Member mbenz has this to say about Makita 9227 Circular Polisher:

The big question lately about rotary polishers is Dewalt or Makita. From a beginners perspective i believe that the makita is the best choice. I have an old dw849 that i have been using to learn how to rotary polish and it broke. (it lived many years in a body shop) I picked up a makita and as a novice i like it more. The machine is very smooth, quiet, and easy to handle. In every way it is an easier tool to use than the dewalt. Finessing curves and edges is much easier and i have noticed a significant decrease in buffer trails after compounding. All that being said about the makita, i still really like the dewalt. Although it is louder and a bit more of a brute, for serious correction it out performs the makita. I find that the dewalt is more of a "industrial" tool and the 9227 is a "new tech cool tool." Either polisher will produce amazing finishes in the right hands, but untill i am doing a ton of rock clear coats, the dewalt will remain broken.

Makita 9227 Circular Polisher Product Description


Here's the polisher the pros use!



This is a serious, high-speed, rotary polisher for the skilled enthusiast or professional detailer.



In the hands of a skilled operator however, high speed polishers can completely remove surface swirls, paint defects and minor scratches. They can create a surface that reflects light like a mirror.



Dual action polishers (like the Porter Cable 7424) visually reduce swirls by rounding over top edge of the swirl robbing sunlight of a sharp edge to cause a reflection. Fillers in the polish then fill in the swirl making it less noticeable. While the vehicle looks swirl-free, the swirls are still there and re-appear over time. A high speed polisher actually removes the swirl by removing the layer of paint down to the lowest point of the swirl. With a little patience, practice and common sense, anyone can master the skill needed to create a swirl-free, mirror bright finish.



In selecting which high speed polisher to carry, we surveyed our detailer and bodyshop customers. One polisher was mentioned time and time again as being the first choice for durability and ease-of-use. This was the Makita 9227 Rotary Polisher.



The Makita 9227 offers an electronic speed control (0-3000 rpm) that maintains a constant speed under varying load conditions. This means you can add a little pressure while working out a paint blemish without having the polisher stall or slow down. The large 10 amp. motor works effortlessly for high speed polishing and slow speed wax/protectant application yet the entire unit weighs only 6.6 lbs. A large wrap around handle provides excellent two-hand control for working over edges or into tight corners.
