Does anyone here own the Shurhold Dual Action Polisher?

I saw this advertised in Trailer Life and looks like it would be a great labor saver when it comes to waxing these giant fiberglass boxes. It applies the wax and then has a micro fiber bonnet that fits over the wax pad for buffing. It does not spin like one of those power buffers that the pros use and looks pretty good. I would be grateful for any experience you have had with yours. Thanks, David

    I wax everything, no ill effects in the 8 years I've been doing it. Don't have a lot of graphics.

    No sir.
    I stay away from the decals.

  • I've had the Porter Cable for a long time.
    The Porter Cable is well worth the money.
  • Go to Autogeek.com and get yourself a Porter Cable. Much better quality, better price, comes with an assortment of different pads. Have had one for the last 7 years, with lots of use on my Mustang and two Subaru's. Still works like new. Everyone will recomend what they are fimilar with, and this one's mine.

  • I have the one Griot's garage sells, likely the same mfg, slightly different with a different lable on it. Had it for many years. In combination with the correct pads and correct polishing compound it does an outstanding job of polishing car paint and applying wax. you can end up with a black paint job with no swirl marks even under indirect light. Also use it to apply paste wax to my trailer, does a very good job of that also.

    My experience and opinion is that it is great for applying compound or wax. IMHO and my experience, it is much faster and easier to remove compound or wax with a good set of towels. Use the appropriate wax or compound and it doesn't take any elbow grease to remove it. And think, how big is the pad?? How big is a bathtowel??? Which one will hold more powdered residue!!
