  • This description contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated* As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase* Harbor Freight is a popular retailer of tools and equipment, known for its low prices and wide selection of products. One of the items they offer is a polisher, which can be useful for a variety of tasks, including car detailing. In this post, we'll take a look at the Harbor Freight polisher and see how it compares to other options on the market.
    First, let's talk about the basics of the Harbor Freight polisher. This is a dual-action polisher, which means that it oscillates as it spins, reducing the chances of creating swirl marks on your vehicle's paint. It's powered by a 6.5-amp motor and comes with a 5/16 inch orbit diameter, which is suitable for most detailing tasks.
    One of the standout features of the Harbor Freight polisher is its price. At just $50, it's significantly cheaper than many other polishers on the market. This makes it an attractive option for those on a budget or those who are new to detailing and aren't sure if they want to invest in a more expensive tool.
    So, how does the Harbor Freight polisher perform? Overall, it seems to be a decent tool for the price. Many users have reported that it's easy to use and gets the job done, although some have noted that it can be a bit finicky and may require some adjustments to get it running smoothly. Some users have also reported that it can be a bit loud, so you may want to wear ear protection if you plan on using it for extended periods of time.
    In conclusion, the Harbor Freight polisher is a budget-friendly option that can get the job done for basic detailing tasks. While it may not be as powerful or refined as some of the more expensive options on the market, it's a good choice for those on a budget or for those who are new to detailing and want to try out a polisher before committing to a more expensive tool.

    I've never polished a car before but this is how i thought it would be done and probably how i would cluelessly do it, I'm glad to see it worked out well! I'll try it on my car this method too!!

    Used it for the first time last weekend definitely worth buying if you're a person who likes detailing your own car recommend first time to use on lowest setting 800 so you don't burn paint don't leave in one spot keep moving it over paint easy to use czcams.com/users/postUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 truck looks like new again used maguires black light battery life like all milwaukee products seem to hold up well 😀

    IMO you cannot beat the Bauer long throw polisher from HF. The Rupes 5" backing plate bolts on with no mods and it vibrates less. Also change the grease in the HF to lithium or Lucas Red and Tacky to make it quieter - $80 without any discounts.

      If you join the member ship it’ll turn out to be $39 but it’s a $30 membership fee. Even then it’ll still be $69 but you’ll have that membership basically free. Still end up paying $68 total but you have that 1 year membership

    Chicago Electric, not Bauer.
    As far as harbor freight goes Chicago electric are the crappiest cheapest line, Bauer the middle ground, & Hercules a better grade. Harbor freight no longer only has cheap stuff and there is a definite difference between the different brands. That's not to say that some Chicago electric aren't worth while but if you want to title it Bauer then get a Bauer and do side by side testing and tear them apart or something and let's see if it's really the same. Never seen a Chicago electric anything as good as the other two yet myself so it would be interesting if it really is "pretty much a Bauer".
