that protect against overheating.

Today the market is literally crowdedhundreds and even thousands of assorted models of very cheap Chinese polishing machines. The price here is the determining factor for successful sales. However, such an auto polishing machine is a kind of lottery. Goods from Chinese manufacturers do not differ in reliability, durability (they serve no more than 2 years), or performance. Polishing machines of world-famous brands operate smoothly for up to 10 years, and after repair, they will polish your car for the same number of years. Unfortunately, Chinese manufacturers still prefer to focus on external similarity rather than focus on internal mechanisms.
