I'd love to do my own paint correction with a polisher but I just don't have the nerve to touch tarmac black with anything more than a cloth. I used a slab of bunnings hardwood bench top on a steel frame, its a lot less noisey and when it gets old it can be replaced easy. A wood vice at one end and a steel vice at the other
Mitsu paint is pretty easy as it doesn't take much to get 90% better so usually the last aggressive option the better. I could have just gone with a timber top but I wanted the stainless. I guess I'll just have to live with putting a few scratches
Thanks for the video. Perhaps you could do another video and talk more about the polisher specifically. How much did it vibrate? Did it get hot when using it? How long did the battery last? That to me is more pertinent than showing something you polished with it.
I'll definitely do an update video when I do the next car and get a few hours use out of it. Wanted to do an unboxing and first thoughts video first though and had that small piece to polish so worked out well for a video
Bob. I can tell you the head/top area on my unit gets hot. That is after dumping 1 entire battery through it, with the small DA head attachment. Vibration is almost nothing. Unit is light and very easy to use. Great little polisher, but the heat buildup near the top/90 degree axis does concern a little. (I wonder if opening the unit up and replacing with decent grease would help?)
@@Ian_P Thank you Ian. I greatly appreciate your info. I have been wanting a mini polisher and believe I will buy this one. The head heating up is a concern, but it must not have been deal breaker lest you would have said so. Thank you again
@@bobwilson2682 👍 All good Bob. I watched a few more TH-cam reviews/usages of the polisher today. One TH-camr used the heck out of it on a boat in searing heat and he never mentioned the heat issue and neither have others on the TH-cams. 👍😁 I'd buy it, great price for a great little unit.
From the looks of how he tighten the backing plate & counter weight . I prayed for the tiny polisher. If the polisher spinning clockwise, for me it's considered shelf tightening.
Last thing I'd want is it flying off and damaging the paint on someone's car I only used the supplied tools to tighten as specified in the instructions
That looks like a beast of a polisher for the price, especially considering what it comes with. Cabinets look awesome too especially the stainless top. You could prep food on that thing 🤣
Yeah I'm very happy with it for the price and will definitely be putting it through it's paces over the next few cars I detail. Thanks I'm so happy with the cabinets now and hope to get the garage completely finished in the next 6 months
Another great video. Those mini-polishers are brilliant. Don't be intimidated by the rotary function either, I was initially but have really come to appreciate that mode. With rotary, the smaller the pad, the less aggressive the action. The opposite for D/A. And the garage cabinets look fantastic. I'm assuming those are MAXIM from Just Pro Tools? I have been adding them slowly to my garage as time and funds allow, they are great value for money.
Thanks mate yeah I'll def try out the rotary function soon as it seems to be a good way to learn to use a rotary. And yes they are the Maxim from just pro tools, I looked at so many and decided on these and definitely glad I did
I've only done small jobs on it so far and seems good. When I do a full car next I'll have a better idea but for small parts and wheels it's done well and haven't 1 battery always on charge is great
Will hopefully have another full detail video to film soon where I can really put this thing to the test

Cool, I’m in the market for one so this is very timely. Thank you so much! 👍🏼👍🏼
Perfect timing then 👌
and yes loving the garage definitely aiming to do something similar one day when I have a double garage
Thanks mate it was my goal for years to get a house and build my dream garage
looks like a great little polisher, can't believe how nice the red is on that car though
Thanks mate, and yeah we get lots of compliments on the paint on her car so I make sure we keep it clean

Good video mate I like that you showed how to use it and the results 👍
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it

@@EvolvedDetails I love mine; they look great, are easy to put together and have really improved the functionality of my garage.
@@dfbsgarageI agree! The da is great for cutting and correction but rotary function is best for polishing.
Garage looks great BTW. Wish mine looked similar. 👍👍
Thanks Ian I love the new bits and its motivated me to finish it off with a TV and make it a very nice place to spend lots of time
I already want one. Thank you. 👍😁
It's a great little machine for sure
Great video! How do you think this compares to SPTA or even the Adams Swirlkiller version of this polisher.
It's likely they're all very similar to be honest
My doubt is.. this model or the chinese SPTA
Good stuff brother
Thanks man
Identical to SPTA LD-104 ?
It looks different to the one I was seeing pop up on aliexpress but maybe a different model is out now
This is out of stock at the moment. I emailed them in a hope that they'll restock soon. Cool product.
Ohh I must have got lucky and ordered the last one without realising
I just used mine today
How do you like it?
How many days took from shipping?
It's been a while so I can't remember exactly but it was in stock at the time and I'd say 3 days until I received which is about normal
Thanks so much
Thanks
How's the battery life
I've only done small jobs on it so far and seems good.
When I do a full car next I'll have a better idea but for small parts and wheels it's done well and haven't 1 battery always on charge is great
@@EvolvedDetails thanks for info
Your hairy arm was in the way, apart from that very good job
Hahaha
