Long Throw DA
Rotary-level cut, dual-action safety
The EX605's 12mm long throw generates the kind of cutting power normally reserved for rotary polishers, but the dual-action platform keeps heat and friction in check so you can work confidently on any paint type without risking burn-through or holograms.
Why the EX605
Correction without compromise
A compact machine that delivers where it counts.
-
12mm Long Throw
Generates cutting aggression comparable to a rotary, in a compact dual-action body.
-
CNC Counterweight
Machined counterweight eliminates vibration at the grip, so you can work longer without fatigue.
-
Speed Stabiliser
Automatically compensates for pad slowdown so rotation stays constant through heavy correction.
-
Pad & Paint Protection
Dust-Devil multi-hole backing plate and soft-start keep temperatures low and pads in good shape.
How It Stacks Up
EX605 vs a standard compact DA
Most compact dual-action polishers sacrifice throw to keep the body small. The EX605 is built to avoid that trade-off, but here is how it compares to a typical entry-level compact DA on the features that matter during real correction work.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Long throw (12mm+) | Yes | No |
| CNC machined counterweight | Yes | No |
| Speed stabiliser system | Yes | No |
| Soft-start for reduced splash | Yes | Yes |
| Multi-hole ventilated backing plate | Yes | Yes |
| Compact body size | Yes | Yes |
Built for Professionals
Smooth enough for all-day correction
The CNC machined counterweight system and ample body ventilation mean the EX605 runs cool and vibration-free through full correction sessions, keeping operator fatigue low and pad condition consistent from the first panel to the last.

Questions
Frequently asked
What is the throw (orbit diameter) on the EX605?
The EX605 has a 12mm throw. That is considered a long throw for a compact DA polisher, placing it in the same aggressive correction territory as larger machines, while keeping the body size manageable for tighter panels like bumpers and doors.
What size backing plate and pads does the EX605 use?
The EX605 ships with a 5 inch Dust-Devil multi-hole backing plate. It is compatible with 5 inch (125mm) foam and microfibre polishing pads. The multi-hole design promotes airflow to keep pad and paint surface temperature down during extended correction work.
Is the EX605 safe to use on soft or delicate paint?
Yes. Despite its 12mm throw, the EX605 is a dual-action polisher, so the pad movement is random-orbital rather than continuous rotation. This means heat and friction are distributed safely across the surface. Adjust your compound aggressiveness and pad combination rather than the machine itself for softer paints.
What compound and pad combination should I start with for heavy correction?
For heavy swirl and scratch removal, pair the EX605 with a microfibre or firm foam cutting pad and a medium-to-heavy cutting compound. The 12mm throw will maximise the compound's cutting ability. Follow up with a softer finishing pad and a fine polish to refine the finish before applying your protection layer.
Can professionals use the EX605 for full-day correction work?
The EX605 is designed with professional use in mind. The CNC machined counterweight system significantly reduces vibration at the handle, which reduces operator fatigue over long sessions. The ventilated body and Dust-Devil backing plate also help manage heat during repeated passes, protecting both the pads and the machine.
Does the EX605 have a soft-start feature?
Yes. The soft-start system ramps up pad speed gradually when you pull the trigger, which prevents compound and polish from flicking off the pad at start-up. This keeps your work area cleaner and wastes less product.
How does the speed stabiliser work?
The speed stabiliser monitors pad rotation and automatically compensates when it senses a slowdown caused by increased pressure or pad loading. This means the machine delivers consistent output without you having to adjust technique or dial up the speed control mid-panel, which is particularly useful during heavier correction stages.
Is the EX605 suitable for applying ceramic coatings, sealants or waxes?
While the EX605's 12mm throw is optimised for correction work, you can use it with a soft foam finishing or applicator pad to spread sealants and waxes quickly and evenly across larger surfaces. For ceramic coating application, most detailers prefer hand application for precise levelling control. Use the machine for the correction stages before coating, then apply your ceramic by hand.
