How To Use
- Plate & pad: Install a 5" DA plate; center a clean pad.
- Prime: Add 3–4 pea-sized drops of compound; spread on speed 1–2.
- Correct: Work a ~40 × 40 cm section with slow, overlapping passes. Keep the pad flat with light, even pressure.
- Inspect: Wipe residue; adjust pad/product as needed and continue.
- Finish: Step down to a finishing pad and fine polish for maximum gloss.
Notes: Clean or swap pads frequently to manage heat and maintain cut/finish. Avoid heavy edge pressure on body lines. Always use on cool panels, out of direct sun.
| Feature | 21mm Long-Throw DA Polisher | 15mm Long-Throw DA Polisher |
| Orbit Size (Throw) | Larger (21mm) | Standard (15mm) |
| Correction Speed | Fastest. Moves abrasives over a larger area per rotation, leading to quicker defect removal. | Fast/Balanced. Highly effective, but covers less area per pass than the 21mm. |
| Ideal Panels | Large, flat surfaces (Hoods, Roofs, Doors, large SUVs, Trucks, Boats). | Versatile for all panels, especially small to medium-sized ones. |
| Maneuverability | Lower. The larger orbit can cause the pad to stall easily on heavily curved or concave panels and is harder to control near edges. | High. Excellent for navigating complex curves, body lines, pillars, and bumpers without stalling. |
| Standard Pad Size | Usually pairs with a 6-inch pad. | Usually pairs with a 5-inch pad. |
| User Fatigue | Can generate slightly more vibration due to the larger, more aggressive motion. | Generally smoother operation, leading to less fatigue over long periods. |
