Rank #5 in Best Car Polisher 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Watts That Do Not Add Up
RAYBAO 5/6-Inch Dual Action Polisher, 9mm Orbit
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The RAYBAO Dual Action Car Polisher finished fifth in our car polisher ranking. It is a corded machine rather than a battery one: 900 watts maximum power on 220 volts, six speeds with a no-load range of 2,000-6,400 rpm, a 9mm eccentric orbit, and two backing plates of 5 and 6 inches. It is listed at £58.97 with 4.7 out of 5 from 62 ratings.
On this one the headline number holds up better than our thesis predicts. 900 watts on a 220 volt mains supply works out at roughly four amps, which is ordinary for a corded tool, and the 6,400 RPM in the spec table matches the top of the 2,000-6,400 rpm range quoted in the features. What does not match is the ratings block: the breakdown lists 4 three-star, 19 four-star and 77 five-star, which adds to 100, while the same page states 62 ratings. The model is also given as 08-502 in one field and the part number as 008-502 in another. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing and not from testing by us.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Used this with Meguiars options - Compound and Polish. Easy to use, a great finish and no signs of damage/swirls/anything else to complain about. Recommended for the price. The option of two sizes of pad is a great addition, plus the multiple pads that come with it are decent enough. I used it to finish the front of the car before ceramic coating (see photo) - I'll definitely do the rest of the car at a later date now!”
Verified purchase“Excellent kit not only for polishing but also sanding. It has a long cable which is unheard of nowadays which is a useful feature. Recommended”
