EVO 12 12mm Long Throw Orbital Polisher was designed, tested and proven at our corporate detail studio in Las Vegas over the last 4 years and thousands of paint correcting and polishing hours. The EVO12 is ideal for spot-correction and a must-have tool in your paint correction tool arsenal. This will be a go to tool from cars, boats and motorcycles. Whether you need to paint correct those small areas on your vehicle such as A, B, and C pillars on your doors, complex curves around fog lights, rear spoilers, headlights, taillights, rocker panels, the EVO12 polisher 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.

EVO12 is intended to be used for spot correction of specific areas on a vehicle where our EVO21 and EVO15 machines cannot fit. We do not recommend correcting an entire vehicle with this small polisher. 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.

A long throw polisher like the EVO12 is 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. On a much smaller casing size like the EVO12, a 12mm orbit pattern provides better correction capabilities than some of other random orbital machines with an 8mm throw, while still providing great balance and ease of use with smaller 4” pads.

EVO12 polisher allows you to quickly and effectively correct a paint surface imperfection free, to as near flawless as possible with minimal effort. In some applications, this can be accomplished in one polishing step, unlike rotary buffers. Rotary buffers can leave holograms or buffer trails from improper technique, pad selection, or incorrect polish and pad choice, which then require additional polishing steps to make the surface imperfection free. The longer throw of the EVO 12 when compared to other traditional random orbital polishers allows for stronger and faster correction, while still being safe on the surface with not potential issue of burning or damaging the finish. For these reasons, Long Throw Polishers are closing the gap in end user DIY polishing and in regards to time savings compared to Rotary Buffers.

EVO12 polisher 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 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 12ft for easier maneuverability around the vehicle. The EVO 12 is a welcome addition to the Gloss it EVO Dual Action Polishing Family and trusted by professional detailers and loved by detailing enthusiast. We look forward to your online review!
