WildFun 23PCS Cordless Car Buffer Polisher, 8 Variable Speed

The cordless car buffer polisher features an 8-speed variable speed control, ranging from 2500 to 5000 RPM, allowing for precise polishing and waxing at different stages. It is incredibly lightweight and portable, making it easy to manoeuvre around the car and reach hard-to-reach areas. The ergonomic grip and handle minimise hand fatigue and discomfort, ensuring a pleasant detailing experience. The kit includes 23 attachments for a wide range of detailing tasks, including polishing, waxing, sanding, and buffing.

This product from WildFun arrives in a plain cardboard box that is taped shut, inside that you get a fairly generic and unbranded semi-rigid EVA shell case with a zip that contains all the advertised contents.

The case is an excellent inclusion but it isn’t perfect as everything is sort of just thrown into it without any real organisation or specific spots to put everything. It does have one big mesh pocket but you can only really fit a couple of things into it before it gets too bulky to close the case properly. Once you’ve got a couple of used pieces covered in polishing compound or sanding dust stored inside, I could see it getting messy fairly quickly. With that said, even this basic case with no organisation is miles better than a plain cardboard box for storage.

It really is a neat handheld unit that feels robust in the hand; it has more than enough power for not only polishing and waxing jobs, but also for stripping old paint and varnish or doing surface prep for a variety of materials. The only slight negative is that the tool obviously doesn’t have any dust extraction like a dedicated orbital, but as long as you’re sanding with proper ventilation and PPE it’s a non-issue. Most cheap orbital sanders have horrible dust extraction anyway, so it’s not a dealbreaker for me at all. With the correct pads, even applying wood stains and other finishes is an option, so it really is a very versatile tool that is worth using for more than just automotive applications.

It has a stiff & removable 5 inch Velcro backed pad that can accept practically anything you want as long as it’s roughly the right size. The big benefit of this unit using the 12cm/5 inch pads is that replacements are super affordable and easy to find once the included set wears out. Likewise, if you want to lean more heavily into surface preparation, finding the various grits of sandpaper is easy, as they’re very typical sizes used for purpose made handheld sanders.

The batteries are very commonly used for a wide range of budget battery power tools, I actually have several from a 12V drill driver that slot right into this tool and work just fine. Even just the provided two batteries is plenty for practically every job, as you can cycle through them and charge one while using the other if you have a particularly large job.

Realistically, the only complaint I have is that this is significantly more expensive than the same thing from other vendors, even with the current discount bringing it down from 68.99 to 62.99 or 59.84 after the 5% voucher. Otherwise, I’m happy to recommend it if you’re after a small battery powered polisher that does the job well.
