Is it good for beginners?

Yes. The dual-action eccentric motion reduces the risk of burning paint that a rotary polisher carries. Start on the lower speed settings and keep the pad moving.

How long does the battery last?

Runtime depends on speed and pressure. Expect short sessions at high speed and plan to recharge between panels; a spare battery helps on bigger jobs.

Can it remove deep scratches?

It handles light swirls, oxidation and wax application. Deep scratches and heavy correction need a corded machine with more torque and a larger pad.

What pads does it use?

It takes small backing pads suited to its compact head. Check the backing plate size before buying pads, since larger pads will not fit.

Does it come with pads and polish?

The polisher ships as the tool with its battery setup. Pads, backing plates and compounds are usually bought separately, so budget for those.

How does it compare with a corded DA polisher?

It wins on portability and loses on power and runtime. For occasional waxing and spot work it is convenient; for full-vehicle correction a corded DA is faster.
