Can an Ozito orbital sander be used as a car polisher?

[ameliam]

i recently got the 125mm ozito random orbital sander and want to know if there is a pad i could use to use it as a polisher for my car ?

would it turn out alright ?

Hello @ameliam 

The 125mm Ozito random orbital sander does not have a polishing or buffing pad. Due to the speed that the orbital sander runs at, it is capable of easily burning through the clear coat of the car and damaging the main top coat. Polishers and buffers run at much slower speeds and thereby not damaging the paint on the car. I recommend investing in an Ozito 240V 110W Buffer Polisher has been designed for polishing cars, boats and solid surfaces like granite, marble and stainless steel. 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hi there,

I use the Ozito 240V 110W Buffer Polisher to maintain the family cars including the shared family van which for obvious reasons requires more effort to  prep and polish the roof - works well.
