Expert Notes

The Vertool 12e Mini Dual Action Polisher is made for correcting tight and awkward areas. Polish tight areas on a clean, dry panel: spread the polish at low speed, then work in short, slow passes, checking the heat as you go. Disconnect the power before changing pads and keep it out of reach of children. The Drivers HQ stocks a wider range of Vertool car care products. Clean the small pads often, since they clog faster than large ones.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Bumpers
  • Door pillars
  • Mirror housings
  • Spoilers
  • Around badges
  • Headlights

Caution: Small pads build heat quickly, so keep them flat and moving, check the panel temperature often, and switch it off and disconnect the power before changing pads. Keep it out of reach of children.

How To Use

Polishing

  1. Wash, decontaminate and dry the car first.
  2. Fit a clean small pad centred on the backing plate.
  3. Prime the pad with a little polish and spread it at low speed.
  4. Work the tight area with slow, short passes, then wipe off and check.

Afterwards

  1. Switch it off and disconnect the power.
  2. Remove and clean the pad.
  3. Blow dust from the vents.
  4. Store it dry, in its case if it has one.

Top Tip: Checking the panel with the back of your hand between passes stops a small pad overheating an edge.

DAS-21E. The DAS-21E is a long-throw dual action polisher for paint defects and larger panels: 900W, a 21mm orbit, 2.4kg and a 5m cable, supplied with both 125mm and 150mm backing plates. The plates have ventilated cooling channels, which Vertool says reduce heat and make for quieter, smoother working.

The Nano Pro kit goes smaller still, with 1in and 2in backing plates and pads, rotary, 3mm and 12mm orbital actions, two 2,500mAh batteries and a corded power supply, for bumpers, grilles, badges and door shuts.

Force Drive. The Force Drive drives both rotation and oscillation mechanically: 1,200W, an 8mm orbit and 125mm and 150mm plates, with a locking trigger so you do not have to hold it in.

AirDry 180. The AirDry 180 blows the car dry and clears water trapped around grilles, vents and light surrounds: 2,800W input, variable air speed, a 5m hose, a 5m cable and a soft rubber nozzle tip. Vertool gives a one-year warranty on its DAS-21E, 12e Mini, Force Drive and AirDry.

Hydro 360 snow foam lance. The Hydro 360 has a fully adjustable spray pattern, vertical or horizontal, a knob to make the foam thinner or thicker, and a 1 litre bottle. It comes with a red, grey or yellow nozzle, or red on a clear bottle so you can see the level.

Shop by type: dual action polishers, mini polishers, car dryers and snow foam lances.
