Protmex 21V Cordless Car Buffer Quick Review: The Best Budget Buffer?

Quick ReviewBy SuperZydan1 min read

Bought it myselfI bought this myself. Nobody paid me or sent me anything for this review.

My take

This is my first time owning a buffer or polishing tool like this, and man, this is nice. I've waxed cars by hand many, many times, and this is way better.

I put Meguiar's synthetic sealant on the car. Dab a little on the pad, spread it around, then turn it on and go. When I was done I wiped it all off with a microfiber cloth, and it came off really smooth and shiny.

I only used one battery for the whole car, and I don't think it was even low. I'll definitely be using it regularly on my cars. Definitely a good buy, and I'd suggest getting it.

Heads up: to turn it off, you hold the button down. It took me a second to figure that out.

Key specs

From what I show in the video:

  • Cordless, with two batteries in the box
  • Eight speeds
  • Pads that attach with Velcro
  • A carry bag and a bunch of extra pads

Who it's for

Anyone who waxes or seals their own car by hand and wants to save their arms, without paying for a pro polisher.
