The Swirl Killer 15MM Long Throw and Swirl Killer MINI 12MM Long Throw Polishers are the perfect combination to create a swirl-free finish on the entire car! Use the Swirl Killer for polishing of large areas like body panels, then follow up with the Swirl Killer MINI to give those hard-to-reach areas the same level of detail!

A long throw polisheris a dual-action machine polisher that oscillates and shakes the backing plate and polishing pad in many directions in quick motions, several thousand times per minute. The movement mimics how our hand moves in an irregular circular pattern when polishing or waxing a surface by hand. Dual action polishers differ from rotary buffers in that rotary buffers have fixed rotation and spin only in a circular motion without oscillating the pad. Rotary buffers are rated in Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) as opposed to the Oscillations Per Minute (OPM) of a Long Throw Dual Action Polisher.

Long Throw Polishers typically have a 15mm or 21mm orbit pattern. While a 21mm throw can correct imperfections a little more quickly than a 15mm throw, the larger orbit and larger pad size for these machines can make them a little more difficult to use on some vehicles with very complex curves. Therefore, we chose a 15mm throw with smaller 5.5” and 6” pads for the Adam’s Swirl Killer for it to be more versatile for most of our customers. With the much smaller casing size of the Swirl Killer MINI, a 12mm orbit pattern provides better correction capabilities than other random orbital machines with an 8mm throw, while still providing great balance and ease of use with the small 4” pads.

Both polishers allow you to finish down a surface amazingly, to as near flawless as possible with minimal effort. In some instances, this can be accomplished in as little as one polishing step, unlike rotary buffers. Rotary buffers can leave holograms or buffer trails from improper technique, pad type, or compound, which then require additional polishing steps to make the surface hologram free. The longer throw of these two polishers, when compared to other traditional random orbital polishers, allows for stronger and faster correction, while still being safe on the surface. For these reasons, Long Throw Polishers are bridging the gap in regards to time savings compared to Rotary Buffers.


Adam's Swirl Killer 15mm:

This long throw machine polisher is designed to remove swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation from the exterior body panels on your vehicle. This machine has less vibration, reduced long term fatigue, and has been tested in the market on hundreds of cars for over a year. It is an excellent choice for both beginners to paint correction as well as experienced detailers. Most swirl mark removal can be achieved at speed setting 4 on the adjustable speed dial, with the higher speed 5 and 6 left for heavier scratches. The lower speed settings (1-3) are great for spreading a polish evenly before paint correction, or to apply a sealant or wax.

The Swirl Killer polisher has several design features that make it more enjoyable and comfortable to use. The trigger is large, easy to engage, and has a lock mechanism to reduce strain and fatigue on your fingers when polishing for an extended period. The trigger also features a soft start for a smooth and safe start when you pull the trigger. The hand grip above the polishing head is rubber for reduced vibration through your hand and arm. The backing plate has a strong Velcro® hook and loop system to keep polishing pads secure during use, but still easy enough to remove the pad without too much effort. The power cord is a soft rubber design so that it can comfortably drape over your shoulder while polishing and not twist or tangle as easily. The cord is a longer 25-foot length for easier maneuverability around the vehicle.


Adam's Swirl Killer 12mm:

This spot-correction machine polisher will be a must-have tool in your paint correction process once you try it out. You will find a use for it on nearly any vehicle you paint correct, where a larger pad and our Swirl Killer Polisher may not fit. Whether you need to polish those swirled up A, B, and C pillars on your doors, complex curves around fog lights, rear spoilers, headlights, taillights, rocker panels, the Swirl Killer MINI with its smaller machine housing and smaller pads has more than enough power to do the job and achieve perfection. The short overhang around the backing plate also allows for access into more difficult areas like on and around mirrors, clear coated wheels, door handles, and around tight emblems.

The Swirl Killer MINI is intended to be used for spot correction of specific areas on a vehicle where a fullsize machine polisher cannot fit. It is not designed or intended to be used to paint correct an entire vehicle. Most swirl mark removal can be achieved at speed setting 3 or 4 on the adjustable speed dial, with the higher speed 5 and 6 left for heavier scratches.

The Swirl Killer MINIpolisher has several design features that make it more enjoyable and comfortable to use. The ON/OFF rocker switch is large, easy to engage, and reduces strain and fatigue on your fingers when polishing by not having to hold in a trigger. The ON/OFF switch also features a soft start for a smooth and safe start. The hand grip above the polishing head is rubber for reduced vibration through your hand and arm. The backing plate has a strong Velcro® hook and loop system to keep polishing pads secure during use, but still easy enough to remove the pad without too much effort. The power cord is a soft rubber design so that it can comfortably drape over your shoulder while polishing and not twist or tangle as easily. The cord is a longer 25-foot length for easier maneuverability around the vehicle.

    Summary

    I'm 71 years old, and couldn't use a P. C. because the vibrations hurt my back and shoulders too much. I tried the Swirl Killers and they're so easy to use. Nearly zero vibrations in my arms and shoulders and fantastic results. My white cars sparkle. If you've been on the fence about ordering one or both of these polishers, stop thinking about it and do it. You won't regret it. I'm glad I made the switch from hand polish to machine. Taught this old dog some new tricks.
