There is lots of different polishing machines to choose from. To find the right polishing machine, you should consider these factors:

  There are essentially two different types of polishing machines: orbital and rotary. An orbital model is preferred if you want to polish safely, quietly and with less vibration. They are also beneficial if you want to reduce the risk of holograms or accidentally burn the car paint.
  
  A rotary model is better if you want to quickly polish away coarser scratches. Keep in mind that a rotary polishing machines is more likely to create friction heat, which can damage the Paint if you are not used to handling one.

Some people find this variant slightly easier to handle. Other models instead require you to grip the polishing machines with one hand over the other. This variant can make it easier to apply a little more pressure.
  
  
• Do you need a polishing machine with one or more heads?
  Many polishing machines have a single head. A single-head machine is a little easier to handle. A multi-head model will help you quickly and efficiently polish larger surfaces, but it can be slightly more difficult to handle.

  You should choose a polishing machine with a polishing pad of the right size for your purpose. For example, 125 mm is a very good all-round size. A larger polishing pad makes it easier to cover larger surfaces but a smaller one is better for detailed work.
  
  
• What rpm should the polishing machines have?
  The speed of a machine is often specified in revolutions per minute (rpm). The higher the speed of a polishing machines, the finer it can polish a surface.
  
  
• Do you need a multi-speed polishing machines?
