A New Polisher Outshines the Competition

Posted by Dave

New Product Alert!

Always known for finding a great solution at a better price, Harbor Freight Tools recently introduced  its new Chicago Electric Platinum 6" Variable Speed Polisher #69924. This dual-action, random-orbit dynamo delivers the same professional mirror finish as the machines used by car dealerships and detailers-- but at a fraction of what the competitors are asking for while on sale at $59.99!

The 6" Chicago Electric Platinum polisher has six variable speed settings, a two-position side handle for optimal control, a hook-and-loop pad attachment, and powers up to 6400 OPM for supreme performance. It includes a 6" backing pad, spindle wrench and carbon brushes.

To fully arm this bad boy for all contingencies, add a Warrior Compound/Cutting Foam Pad #60311 for applying polishing and rubbing compound for deep scratches, a Polishing Foam Pad #60309 for applying polishes and cleaners to remove swirls, marks and water spots, and a Finishing Foam Pad #60310 for the final step, applying waxes and sealants.

Destined to be a Harbor Freight Tools bestseller, the Chicago Electric Platinum 6" dual action polisher is already getting accolades from customers:

"This was nothing short of amazing. I have been buying harbor freight for a year now. I can't believe what I have been missing before! I was shopping for a good DA Polisher for about 3 months online and everywhere else. Out of nowhere I thought of Harbor Freight. I could not believe they had one. Unless you are willing to spend over $300 on a German-made polisher, this is the best money can buy, hands down!" NickyG- Scottsdale, AZ

"This tool is great-- especially for the price! Porter Cable has this same style of tool in their line up, but it's $129+ and the body is really big and not very comfortable to hold. I have pretty big hands and it's still big for me. This one has a much smaller gripping area that makes it easy to hold on to. It doesn't have forced rotation of the disc so it works more like a regular random orbit but it has a much larger orbit diameter so it cuts pretty fast when sanding. When using for polishing, it spins really nice and makes buffing out finishes really easy. I used it to restore the headlights on my car. Got some of that headlight restore compound and it worked great in conjunction with this tool and the buffing pads... Buy this tool!!!"  Ronnie Ron- Seattle, WA

"This thing rocks! Polished my motorcycle and an acrylic aquarium... looks like glass!"  Pleaser- Phoenix, AZ

"This thing took the water spots off of my truck, quick and in a hurry... this works just as good as the expensive ones for the fraction of the price!"  Paul- DeRidder, LA

You don't have to do hard math in your head to realize you'll be saving $100's by staying away from the auto spas and getting professional swirl-free finishes on all your vehicles at home. Add the new heavy-duty Chicago Electric Platinum 6" variable-speed dual-action polisher to your tool arsenal while this low price holds!
