Full Description

The Vertool ® Force drive is a gear-driven dual action polisher that offers the safety of a dual action polisher with the cut of a rotary.

Unlike regular dual action polishers, with the Vertool® Force Drive, the actual random oscillations are driven by the motor which means the polisher never slows or bogs down on curves and under load like traditional dual action polishers. However, at the same time it retains all the safety and usability benefits of a dual action polisher. The lower rotational rate means that heat isn't generated as quick and that there is far less chance of generating holograms as part of the finishing process.

This is probably technically the best polisher on the market at it's price point, with un-rivaled power & fantastic build quality.

Importantly the polisher is supplied with two backing plates, both a 5" (125mm) & 6" (150mm) allowing far greater flexibility and pad choice as well as a high quality canvas carry case.

Expert Notes

The Vertool Force Drive Polisher is made for correcting and finishing paintwork. Hold it firmly on a clean, dry panel, spread the polish at the lowest speed, then correct in small sections with slow overlapping passes. 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 pads during and after use and keep the vents free of dust.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted bodywork
  • Clear coats
  • Bonnets and roofs
  • Doors and wings
  • Bumpers
  • Single-stage paint

Caution: Hold it firmly, since the forced rotation pulls harder than a free-spinning dual action, keep the pad flat and moving, 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 pad centred on the backing plate.
  3. Spread the polish at the lowest speed.
  4. Work small sections with slow overlapping passes and a firm grip, 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: Letting the gear drive do the cutting, rather than pressing down, keeps heat low and the finish even.

Performance Benefits

  • Harder cut than a free-spinning dual action
  • Less heat than a rotary
  • Keeps turning on curves

  • Finishes down with the right pad and polish

Frequently Asked Questions

What is it for?

It is a Vertool forced rotation polisher for correcting and finishing paintwork.

What comes with it?

Which pads fit it?

Pads sized for its backing plate, as the maker lists.

Do I need to wash the car first?

Yes, polish a clean, decontaminated and dry car so grit is never ground into the paint.

How do I look after it?

Clean the pads, blow dust from the vents and store it dry.

How is it different from a dual action polisher?

Gears drive the pad round as well as orbiting it, so it keeps cutting on curves and under pressure while running cooler than a rotary.
