"DA" Polishers

[TonyNo]

I got the impression that DA meant something other than orbital, but, I'm finding conflicting info.

I already have an orbital. Would one of these be any different?

???????

DA means "dual action" meaning it spins and shakes. Is that what you are asking?

[TonyNo]

Maybe!

Orbital spins and "shakes", too.

Does this help any? LINK

Dual-Action polishers and Orbital buffers

The motors and drive units on these two types of polisher's oscillate in an eccentric circular motion. This type of motion is much safer to the paint because it's virtually impossible to apply too much concentrated pressure in one place at one time. Chances are good that when too much pressure is applied, the oscillating action will come to a stop thereby protecting the finish.

Because these types of machines oscillate instead of rotate, they will not instill the dreaded buffer swirls or holograms into your finish as long as you use the appropriate chemicals, buffing pads and bonnets. This safety feature makes these machines highly popular with enthusiasts who would like to use a machine but at the same time, are afraid of burning or inflicting swirls into their car's finish.

Both the G-100 and Orbital buffers offer a number of benefits:

Uncomplicated – Remove from box, attach buffing pad or bonnet, plug in, turn on, start buffing
Versatile – Can be used for cleaning, polishing, and applying waxes.
Takes most of the labor out of the process, the machine does the work, all you do is hold it.
Faster, more thorough - you can cover more area and do a better job with a machine.
Creates a more uniform, higher gloss finish than your hands.
Pushes polishing oils and protective waxes into the pores and microscopic surface imperfections far better than your hands can ever accomplish.
In recent years, the Porter Cable Dual-Action polisher (G-100) has become the machine of choice over the older style Orbital buffers for a number of different reasons:


Smaller size and lighter weight makes them easier for anyone to use.
Very easy to control, requires no previous experience or skill to use correctly.
Smaller size enables you to work on small panels and tight areas easier with better control.
More options for buffing pads and bonnets.
Velcro® interface makes changing between pads fast and easy.
