Cheapest Long Throw Polisher - Mind Blowing!! 

Am I the only one to think he was going to say 950 dollars in the beginning instead of 950 Watts......lol

I'll save you 12 minutes, - it's $74.99

Months ago I commented on this video. At the time I havent tried mine yet and I havent taken any of my 2 detailing courses. I already used mine on 2 cars and it is a very good machine. I bought mine in the UK and in the UK it is the Autojack DAP 150. Im happy with it so far. Mine keeps its speed memory. When I stop and start.again, it always starts on the speed I had just used. I now need a smaller polisher. I recommend this polisher

dont ever leave youtube your my favorite detailing channel

I know it's been a few years but I decided to purchase this polisher because of this video. It's no longer $79. I paid $109. Still way cheaper than many others. I did order the 5" backing plate at the same time. I'm not a professional. I only detail my own vehicles so I really can't see paying hundreds of dollars for something I am only going to use a few times a year. So far I have used it on my truck and on my Wife's Audi and it worked great. The trigger and speed control seems a little funky but once you get used to it it's workable. I don't have much to compare it to but it seems to have tremendous power. Maybe too much power for a beginner. Thankfully I got to watch many of your videos and some others before I even attempted to put this on my paint. Thanks for putting all your videos on RU-vid. They let guys like me attempt things safely that we otherwise wouldn't even try. Yeah I write like you talk. Sorry. Keep talking though.

Scott. You’ve taught me a lot. Please make more videos on RU-vid, you’re a true pro and prob the most helpful on RU-vid.

Scott, I’ve used my Hyett 21 mm polisher for a couple of months and it’s performed very well in doing paint correction on about 7 cars. I pulled it apart to check on the grease quality in the gears and found that white Vaseline looking stuff packed in there and decided to replace it with some Mobil 1 synthetic heavy duty red grease to hopefully extend the life of the tool. Unlike you, I don’t have a sweet camera and video editing setup so I didn’t do a quality DIY movie but I can say that the tear down was straight forward and only took 15 minutes to accomplish including reassembly. There were no metal shavings or other visible issues present and with the small volume of sessions this thing will get due to my driveway warrior status, I expect that it will last a long, long time. $75 plus .50 worth of grease well spent! Thought I’d provide a subscriber update...

I got one of these as my first DA and i really like it, its a great inexpensive way for people like me who will only use it every 6 months

Another great review Scott! Got the $40 non-digital harbor freight model after watching your other video as it's the first time I've really cut and polished my truck. It had horrible water spots/scratches/etc from being outside the last 5 years. Made the paint look better than new! I was astounded. Going to practice a few more times on the truck and wife's car before moving on to the new vette. Had a few 'noob' questions for a detailing pro: 1) I was confused as to what the 'hook and loop' attachment system was referring to? Obviously the harbor freight model has a velcro method for attaching the pads. Not sure if that's the same thing? 2) How do you maintain your pads after you're done using them? Since a lot of them deal with hydrophobic liquids, wasn't sure how to keep the pads in their best condition since you probably can't just use water? Maybe compressed air? 3) After trying the 7" backing plate w/ the 8" pads, I have to agree w/ you the 5" is the way to go. The 7" seems just a 'bit' too big. Looking for recommendations on 5" pads & backing plate. What's your go to for bad scratches, for polishing away water spots, and for apply wax/glaze? Thanks and keep up the good videos! Subscribed! :)

So Scott, after watching pretty much all of your videos I went ahead and picked one of these HYET units up for around $60. With zero prior experience I said "to hell with it" and dove right in, learning nervous as all hell on my Black Caddy SRX (Just like the white one you did). Purple Power V&B wash, 5" backing plate, Hexlogic Quantum (OR WT BK) pads, Meguairs Ultimate Compound, MU Polish, Mother's Clay, and MU Liquid wax. I'm speechless with the results. This car hasn't looked this good since the day it left the assembly line. Thank you for all of your highly detailed and informative videos. Now to tackle the interior!

Don’t ever apologize for being on youtube, your opinions are valuable and appreciate. All the best for 2018

Never heard of it, but I have a Hi-Buff HB21MMT and have zero complaints. Use it several times daily and never any problems.

Thanks Scott! This is definitely helpful to all of us DIY guys who wanna get into detailing but not ready to drop $400

Man, cannot WAIT for the teardown/scope video, been waiting for a good teardown video from somebody that knows small motors ever since you threatened to do a mod video for the HF :) makes me wish I needed some paint correction and had an excuse to swing by, I'm in town but my clear coat is so bad it probably needs to be redone entirely. Thanks for doing what you do, I learn something new all the time on this channel!

Thanks Scott! I was going to skip over to where you mention the price, but not a single second of this video is a waste of time. You just saved me $300+ dollars.

The Maxshine 5" backing plate will fit this polisher, as well as the Harbor Freight Bauer 20mm polishers. Around $11 on Amazon.

Watch all your videos I'm not a professional never polished anything but watching videos i feel confident I could polish my car from washing it clay bar and cut and polish I'm from UK so hyet not available but there is one on eBay a katsu 600 watt Not wanting to spend much just to clean car a few times a year will change to a 5" backing plate and some decent pads and compounds keep up the excellent work thanks kev

Hi Scott. Here in the UK the same polisher but the brand is Auto Jack. I just got mine today. £79,95. Its black where yours is red and white where yours is black. I will only be trying it out in October though when I return home. The feedback of it was good. Many times big brands just have the name and thats it.

Hey Scott watching your channel on the regular... just wondering when you plan on doing the video of the hyet polisher break down... looking forward to seeing you take it apart. Keep up the videos...

Scott, You sound a little like the Everybody Loves Raymond guy... I like it !!! Love your vids... Thanks !!!

Scott, You said you would do a tear down and review. I been looking forward to that video review. Its been about a year and a half, maybe you could also do a follow up review on durability + experience.

Bought the Harbor Freight item# 69924 8mm d/a polisher after watching your recommend polishers video and I love it!!! The Harbor Freight 69924 polisher appears to be of a slightly higher quality than the Harbor Freight polisher you recommend (apparently there's two models) however the body is a little thicker. After watching this video I used your link and bought this long throw polisher. I was going to buy the shurhold but the cheapest I could find it for was $207. Less than $80 bucks for this thing is a steel!!! Your channel is awesome, I've learned a lot of great tips and no BS truths from your vids and my two cars thank you for it!!! I have a black 2008 ZO6 Corvette with paint hard as glass and a silver 2011 Audi S6 with very hard paint as well. I tried auto part store level polishers and compounds and the paint on the vett just laughed at me :( I think I have enough knowledge from watching your vids and "AMMO" after I receive the long throw to get better results this time. Thanks for your contributions to the community and keep up the good work!!!

Dang Scott !, I swear brutha everything that you've recommended has worked phenomenal..from your tips , reviews on compounds and polishes and your tips and tricks on how to use them I can go on forever ..your awesome man !!..love all your videos ..got to snag me one of these 21mm puppies!! Ps . Ended up buying that Adams 3inch mini I gotta tell ya Scott that little sucker is a power house I absolutely love it!!..so glad you recommended that!!..now this 21mm is next !! Thanks again bud

pretty darn cool Scott! Can't wait to test one myself. I'm going to need a bigger tool box for all the buffers that are quickly accumulating in my toy chest!

Your the man Scott! Keep the videos coming you've done nothing but help me and for that I thank you!

Looks like they heard about this video. It's now $50 more.

That looks exactly like the Mechpro Blue Power Buffer Polisher I brought here in NZ for $100nzd, except mines blue. Obviously made by the same company. I haven't used it yet and was a bit concerned about buying a cheap polisher, but not anymore after watching your review. Many thanks. I will be using it to apply some jetseal next week on my new Mazda 3. Thanks again. :)

They must have seen your review, current price 129. Your subscribers are going to need an advanced heads up prior to your review an then the sellers price jump,😉. Thanks, love your review's and expert knowledge.

Thanks Scott! Im tryin to learn more car detailing and i was lookin at this polisher honestly will buy thanks to you!

Just bought the green version on eBay if anyone is looking, about 85$. Same thing but rebranded. Thanks for the video

every postive review from a popular you tuber. raises prices of every thing. think retailers have people watching these guys, ready to Gouge.

Thanks again Scott for the info! This polisher should be great for those of us, myself included, who need to learn the intricacies of the long throw polisher without breaking the bank. Now I have to buy this one as well as the Harbor Freight DA! You da man Scott, cheers!

Scott, my local Walmart has this exact same machine for just $59 bucks, now that's Mind blowing. LOL, YUP Good luck with your new toys.

Please stay on RU-vid the people that don't like you're talking can just not watch and I will enjoy

$109 now, Scott you have single handedly made the price of this thing increase over 50%! I should’ve took your advice when I first saw this video!

I had mine already for like 2 weeks did 1 ceramic job it's a hell of a machine I paid $87

scott you're the man love the vids

Love this video Scott you are the man I have learned so much from you all I can say is thank you hope that is enough for you

Scott... Need a link for the 5 inch backing plate and some pads you would use... Beginner here taking advice!

Scott just bought one at $99.00. I see some people had trouble with overheating. Could you show us how to replace the grease with a better grade .

Item Under Review ( This item is currently unavailable because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!) We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible.) What does that mean? What happened?

I heard from numerous people that it jumped from the $74.99 to $99-105 plus shipping throughout the comments. Well it's back down to $74.99 with free shipping now, so I'd suggest you gets yours, I know I am. This comment is from 05/16/2019, for those wondering. Thanks for the great video Scott, definitely convinced me go get one. I was actually waiting for the Chicago Electric one from Harbor Freight, but it's been months at the locals store and they still don't have any, so I guess I'll go through with this one.

Yuup now it’s 104 I knew I should’ve jumped on this back then Scott once again you’re the man ...

Hey Scott, just wondering if you have any additional thoughts or feedback on this machine after a few years? I'm looking at one of these or the Torq22D. For an experienced detailer that used to be a perfectionist with detailing all of my personal vehicles, and in recent years I haven't had the time or energy to dedicate to the craft. I'm looking to get back into it this summer and put a fresh shine on my own vehicles. I've never used anything other than a Porter Cable 7336, and a rotary before that.. Shows how long it's been 😁 Things have truly evolved!

But wait..there’s more! Great pitch man. Love your buffing tips and simple instructions. Subbed

Harbor freight use to make one like that 10 years ago. I have one and still works strong! Left it outside and in rain for over a year and it still works! I should send it to you son you can gut it out and compare to that one. Let me know.

My goodness its so loud, I probly couldn't hear my headphones running that thing. Rupes tools are very quiet balanced tools.That fancy speed control is neat until it stops working. Just wondering who do you send the tool to when it stops working?? Do you just by another? Rupes had my polisher repaired and returned in the same week. Rupes are expensive but the customer service and training they offer is second to none.

Hi Scott, I did purchased this in Jan when it was $75 but just used it an it's everything you said and more! I also got the Adams mini swirl and this is so much smoother and I like that I can lock the start lever and then when ready press the speed button. I am very happy so far for a newbie! THANK YOU AGAIN! P.S Still waiting for the teardown.. Christopher

Mine came in the mail today..mine came with two handles and a cheap foam pad...i haven't used it yet but geez for 75 bucks i sure am happy..im glad you made this video thanks

Cant wait for the update! 😁 i just ordered mine. Thanks for the info Scott!

How the machine is in terms of noise? Please let me know. Thank you for all your help and efforts.

Brilliant video thank you ❤️👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Just ordered one. (Not 2, lol). Love the videos, all of your advice and opinions. Thank you. I love detailing and you make it even more enjoyable. Love the knowledge. God bless!

As of 5/15/2019, the Goplus 6" Variable Speed Sander All-in-One Polisher Dual-Action Random Orbital Kit, 950W, 2000-4800RPM, Waxer, Grinder, Buffer is now $125 (shipping included) instead of $75 with free shipping on Scott's video dated 1/22/2018. What a difference a year makes.

Thank you for passing on the info on this polisher. Great video. Tremendous info. Can't wait for the video when you tear the polisher down.

Tried this polisher, it does the job but it takes longer than other polishers and also twice as heavy. After some use it starts to vibrate a little too much. For the price it’s ok, it’s Chinese.

Just bought mine from HarborFreight for 109$ and ordered the 5ib backing plate you said that fits. Will be using angel wax enigma aio with lake county orange pads. On my ride this weekend

Obviously I'm coming to this conversation way late. I own a 2015 Lexus RX 350. The clear coat is showing some spots that at first glance, look like water stains; however, they don't "wipe" off. Not sure what it is, but thought about trying to polish to see if they will be removed. That being said, I'm in the marker for a reasonably priced DA sander. I believe the one you mention hers is now called a GoPlus 6" sander on Amazon. The site also lists the torq 5" backing plate as a buying option. I've seen you talk about this sander and the harbor freight sander. I've also seen your videos concerning the vibration concerning harbor freight and the lithium grease modification. In your opinion, which of this two sanders would be your recommendation? Also forgot to mention, the GoPlus is now $99. Thanks!

Why does this sounds like an informaccial cosco selling demonstration? 😳 😳

im confused its not advertised on amazon as a long throw has it changed since this video?

Another GREAT product review... Thank you Scott, you ROCK!

Love this Scott...its like an As Seen on TV... booth at the county fairgrounds. Love your stuff and honest advise.

3 years later and I just looked it up, Only $89 Canadian! Think I'll order one.

How do you like this now? Still holding up?

You lost me after the 200th “wait until you hear what this thing costs”

This looks similar but not exact to an evo 21 I just bought 5 months ago.its my first dual action polisher.absolute game changer for using dual action instead of rotary

Wanted to get one of these polishers and not available any other suggestions.

Link is dead, Amazon still has the 6" 21mm throw machine at $79. with free shipping, not to be mixed up with the 5" machine which has an 8mm throw and analog speed control at $69. Reviews are mostly good with the exception of the switch placement, machine will shut off when the switch gets in the way of handling it. One reviewer advised cleaning the grease out of the mechanism and replacing it with a better quality grease saying it ran quieter. The Harbor Freight Bauer 6" 20mm Orbital Polisher is current $79 in stores, no coupon available, does not include Taxes it is also getting good reviews as a budget machine.

Thanks Scott for the information. I can always use another polisher. Sounds pretty quiet as well.

Hey, the machine still working?

Just received it today. Can't wait to see how it goes. Can anyone help me with getting the backing plate off what's the trick ? Thanks .Scott keep up the great work you always seem to raise the bar for others to follow

Ordered one. Can't wait to see your video of the teardown and internals review. Keep up the great work Scott!

Keep talking Scott. Your info is always valuable. I Love your videos brother.

Hi Scott i just got this machine and I put on the torq 5 inch backing plate and it's vibrating like crazy

Did you ever do a video on the internals? I can't find it....if not, have you put this one to the test and how do you like it long-term?

Hi Scott I know it’s not related to this video but the flex 3401 can be used as a free spinning da remove the gear and felt ring

You are the man! Scott for President!

I bought one, worked great! Loved it! But it only lasted about five hours. I did two cars when I got it. A few months later, on the third car it spun for a few minutes and then quit. Bummer!

The thing is not alot of autoparts stores sell 5" pads. Its mostly 7" and 6".

In the last couple days I've watched dozens of your videos and I've got some beginner questions. What's the best way to ask? From my Sears buffer/polisher to Purple Power and waxing a new and old car. Your knowledge has just got me excited to clean my cars.

Would you recommend this machine as a primary polisher for a diy hobbyist who might use it a few times a year?

it’s $105 + $5 shipping now at the provided amazon link

Had mine for a month! Havnt used yet due to the severe winter that hit me big time! Thanks for the info! $$$$

it costs 120$ as of may 28th 2019... with extra shipping costs. This became popular and you don't blame them for jacking the price up

I just bought the 7" at H. Fr. For $25! It was on sale plus I used a 25% off coupon. It's beautiful.

Nice to know you've gotten your hands on that one. I have it myself but have yet to use it. Bought that machine for 80 bucks.

Love the videos man. Thanks for all the info. Have you tried the new Bauer from harbor freight?

Scott I trust you so much I purchased this 2 mins into the video lol love ya man god bless you!

Thanks Scott. Just found your channel and I’m enjoying the content. What is the reason that you prefer 5” versus 6” pads?

damn... subscribed!!! was wanting to get the torq 22 but ill probably grab this. im new to detailing for personal use only.

Amazon is 115 and eBay 145 Damn the price go up quick the have another one for 80 but is not the same style same company

Scott, Love your vlogs. This polisher is unavailable from amazon. Can’t find it on the web. Can you review the Presa Turbine All-in-One Dual Action DA Random Orbital Polisher Kit with Polishing Pads. This would be for a diy. Sold on amazon. Thanks for all the videos!

I’m still waiting to hear what you think of the Meguiars MT300 DA Polisher?

I ordered mine and I think they rebranded it to Ironman

Scott awesome however waiting to hear your version of how to utilize a rotary. That is all I've ever used from compounding to final polishing. If you could discuss / demonstrate various techniques between using wools for the whole job versus microfiber vs foam or a combo that would be incredibly helpful. Perhaps throw some AIO usage in there too. I started learning about 20 years ago with excellent results but I am hoping to tweak and tune here and there. I do understand you are a busy business owner and that is my end goal as well therefore I knowing your time is quite valuable do not ask this lightly nor on a whim. Thanks for your consideration.

Ordered one because if this video. I’ll be using it as a learning tool. Thanks

It's $99.99 now, for me just starting out I think I will just go with Harbor Freight one. I would've bought it for $74!!

Scott, this machine is at the level of the rest when it comes to price, so what do you recommend for $100.00, and those people from Goplus should give you a courtesy because I’m sure that you helped them in their business so much that the fast increase in the price shows.

Thanks, Scott!! I ordered this yesterday and I am looking forward to your teardown soon! Just a point, this is selling for$75-$80 so the seller gets it for about $45-$55 so in China this cost to make no more than $20-$25 and curious how you find the quality inside?

how does the backing plate attach to this machine?? I see the torq 22d backing plate does not have a stud in the back-(5/16x24}- like the harbor freight machine does??? thanks Scott for ALL your fantastic video's I am buying a many products you have recommended, basically so I can do my own car. I am kind of a fanatic like you-lol.
