A rotary polisher always turns on the same part of the pad: one moment of inattention on the same spot, and the clear coat heats up and then burns. This one is orbitale<\/strong> \u2014 the plate traces small 5 mm circles on top of its rotation, which spreads the heat. It is slower, and that is precisely what makes it usable by a beginner.<\/p>\n From 2,500 to 7,000 rpm: low speeds to spread a polish or a wax, medium speeds to make the abrasive work, high speeds for the finish. A three-colour indicator shows the battery state \u2014 green, amber, red.<\/p>\n The tool takes batteries BL1830, BL1840, BL1850, BL1820B, BL1430B<\/strong> and their B variants, from 2.0 to 5.0 Ah. It does not take not<\/strong> the G series (BL1813G, BL1413G, BL1415G, BL1430G, BL1815G) nor the old Ni-Cd batteries. If you already have compatible Makita batteries, the ones supplied become spares.<\/p>\n A polisher removes only what is in the clear coat, and only on clean bodywork: a grain of sand left on the paint becomes a scratch under the pad. Wash, dry, and work in the shade on cold bodywork, in sections of about 40 \u00d7 40 cm. On an old or resprayed car, start somewhere inconspicuous.<\/p>\n A hand polisher that turns from 2,500 to 7,000 rpm and runs on an 18 V battery. Its 5 mm orbital movement polishes without biting into the clear coat: it is the sort of machine you can pick up having never polished a car before. Supplied with its pads, its bonnets and its apron.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1993,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[100,152],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-452","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-nettoyage-et-entretien","product_cat-polissage-renovation","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"yoast_head":"\nEight speeds for four stages<\/h3>\n
