ZOTA Orbital Polisher - 3" Dual Action Mini Polisher Kit with 13.1 ft Cord for Car Detailing

Precision polishing at a great price. Had some scuffs and paint marks on the car. This polisher squared that away in no time. Excellent precision control and good selection of heads to be very useful in polishing small areas. Good size, cord length and speed control made it easy to use. Recommended highly.

I got the bigger 6" version of this same brand and was loving it. I got this smaller one to do more detail stuff with and honestly I prefer to use this one most of the time now. It works great for maintenance polishes and smaller corrections. I only have one dislike as I hate to call it a complaint as it is more of a user preference I would say but the power switch is a little clunky and about requires a second hand for me anyway. The speed dial is close to the thumb and easy to control and maybe a little to easy to rev up but still readily accessible. All in all I would recommend this to anyone doing personal detailing at home as it is affordable and seems to be really good quality.

This polisher does everything it needs to for great results at a fraction of the price of name brands. The heads size choices go down to 1”. Recommend 2 polishers for serious detailers, even hobbyists like me. A 5”-8” Dual Action for large flat areas and this one. It can do big areas, just takes more passes so if you only but one, this should be it. Perfectly balanced and solid, easy to control speed, no hopping with centered prep’d pad using 4” down to 1”. Easy logical controls, long cord, it’s ideal in every way and inexpensive. No need to spend over $100 for name brand or hundreds more unless you must go cordless (pricey, get spare battery). This is suitable for pro or amateur, educate yourself on buffing and determine you cars clear coat and shine on.

I've put about 35 hours on this buffer in the last few weeks and it's working well so far. It's noisy though so take note of that. I've used wool,microfiber,and foam pads,and I'm happy with the results. Now one complaint I have is that the numbers on the dial have already worn off. And the power switch is soft which makes me wonder if it's going to hold up over time. But I'm getting good results so far. There's plenty of power and the head rotates pretty good.As far as performance goes,it's on par with my Griot's G9 and Maxshine M8s. I needed a small da polisher because of all the curved panels on my wifes new car and the Griots' G9 I have with a 5" backing plate was stalling too much. This Zota mini polisher is getting the job done for me. I just hope I don't have a problem with the switch breaking like other's have experienced. And one small bonus is the pads that came with it are made well. The mini wool pad has held up well and seems as good as the more expensive Lake Country purple wool pads I've been using. If I knew what brand these were I'd probably buy more of them.

This is a great tool, comes with extra brushes , plenty of power , great speed control, the speed selector is something I always move on accident but thays on me , so I put a small peice of tap over it and rock on with no problems at all .I will definitely purchase this again if I need to. I have one at work too.price was great as well . The cord is like 13 feet , It is a great addition too my tool arsenal

I've been using a HF (Central Electric) Dual Action 6" for 4 years now. I've been happy with that but I had been reading about how 24mm long throw DA polishers save time and effort. Who wouldn't want to save time and effort. That 6" is a beast and works great, but is suitable large on flat surfaces (hood, trunk, doors, etc). The HF 6" was already a bit clumsy on small concaved areas but the Zota 6" is even harder and near impossible to use on tight areas. It's heavier and it has a longer throw meaning even less control. I added this 3" and now I'm ecstatic about the time savings over my older DA 6", plus my results are way better. The 6" does things way faster with less effort and the 3" leaves no spot untouched. At the end of it all I'm also less tired because though I'm lugging the heavy now even heavier new Zota 6" for the large flat areas, I'm not trying to control the old 6" in tight spaces. I wouldn't want to only use the 3" on the entire car. It'd be far too much work. Having the additional 6" is worth the money. By the way I'm using the Lake Country 3.5" pads which fits perfectly and lasts.

This product works great. I've used it for car polishing as well as sanding. It has a speed control which allows you to adjust how fast the head spins to more closely match up with the job you're working on. It comes with some 3" sanding disks and a 3" backing plate for polishing and other tasks. The first unit I received lasted just 11 months. I contacted the manufacturer, and they asked me to install new brushes for the electric motor (the brushes were supplied with the unit). I installed the new brushes, but the unit only lasted for another 30 minutes. I contacted Amazon Customer Service and the person I spoke with told me I didn't need to send the unit back to the manufacturer, and allowed me to return directly to Amazon. You just can't beat Amazon's customer service.

nice use all the time

Excelente herramienta

J’ai récemment acheté la ZOTA Polisseuse Orbitale Double Action pour mes travaux de detailing automobile et honnêtement, je suis très satisfait de la qualité et des performances de cette machine. La prise en main est excellente grâce à un design ergonomique et un poids bien équilibré, ce qui permet de travailler plusieurs heures sans se fatiguer. Le moteur est puissant et la machine reste stable, même à haute vitesse. Les vitesses réglables offrent une grande précision, que ce soit pour du polissage intensif ou des finitions plus délicates. Le mouvement orbital double action est idéal pour corriger les micro-rayures, l’oxydation et les défauts de peinture sans risquer de brûler la surface, ce qui la rend parfaite aussi bien pour les débutants que pour les passionnés exigeants. Je l’ai testée sur mon Audi SQ5 avec différents pads et polish, et le résultat est bluffant : la peinture retrouve sa brillance, les défauts disparaissent, et surtout sans laisser d’hologrammes. Franchement, pour le prix, c’est un excellent choix avec un rapport qualité-prix imbattable. Elle rivalise largement avec des machines plus chères.

excelente

Great polisher. Very compact and easy to use. Works as advertised.

La máquina me ha gustado, es práctica y muy eficiente , la utilizo para pulir faros, el único pero es que se calienta, logra calentarme las manos en un solo faro, es algo que no me agrada, voy a cambiarle la grasa con la esperanza que el calentamiento disminuya, aún con este inconveniente la considero buena, si necesitara otra creo que probaría otra marca como Spta o alguna otra
