I bought this polisher to compound and wax a boat and I was extremely pleased with the results. The variable speed dial with a maximum RPM of 3000 was definitely the ticket on the parts of the boat that were suffering from severe oxidation.
I found myself running at about 1800-2000 RPM's over most of the boat but having the extra power when needed was definitely a time saver.
The only drawback I could mention is that this tool is not friendly about accepting generic polishing and cutting pads produced by "other" manufacturers. The Dewalt mounting bolt for the flex backplate leaves few options other than to use DeWalt pads unless you want to use the drawstring type, and I have been unable to find any drawstring pads worth purchasing.

This is the best polisher/buffer i have ever used. I own a detailing company and this is the only high speed buffer we use. Very well built. We have one that is over 4 years old, and still works like it is brand new. The variable speeds make this buffer great for beginning polishers and expert detailers. A must buy.

To the person who has problems with , and refered to tie pads.
Any major paint wholesaler can sell you a kit that will replace
the pad with a velcro based plate to which you can place a foam
or wood pad with a touch and all work great.

Why did I wait so long to buy one?
I purchased this because my beloved '97 Nissan Maxima is closing in on the 1/4 million mile mark and the paint is...commensurate with its age. Read more

The best buffer period.
This thing has been running unstoppably for over 2 years of hard use and abuse. It may be a bit dirtier than when I purchased it but it hasn't lost a single rpm or lb of torque... Read more

Great but heavy
The product worked exactly as expected. No problems. I used it to compound and polish a 31' boat. It did a great job but it'll wear you out. Read more

Dewalt DW849
This polisher is top of the line, well worth the money; if it's like all my other Dewalt tools I will have it for ever.

Extremely Pleased
I read a lot of customer reviews before selecting this polisher. We used it for our boat. It worked very well, especially with the 3M SuperBuff pads. We are extremely pleased.

Excellent quality! I used it for buffing out our yacht. Alot of other DIY-ers at our boatyard have complained about the motors burning out on other models they have used. Read more
