With its 3-inch pad, the Milwaukee M12 Variable Speed Polisher was an absolute delight to use for small spaces, hard-to-reach areas and even headlights. No, this isn't a tool you'll use for the entire car, but it's very handy to have around. You can pick up the on its own for $130, but if you do want a complete kit, there kits ranging from $170 to $222 so you can stock up on product, pads and more to keep your car paint in top condition. You're not stuck with the company's Hex Logic pads if you don't care for them, though we personally do recommend them. Noise volume is completely tolerable and the dual-action orbital polisher works mighty hard with the brand's Hex Logic pads. After using the standard TorqX, we don't see why a beginner would need to make the jump to the 10FX. We wanted Chemical Guys' entry-level unit because I personally use a 10FX at home. That orbital buffer model is also much costlier. In this respect, the Torq 10FX is superior just on this usability factor. It's a little clunky to get to while you're working. We didn't really care for the on/off switch placement, however. It's comfortable to hold, too, and transfers way fewer vibrations than the Porter Cable unit. No, it doesn't get the fancier digital display like the 10FX model, but the dial movement is totally fine to use while working on a vehicle. Chemical Guys sells a line of Torq-branded polishers, but if you're simply looking for an excellent tool to take out swirl marks and light scratches in paint, the TorqX random orbital polisher is an excellent choice. The MT300 typically costs $350, but it's on sale right now for just $208, which makes it a prime time to buy this lovely dual-action polisher. Otherwise, it's hard to find many complaints. We only say that because on a few occasions, it was easy to pinch a finger when squeezing the trigger when starting the buffing machine on a car's paint surface. If there is a con, the power trigger system is a little finicky. These little touches reinforce how premium this car polisher machine feels, while undercutting some of the space's bigger names. Bonus points for the slow and steady startup speed to ensure you don't sling car polish product everywhere. The MT300 is quiet and far smoother than other tools we worked with, and when you're spending this kind of money, it's exactly what you want. Meguiar's credits its digital torque management for smooth operation, and that came through when working with the unit. With a wide range of speeds available, the MT300 was happy applying a bit of car wax, working harder with a polishing compound, remover or anything in between.
The construction is properly premium, the adjustable handle makes for a comfier machine than usual and backing plate installation is a breeze. Yes, there are far more expensive buffing options in the dual-action polisher or random-orbital polisher space, but we enjoyed the Meguiar's MT300 unit a lot.
