BLACK+DECKER 6" Buffer Polisher, Orbital Car Polisher with Wool and Foam Bonnets (WP900)

I run a detailing company on the side and I've been doing it about 12 years and used over 20 different types of polishes and waxes. Most of the reviews that are bad are people who have no idea what they are doing. I keep reading easily correctable problems. Here's the low down. I remember I paid like $26 the first time for this buffer. It lasted heavy use for 3 years 2 months. On small aircraft, cars, trucks, etc. But I definitely got my money's worth. The good: -The orbital buffing takes a beating and keeps on going. -You can press hard enough to get a good buffing and it's motor is strong enough to keep going. -The ergonomics are great. Holding at different angles etc moving around hard to get places and around bottom of airplanes and corners of body panels. -The 6in is great because it can get a lot more that you don't have to redo by hand later. (Tight spaces etc) -The on/off button is easy to use and press quickly and is in a good spot on it for that. -The cord is connected to it in a good spot. I jut skin it over my shoulder and it stays out of my way most of the time. -The handles allow a firm press with two hands and much greater control over it. -It's less than $30. Way better than any of its competitors for what you get. The Bad: -I have Black and Decker products that have lasted way longer than 3 years. So I was disappointed when I heard a pop and lost it. I still have a cheap nicad battery operated craftsmen bottom of the line drill that is 9 years old and works great. -After just under 3 years the glue started to lose its effectiveness and the pad was starting to separate. But it was an easy fix with some gorilla glue. -As soon as you try to one hand it in the middle, you accidentally turn it off and it gets annoying sometimes from a palm press. Minor issue. -6in pads are hard to find when not looking on Amazon. 2/6 auto places near me had what I was looking for. Tips: -Don't use any of the pads that come in the box. They are crap. But that's not what you're buying it for. Buy aftermarket ones on here. -There's a foam pad on Amazon that works great. Quick search will find it at reasonable prices. -Watch basic tutorials on waxing if you're new to buffers on YouTube. They will solve 95% of the issues I read about on here. -Give the buffer a chance to work. Don't have just one issue and decide it's crap. It's not crap. You're just getting frustrated too quickly. Try changing polishes or waxes. That might be the issue or your paint might be too far gone to get the result you want etc. It's a buffer. Not a magic machine. -If you use it correctly with good polishes and waxes you will still get a great result 90% of the time. -Any general car, NuFinish works wonders. I suggest Meguiars, Turtle Wax, Adams polishes, or Chemical guys and their top of the line products on special cars. I use Turtle Wax Black on my black truck. Overall: Definitely worth the money and buying again. It's competitors just aren't that great in comparison. There could be improvements that I would pay another ten bucks for. But it's inexpensive, does the job well for a few years of heavy abuse, and you have great results for an inexpensive investment.

The BLACK+DECKER Buffer Polisher WP900 is a great entry-level orbital buffer that offers excellent value for the money. Its 6-inch random orbit action ensures a high-quality finish, making it suitable for both waxing and polishing tasks. The dual-handle design provides comfortable and easy handling, allowing for extended use without causing hand fatigue. The polisher comes with two wool bonnets and two foam applicator bonnets, giving you the flexibility to tackle different detailing tasks. The foam applicators are durable, even if they get a small tear when removing them. Additionally, the separately sold bag of applicators fits right over the original ones, allowing for faster use and extended convenience. The motor spins at around 4,400 orbits per minute, providing sufficient power for light to medium detailing work. The 10-foot cord offers ample reach, making it convenient to use without constantly switching outlets. The buffer is also quiet, powerful, and vibration-free, making it a joy to use. It's light yet feels professional, enhancing the overall experience. I feel lucky to have found this product on Amazon, as the entire purchasing and delivery process was seamless, making it one of the best experiences I've had. Overall, the BLACK+DECKER WP900 is a reliable and budget-friendly option for anyone looking to maintain their car's finish without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!

I purchased this, my first buffer, because I simply can't do it by hand any longer. This was the least expensive option among units that go WELL into hundreds of dollars...and I get it. This can be a very important tool for various users. I have never used one, didn't really know what I wanted and the pitfalls of the various type. Reading suggested starting with something orbital, so I did. This thing is a whole lot like the little DA sanders in the same price category. It's got a nice design that makes it easy to use with one or both hands. The pads that come with this are a joke. The applicator pad tore apart before it would allow me to grab the edge and remove from the foam backing plate. The polishing bonnets worked fairly well but I pulled a bit at the foam on the backing trying to get those off. Thinking about running a small ribbon underneath in order to have something to grab. I also like the suggestion of one of the users about making it "velcro" with slight modification. Seems like a smart plan for not tearing up that backing plate. I would highly suggest going ahead and purchasing the bag of micro fiber bonnets available all over Amazon to go along with this. All in all I am happy enough with the results and particularly to the price. It doesn't look like a professional waxed it, because I am not a professional...but I sure didn't feel nearly as tired for near as good a job as I have ever done. Worthwhile purchase.

After reading about how athletes are using this car buffer for muscle massage, I got one. Not only is it many times cheaper than the voguish $600 massager, it actually works: much less to no pain after running, no more leg cramps after running when sleeping. The incredible thing is that this goofy idea works. Oh, you can also use it on a car.

Me gusto mucho, tiene una sola velocidad para un solo sentido. Buena potencia, me ayudó mucho a sacar unos rayones de pintura que tenia tiempo de no poder quitarlos. COMPREN UNA BOLRA APLICADORA EXTRA. La aplicadora es muy frágil, yo la rompí al intentar quitarla :S. Las borlas pulidoras están bien, sin problema. VALE LA PENA INVERTIR UN POCO MÁS EN UNA MARCA RECONOCIDA QUE LAS PULIDORAS ESAS AZULES MÁS BARATAS PERO CHAFAS.

Non UK plug, needed an adapter. Plugged in, turned on and it started vibrating very badly and then the disc snapped off. Sending back.

Es una excelente compra que te ahorrará mucho tiempo. Me ha servido perfecto para encerar y pulir 2 autos que quedan muy bien sin invertir tanto esfuerzo. Hay que tener paciencia y ser consistente al cubrir las superficies para lograr un buen resultado, veo comentarios mencionando que no sirve el producto pero es que tampoco hace magia si quieres terminar la tarea en 5 minutos. Obviamente también cuenta la calidad de cera que ocupes. El único pero que le pondría es que los bonetes si son de muy baja calidad, la esponja se rompió al primer uso y los peluches servirán un par de veces más quizá, aún así es muy buena compra si aprovechas alguna oferta de Amazon. Lo recomiendo.

Pour mon comptoir de roulotte. Bon service reçu comme promis
