New Hercules forced dual action polisher - review and first thoughts

[@chinowong69]

I've used the same DA Hercules polisher from Harbor F. and meguiar M105 on a black truck the only problem is the dust that it creates while polishing and then it sticks to the paint. So white dusy on a black paint is a headache.

The cord is 25 feet long. Awesome.

If you can get it local or don't mind ordering online get you some wizards turbo cut and try it out I think you will like it better than meguiars

[@rongamble9884]

I just came across some compound I'm using that is good for fiberglass and gelcoat called wizards turbo cut it sells for $30 I had some clearcoat on a vette that dried harder than crap

[@ryanazevedo2237]

Meguiars makes an updated version of the compound its M110 and the polish is M210

Thanks. Would u say the forced rotation here is a happy medium between rual action and rotary? I am just a hobbyist!

[@CoyotefiftyF100]

@@HAJ-o9n it’s good if you’ve got really tuff work to do. If I was just doing a light polish, I’d go with the random. The big difference is this thing will wear you out, it’s got a lot of torque!!!

@@CoyotefiftyF100 i appreciate the advice.

Why would you use a wool pad on a forced rotation polisher? I haven't seen anyone using it with anything but a foam pad

[@CoyotefiftyF100]

@@Steve0885 wool makes more heat. And it’s hard to get heat into fiberglass. I typically do heavy work with wool and then swap to foam pads when doing finer polishing.

Looks like it came out ok but all those scratches disappear with a rotary. Cut with rotary polish with forced or long throw DA wax with RO

Definitely not as refined as the flex 3401, but I guess it serves a cheaper alternative

[@CoyotefiftyF100]

@@404notfound..... for someone that’s serious about it or starting out, it’d be a good way to start out and then when replaced use as a backup

[@intrinsicfineautofinishing4660]

Wow I'm shocked that is gelcoat. I would have thought that it was painted clear coat.

[@CoyotefiftyF100]

Bullet Boats are high quality builds. And new gelcoat is unlike most of the older stuff out there.
