I own this machine for over two years and I love it. I use it with 3M Trizact sanding disks and soft pad for removing the deep scratches then I use it for polishing. It works like a charm every time.

This polisher just saved me a trip to the body shop for a repaint. Easily used with automotive polish to correct a bad paint job. Well built, easy to handle and variable speeds for a professional finish. Money well spent.

I work as an automotive paint technician. I bought this for work to use to de-nib paint jobs. I use it both for polishing and wet sanding. It works great. Feels like a decent product and so far is holding up well. I think you can't go wrong for the price. Best little polisher I've used.

Absolutely a great tool. Good quality and works well. Polished my whole truck without any issues and it turned out great. No need for a brand name equivalent when this does just as well at a cheaper price. No regrets here.

This thing is very good and specially considering the price. No need to spend tons of $$ on big name brands. It is quieter and smoother than some name brands and I have used it on a Black Honda HRV which had swirl marks and water spots on about half the car where 3 inch pad was advantageous (like doors), back panel and front bumper with lines along with TorqX DA from Chemical guys with Chemical Guys C4 and P4 cut and polish 2 stage correction. Honestly, I am liking it better (smoother and quieter) than the TorqX. Of course, TorqX uses a 5.5 inch pad also so for flatter larger panels it does it much quicker. If you are doing your own car or maybe your family members and not a pro than this will be perfect for your use. It only has a 90 day warranty but I took a 4 year protection plan from Amazon for an extra $10. I used the yellow pad for cutting with C4 and the dark pad for polishing with P4. Trick is to spread the product at 1 and for cutting use 3 and for polishing use 2 or 3 or in between with very light touch. Do not use 6. It will haze too much. Cutting always leaves a haze but with polishing it goes away. Awesome product for a great price. Fits the bill for the 3 inch pad which you really do need in addition to a 5 or 6 inch DA to properly paint correct to get a car ready for something like a ceramic coating etc.

My recently acquired four year old Lexus has more peaks and valleys than a Swiss Alps ski resort during a swimsuit competition, and, although my H.F. 6" DA polisher (Topvork) has been a trooper, how I've survived without a 3" unit is beyond me. With all the concave areas/tight spots on today's cars, a 3" is a must. This Zota-albeit just a coupla hours into working it-is quiet, and features a lengthy cord, a speed adjustment my Topvork doesn't have, and is studly, yet not overbearing, weight-wise. The on/off is virtually identical to my Topvork, i.e., slide forward, then press down to lock on the power. Takes getting used to, is a two-handed op, and why a rocker-type switch isn't used is beyond me. I don't get complaints from others about noise, personally. Not remotely, in point of fact. The box was factory sealed, with the spare brushes and misc. goodies intact. Removing the backing plate with the supplied "wrench" is simply done. I supplemented this item with a 31 piece pad set, and kudos to the guy who mentioned the Casoman 3" hook & loop backing plates (5/16"-24) @ $9.97 for four pieces. At about $106 total, I'm all set. I'm prepping various areas for PPF film, and before I lay that down on the paint, my new little buddy will pay for itself, especially on the front bumper cover, where I intend on using the Zota exclusively to buff out scratches and then do touchup, because of the Zota's maneuverability vs. an unwieldy 6" DA, given the objective of pad on surface 1oo percent. I shudder to think how much more sense a 3" DA makes vs. a 6", unless you are doing large panels. Warning: there is a button on the side of the machine, and out of curiosity, I depressed it while running, which elicited a sound reminiscent of ball cards on bicycle wheel spokes, if the cards were made of metal. Don't push this button. I am giving this unit four stars, because it ain't much of a fiscal gamble, and so far so very good re: ops. The booklet accompanying this Zota 3" DA is deplorable, as there is ZERO info re: the company, and ANY way to contact them if an issue occurs. That smells fishy, to me, and cost a star. Because of the price, and saving $500-900 doing a clear bra myself, if this Zota lasts for just this one job, it will have paid for itself. That said, a cheap price and crummy manual do not a deal breaker make, AS LONG as one USES/TESTS it within Amazon's return window. I anticipate many years of usage, honestly, based on my initial experience with this Zota, and at a sub $70 price point, I would buy it again.

I got the bigger 6" version of this same brand and was loving it. I got this smaller one to do more detail stuff with and honestly I prefer to use this one most of the time now. It works great for maintenance polishes and smaller corrections. I only have one dislike as I hate to call it a complaint as it is more of a user preference I would say but the power switch is a little clunky and about requires a second hand for me anyway. The speed dial is close to the thumb and easy to control and maybe a little to easy to rev up but still readily accessible. All in all I would recommend this to anyone doing personal detailing at home as it is affordable and seems to be really good quality.

La máquina me ha gustado, es práctica y muy eficiente , la utilizo para pulir faros, el único pero es que se calienta, logra calentarme las manos en un solo faro, es algo que no me agrada, voy a cambiarle la grasa con la esperanza que el calentamiento disminuya, aún con este inconveniente la considero buena, si necesitara otra creo que probaría otra marca como Spta o alguna otra

La idea era tener una máquina pequeña para detallar motos dado los espacios pequeños que se requiere y con una máquina normal es casi imposible hacerlo, hice una corrección de pintura de una moto con daño leve, cómo preparación para un cerámico y aunque el daño era leve, funcionó a la perfección, es muy manejable, ligera, me gustó mucho el desempeño por lo qué de inicio si la recomiendo ampliamente, habrá que ver la duración a mediano/largo plazo.

This polisher does everything it needs to for great results at a fraction of the price of name brands. The heads size choices go down to 1”.Recommend 2 polishers for serious detailers, even hobbyists like me. A 5”-8” Dual Action for large flat areas and this one. It can do big areas, just takes more passes so if you only but one, this should be it. Perfectly balanced and solid, easy to control speed, no hopping with centered prep’d pad using 4” down to 1”. Easy logical controls, long cord, it’s ideal in every way and inexpensive. No need to spend over $100 for name brand or hundreds more unless you must go cordless (pricey, get spare battery). This is suitable for pro or amateur, educate yourself on buffing and determine you cars clear coat and shine on.
