- What's up guys?
Don't know which polishing machine you need,
I'm going to break down everything you need to know
about these polishers and tell you
which one is the perfect one for you.
So stay tuned.
- We want a brand new level of shine on our ride.
So it's time to break free of those old habits.
It's time to get rid of that super scratched up
and swirled ride,
and get yourself a brand new ride by polishing our vehicles.
But how are we going to know which polish should we use?
Which pats use and which compound or polisher to use.
So today I'm going to be breaking down
all of these polishers right here in front of me,
so that you guys better understand them
and can figure out which one's the best one for you.
All right, guys.
So our first polisher is the Torq X.
So that's this little baby over here.
You'll recognize him
because he's a lot smaller than the other ones.
So the Torq X is great for virtually
all professional level detailers and beginners.
It's a small machine, which means
that it's easy to get into all those hard to reach areas.
So if you're working on a vehicle that has a lot
of contours or a lot of hard to reach lower areas,
having a small short kind of polisher definitely works out
in your favor so that you're not holding a longer polisher
and being in a more awkward position when trying to get
into those hard to reach areas.
So the Torq X does come with your speed dials right here
on top.
This one's the only one that has the dial settings on top.
So you can control your RPMs or in this case OPM's
because this one's actually an orbital polisher.
This machine head oscillates and spins into rotations.
So unlike the rotary, which I'll
and get into a little bit more further in the video.
This one right here, oscillates on two axis.
So you have the oscillations where it just kind
of has that DA motion.
And you also have that rotary motion that spins in a cycle.
So this is great because you get that double motion,
which means that you can use this machine
for practically all uses.
You can use it to cut scratches and swirls,
give your car a deep cut, refined, give it a light Polish.
You can even use it to apply waxes, glazes and sealants
to your vehicle because of that dual action motion.
It kind of massages those products
into your paint a lot more smoother than you would by hand
and it does it in the fraction of a time.
This right here does come with a five inch backing plate
which works out great for practically all uses
whether you have a large surfaces or smaller to
reach areas.
Next in the line, we have our Torq 10 FX.
So the first thing that you'll realize as far as differences
between the Torq X and the 10 FX is the size.
The 10 FX is just a little bit longer,
and that all that is it's pretty much more user comfort.
So as you guys can see right here,
the Torq X has more of just kind of like a
area that you can kind of grab onto
whereas the 10 FX has a more ergonomic handle
right here that you can grasp your hand over.
And it also has an ergonomic head
which you can grab with your other hand
for the ultimate precision when polishing your vehicle.
This also utilizes a five inch backing plate.
So this machine is great.
Like I said, just like the Torq X for any kind
of beginner, intermediate or professional level polisher.
So if you find yourself working on a vehicle
maybe for longer periods,
amount of time then having a longer handle machine
and ergonomic handle on the head is definitely
going to benefit you a lot more as far as comfort
whenever you're on those long hours of polishing.
And it also has a nice digital display.
So you can turn that on, turn
that off whenever you'd like, you have your speed settings
you can go lower or higher.
And then whenever you want to switch it off
you just turn it on the off setting and the power's off
as you're polishing, or whenever you want to turn it off.
All right.
So moving forward from the 10 FX we find ourselves going
into a little bit bigger of a machine.
So right here, we have the Torq 15 DA.
Now these right here relatively have the same body size.
However, there's a huge difference
between these two machines.
The biggest difference is the millimeter throw.
Now, whenever you're using these DA polishers
they kind of rotate in an axis where they oscillate
and spin at the same time.
The 15 DA actually spins
in a much larger axis than the 10 FX and the Torq X.
Now these two right here utilize an eight millimeter throw
whereas the Torq 15 DA as you guys can probably guess
has a 15 millimeter throw.
So this right here has almost twice the throw, which means
that you're going to be covering a lot more surface area
per run.
Whenever I refer to run, that means pretty much
when you're going left and right and up and down
this right here is going to go in and reach further
which means that you're going to cover more surface area
with one pass and have to do less passes whenever
you're working on a larger vehicle
or even the same size vehicle it's going to
definitely cut your polishing and time in half.
The 15 DA does come with a five inch backing plate
making it the most versatile to use whenever you're working
on most surfaces on your vehicle,
you know it's great because it's a medium sized coverage
which means that it's great for large areas like hoods.
It also works out great for those intricate areas
such as those B pillars
and those harder to reach areas like your quarter panels
your fenders, those smaller tighter areas
that five inch backing plate definitely does help
out with giving you the ultimate versatility all
around your ride.
Now what happens when we're faced with the larger vehicle?
Now the 15 millimeter is great.
However, if you want the ultimate coverage
then you're looking at this bad boy over here.
So this right here is our Torq 22 D.
So as you guys can see it's definitely a lot bigger
than all these three machines.
And this is because this is a big boy toy.
Now this right here utilizes a six inch backing plate.
That's right.
Not five inch, six inch.
So six inch backing plate accompanied
with a 21 millimeter throw.
So you have your 15 DA, which has a 15 millimeter throw
and your Torq 10 FX and the X that have an
eight millimeter throw.
So as you guys can imagine this is almost
three times the throw than you would compare it with
the other three.
So this has a specific purpose
which is covering larger surfaces.
So if we have a full, you know, a full range truck
with large body panels, a trailer, an RV, a boat
that's when you want to utilize a big boy like this
now that's one, one millimeter throw.
It's definitely going to help you out in that process
because you're going to get a lot more surface coverage
than you would by using a smaller machine.
So that definitely helps out.
And this also utilizes our digital displays.
So you can
and check your RPMs as go when you polish.
And our last tool
on the list is our Torq R, now this one right here
unlike all the other ones that I've talked
to you guys about already, this one is a rotary polisher.
So how is it different?
The rotary polisher spins on one axis,
so all it does is go clockwise.
Whereas these, like I mentioned, they go and two actions
which oscillates and spins at the same time.
Now the biggest thing that I'm kind of like getting
to is that these are two completely different machines.
Now the DA is great because you know
it has the oscillating motion, which means
that if you put down too much pressure on the surface
it'll actually just oscillate.
Which means that it's just going to be like in place.
It's kind of like vibrating, which in other words means
that you're not going to be building
up heat because it's not going to be spinning
and you're not going to burn your paint.
So with the DA polisher, it's very hard
in order to damage your paint just
because of the motion that it has.
And because of those safety features that it incorporates.
So with the rotary, this tool is great for heavy cutting.
So if you have a vehicle that has heavy defects
heavy scratches, heavy swirls, heavy oxidation
or maybe you did any kind of wet sanding
then the torq rotary is what you're going to want
in your arsenal to get rid of those heavy imperfections.
The torq are the rotary,
it spins in one direction and it keeps on spinning.
So with this one right here,
if you put too much pressure down, it'll keep on spinning.
That's why we don't recommend applying pressure on a rotary
because the motion that it has already is
already great enough to give you the cut that you need.
So one of the most popular kind
of sayings that we have here in the detail garage is
that the rotary kind of cut to the scalpel versus a DA
which kind of cuts more as a butter knife.
So as you guys can imagine
it's a very big difference as far
as like how much they cut and the speed that they cut in
but they both have their place
when it comes to the polishing process.
You don't have to choose one of the either, you know
if you ever want to become a super professional detailer
it's always great to have both of these machines
in your arsenal reason for it is because you're
going to be having cars that are extremely neglected
which you're going to want to have a rotary polisher
on hand to be used for,
to remove those heavy and perfections quick and easy.
And then for your newer cars that are more maintained
maybe they're not so bad.
You can use a DA polisher to remove lighter
to moderate imperfections, quickly and easily
and at your own pace.
And you can also use it to apply your favorite
chemical guys glazes, sealants
and waxes with ease.
All right guys speed recap, torq X
you're a brand new level polisher
or maybe you're an intermediate.
You're barely starting off.
You have a small car, you have a medium sized car.
This machine is perfect for you.
Torq 10 FX.
You find yourself polishing more often.
Maybe you're doing it as a business
and you want to have a more comfortable machine.
The torq 10 FX is great because it has the digital display.
You have the ergonomic handle that definitely comes
into play whenever you're on those longer periods
of polishing.
Torq 15 DA, you're intermediate level
or professional level polishers looking to step
up their game.
This has a 15 millimeter throw.
So that definitely covers a lot more surface coverage to get
you the job done in half the time.
Torq 22 D, utilizes a 21 millimeter throw,
which is great for those large areas.
So if you find yourself polishing a boat and RV
or maybe you just have a fricking huge truck,
this is what you want to cover that large surface area.
Heavy imperfections, scratches, swirls, oxidation,
your paint hasn't been polished in years, rotary,
that's where it's at.
You need the heavy duty cutting power, Torq R
is what you want in your arsenal.
All right guys and that pretty much wraps it up
for the machines.
I try to keep it as short and sweet as I can
but I'm a talking machine so I can talk all day about this.
So I'm going to try to just kind of conclude with that.
