Today we're unboxing the brand new TORQX Dual Action Polisher.
This machine is the perfect entry-level machine for any enthusiast detailer,
or a great addition to any professional detailer's professional-level arsenal.
As you see, this machine comes in a very attractive, very beautiful box.
It comes with a lot of beautiful graphics, so you know exactly what you're getting,
and you can see even the box has very good construction.
Not a lot going on outside, no heavy rattling or any other gross noises from the box.
It bodes well for what's going on inside.
I know you're all watching this video wondering "what's in the box?"
WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!
Just peel open the tabs...
and open this up and see right away we have some literature that comes with the machine
so you know what the machine is capable of and the technical specs.
It comes with some extra parts: the brushes in the motor may wear out
so the machine comes with some extra ones to help improve the longevity over its service life.
You also get a special wrench.
You'll use this to change out the backing plate of the machine.
If you want to learn more about how to change out a backing plate, or why you might need to do that
for any other extended detailing job around the vehicle,
you can check out annotation on your screen, or the link below in the description.
We'll show you how to change out any backing plate to get the best combination of machine, pad,
and backing plate size to get the job done on your vehicle.
Moving along we see further down we have the TORQX itself!
I'll go ahead and remove the machine from the box.
And the graphics in the box extend all the way down inside.
There's a lot of attention to detail in how this machine is packaged,
and you see these tabs inside help to hold the machine secure so even during transport,
it's not going to get damaged, rattle around, or break before it gets to your door.
Here is the TORQX!
Take off this protective wrapping...
And you see we have this machine!
It's very compact, very lightweight, and very comfortable to hold in the hand.
Everything about this machine is designed for the user, and it comes across once you hold it in your hands.
It's very balanced: it's not awkward to hold, the shape of the handle, the balance in the back, the size of the grip.
It's all very intuitive and easy to grip, so when you're working on a vehicle,
you can tell that this is going to be a very pleasant experience.
A lot of other machines are very clunky and clumsy, they're not balanced, they feel awkward and heavy,
and the way they operate puts a lot of vibration up in your body, they're not comfortable to use.
This machine is very balanced and ergonomic, so it's a comfortable experience for anyone using it.
Moving along, I can see you can use these machines any way: it's good for right or left handed detailers.
All the controls are right within thumb's reach.
Here at the back of the machine, I have the speed control dial, and it goes from 1 to 6.
These are true distinct speed controls.
Speed 1 is very different from 2, 3, and so on.
Some other machines don't have much difference between 1 and 4,
and then 5 and 6 would be one speed as well.
So even though those machines said "1 - 6," they were really only two settings.
The TORQX actually gives different levels of power whenever you need it most.
You can do things like polishing paint, or spreading wax without removing any paint at all.
The other control within thumb's reach is the power switch.
It's very easy to control the machine, turn it on or off, and adjust the power and speed on the fly.
Even as I'm working with the machine, I can keep my eyes on the task at hand,
and I don't have to take them off to change the speed setting or shut it off.
Even up to the very last second, my focus is on the work and the task at hand for safe and professional detailing.
The machine comes equipped with a 5'' durable backing plate.
This backing plate is hook and loop so you can attach any sort of buffing, polishing, or finishing pad.
They snap on, and snap off.
It's very easy to do quick changes on the fly.
If you need to switch to a more aggressive or less aggressive pad, or to a carpet brush,
it's very easy to switch without taking the whole machine apart.
The dual action polishing mechanism of the TORQX is a very safe and easy to use system.
There are some other types of polishing machines called rotary machines,
those are renowned for being very powerful, but they need to be used by a professional
because if you don't know what you're doing, you can damage the paint.
The TORQX is a very safe and easy to use machine.
This machine uses a dual action system.
That means this polishing pad rotates on one axis, and that whole head swivels around as well.
This system replicates the motion of the human hand when working over paintwork.
That spreads the heat out and generates less heat in one spot.
It makes it easier and safer to use the machine: it's harder to burn the paint or damage the paint at all.
It's a safe machine to use for any beginner or professional detailer.
You can use this machine for any detailing task around the vehicle.
Whether you need to decontaminate the paint with a clay bar,
polish the car to remove swirls, scratches, or oxidation,
spread a coat of glaze, sealant, or wax
or even restore headlights to get rid of that yellow look,
if you want to scrub carpets, scrub seats, upholstery to clean them up,
you can use the TORQX!
It's a very versatile machine that enhances the detailing power for any beginner or professional.
During long polishing and detailing jobs when you need to set the machine down,
some other machines didn't have any options.
You could lay them down on the top, but they'd fall over and you'd get your pads dirty,
you would waste time cleaning or changing out pads.
The TORQ engineers designed a simple ridge on top of the machine.
So when you need to lay it down on a table or even the ground,
the machine is balanced and will not fall over.
This will keep your pads clean, your machine organized,
and you'll spend less time doing basic tasks and more time getting the job done.
