- In this video we will take a look a the brand new dual action polisher from Ryobi. Ryobi claims you can polish and entire car on a single charge so we will see if that is true. This polisher is light weight and comes in around 3lbs without a battery attached. This kit includes the polisher, 3 pads, D handle and the owners manual. No battery or charger is included and the kit cost $200.

I forgot to mention in the video this is a 5 inch backing plate that comes on the machine. The pads are also 5 inch.
have you tried any different pads with it ?
@@dbabskiautodetailing8254 I haveused the ones that come with it, a Griots Garage Microfiber pad and a Urofiber 50/50 pad and all worked great.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Cool I’ll have to see if they have it here in Hawaii. It’s hard to get stuff here. Would the Hex logic pads and lake country pads work for it too?
Thanks for your help!🤙🏼
@@dbabskiautodetailing8254 You are welcome!
This is what I would call a Real World Review. You answered all my questions. I was at Home Depot looking at this machine. I smashed the Like & Subscribe button. Thanks
Honestly man you are probably my favorite youtube detailer to watch. There are quite a bit on here but Ive found you and I think similarly in products, machines, and process. Keep it up bro and thanks for the tips.
Thanks man I really appreciate that! Will do and thanks for watching
Great vids. I'm a mobile detailer out of NJ. I been up all night off and on watching vids and found you. I have a customer in town and is serious about having his jacked up F250 undercarage washed. Remembered that Ryobi had the undercarage sprayer and I found you.. youhave gained a new follower👍🏾💪🏾
Fantastic - I've been waiting for a proper DA polisher from Ryobi - the "pro" ones are overkill for me. Thankyou Ryobi!
For someone who has a underground parking lot and no power cord this review is so helpful
Glad it helped you!
I have been looking forward to a review on this ever since they announced it. I have quite a few ryobi batteries so I went ahead and ordered one. Funny that you mentioned that it would be good for doing the roof on a vehicle. That's exactly why I ordered it.
You will like it! Any panel you would have to reach across cordless is the way to go.
So far love my Flex XFE..perfect as you say for minor paint correction and/or wax & sealant applications. Real easy to guide holding by the battery. To be able to grab a tool off the shelf and one hand a roof with no cord? Priceless. Perfect for any DIY'rs.
I have used the Flex machines and they are great! It will be nice to have where cords are a pain. Thanks for watching brother
Great and honest review as always brian, you can't beat that, I'm going to stick with the one I have thanks again for your time stay safe 👍👍👍
Thank you! Stick with works for you!
Ryobi always upped their game to every tools! Not the pro tool but it get the job done.
I agree it will get the job done!
Usually when Ryobi rates the runtime of their tools, it's usually with a 4ah or 6ah battery. So the smaller battery will always run out faster. Great review, and thank you.
Yeah even with the 4Ah battery I used it still didn’t make it across the hood. The website states 2 hours of use with a 9Ah battery but the Manila says nothing about that. I think they should fix that. Thank you and you are welcome
The DIYer battery polisher definitely has its place; probably not for full correction, but for waxing and light polishing, it looks perfect. Great honest review!
I agree! Thanks brother
Agreed. I know you can't compare Rupes, as that isn't fair. This is a weekend warrior product. All I am saying is to have your expectations properly set.
For PDR, this is ideal.
I think with the batteries you have for the other Ryobi 18V products, it might not be as bad as you think👍🏼 Love the ergonomic design with the battery pitching away from the panel👏🏼👏🏼 Great video Brian📽👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼
I agree 💯! I think if you had to buy batteries then I would look further. The design is awesome and very comfortable. Thanks brother
Great tool review! Take notes Ryobi!
All very minor fixes but they could definitely bring in A LOT of people into their lineup of tools by perfecting this one tool.
• reverse the battery’s orientation from down to up
• Add tactical feel for each speeds and label max speed
• Improve the switch to be more user friendly
• Lose the one battery claim…
• Instead, highlight its low vibration.
• Specify the throw in mm and correct claim if inaccurate.
• Offer a kit with batteries and charger included for more savings to those new to the Ryobi family of tools.
• The price is quite high for this tool for what it is compared to others on the market.
This still seems to be a great tool overall as all of those things are very minor and more so address the first experience for a “new” Ryobi user. (again, just looking at it from someone who doesn’t own Ryobi tools since going with anything battery operated usually tends to lead to other bare tool purchases from the same manufacturer.
That being said, I still know what I’ll be checking on come Black Friday :)
Thanks again for the excellent review!!!
Thank you and I agree they could improve a few minor things and this thing would be a beast. The throw is definitely not right IMO. I own a 3mm,7mm,8mm,9mm,12mm,15mm and 21mm throw polishers and this one seems like it’s about an 8 or 9. All in all though it is a good machine and will get the job done. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video. I just got this a week ago and want to start using it soon.
You are welcome
Great review I'm definitely wanting to purchase to add to my ryobi fleet lol great detail pointers keep up the great videos
Thank you! It would be a great addition for sure.
Another awesome review. Looks like I am adding a new tool to the tool box
Thank you
Appreciate the un-biased review...it was on-sale today but your analysis gave me some pause which I appreciate.
You are welcome! Glad I could help
Your new mic is fantastic good decision improved big time. I’m looking at the new Shinemate EB351 5” 15mm with Brushless motor. Or the flex. Sandro did a review on the shinemate and said the torque is amazing you will never stall it. Flex is $200.00 more trying to justify the extra money 🤔. When you said use it for the roof perfect nailed it. Very well done review Brian 👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
Thank you! The sound quality is way better. Big panels like roofs and hoods will be great for this because you don’t have to worry about a cord. Thanks for watching brother
I've been collecting Ryobi tools when I found they work great on the same batteries. I don't "need" a polisher now, but it is in one of my possible next Ryobi tools along with a 90 degree power wrench. Thanks for the review!
It would be a great addition to your tools. You are welcome
First time viewer.......without a doubt, you sold me as an immediate subscriber !!! I was very impressed with your presentation, style, delivery, articulation, etc, ect, ect.. It was so comfortable viewing and listening that I'm looking forward to future content. Btw I currently wasn't in the market for a cordless "da", but based on your video, honestly offering and proving the pros and cons, I'm gonna invest in this Ryobi. Stay safe n healthy. best of success to ya! Thank you. Mark
Thank you and welcome to the FAB Family. It’s a good little polisher for sure as long as you have several batteries laying around. You are welcome Mark!
Great video. I just bought one of these for polishing after watching this. As far as batteries, you would need a 6ah to do a whole vehicle. 2ah batteries don’t last long on a drill, much less a polisher. I really appreciate your videos and everything I learn from them. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! I just did a truck today with it and used 2 4ah batteries doing a light polish.
Great review. I always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Great review FAB! Been waiting for a decent review on this polisher as I'm a Ryobi guy too! I contacted Ryobi Australia about this product being released here and all they said was not all overseas products make it to Aust market. Might have to take a punt and get one from USA.
Thanks! I like their tolls also because they have never let me down when I need them. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the review. I am a Ryobi fan and have many of their tools.. I am just a hobbyist I plan to stick with the Griots G8, G9.
Thanks! I completely understand just sticking with what you have.
Thanks for the video fab sounds like a little buffer for the small things like the roof great price it ill be great trying this unit love home depot they do have great stuff thanks fab have a great weekend Brian
You are welcome! Ryobi has some great tools.
I really like your honest review, great video 👍😁
Thank you
Excellent as always and I already have a bunch of Ryobi tools and batteries. Still, with a charger and three batteries it's $358. Pads are a bargain at 3 for $21. Adam's cordless swirl remover is $100 less and Flex is $250 more. Overall I think you nailed it, perfect for the person who is only planning on using it a couple times a year.
Thank you! Yeah for the average guy taking care of his cars that had some Ryobi batteries around this is a great option.
Thank you for the review! I am a professional detailer and currently have a Flex I'm really happy with. I'm also a big Ryobi user for the other tools...was hoping this polisher would give me that cordless option I was looking for. Still seems like a good machine but I'll stick with my Flex.
You are welcome! Yeah stick with the Flex if you do this for a living.
Just watched the entire video loved it, looking for a second cordless DA, this might be it without breaking the bank, plus I already have charger and batteries. Thank you Brian.PS send it over to Apex for full break down.
Thanks! I’m sure he Brian will review it soon.
Awesome review FAB!!
I love the cordless machines😎
Thank you
That is one sweet looking polisher for the money. I am definitely going to have to invest in one of those in the future. The convenience of the battery and not having to deal with the cord is HUGE, especially after using my Flex PXE-80.
It’s a good little machine. The battery life is a let down but the machine works great.
Thanks for the review. I love my ryobi tools but for paint correction, I love my rupes. It’s so smooth and has the power I need to correct harder paints.
You are welcome! I agree but it’s great for an enhancement or wax application.
Great video. I saw your Instagram post and couldn’t wait for your review. I have Ryobi tools so I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on one. I think it will be value add and combine it with my Griots G6 G8 and G9.
Thank you! If you have Ryobi batteries already I think it’s a good buy because it works great.
Thank you for your informative video. I just got this a few days ago, but unfortunately it really bogs down even without any pressure. Going to try and exchange for a new one. Of all the videos out there, your machine seems to be the only one that didn't stall or bog down. Mine got extremely hot. It is a nice machine as it is balanced and doesn't vibrate a lot. Just doesn't keep spinning properly and I tried a 6ah battery as well as the 4ah. Again thanks for the great video. Aloha from Hawaii.
Hi! This is one of the best reviews of a Ryobi tool I've ever seen. Informative and honest. It made me place an order for this polisher. Here in Norway, the best price I can find is $150. Not bad, compared to other Ryobi tools, it's usually at least double the price here compared to the US prices. Thanks again! :-)
Thank you! It’s a great tool for hard to reach places or for an all in one. You are wecome
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Tnx! :-) Please test some of the other Ryobi tools and keep on posting.. Earlier today, I've recived glue guns (x2,. one for my daughter and one for myself). And the Ryobi R18MI-0 multicompressor. Looking forward to test these tools. :-)
I bought Ryobi’s Random orbital Waxer. It works well , and I don’t have worry about cord management waxing our vehicles.
😆 thanks man I bought one of these as I wanted something good & inexpensive in place of my mains powered rupes and didn’t think it was speed adjustable until I saw your intro wicked.
You are welcome!
Great review bud! Very honest and objective. I'm picking one up.
Thank you!
Hey Brian, great find and looks like it works great .
Yeah it does the job for sure!
Excellent Video / Review Brian PS. Sound from Your Mic is Awesome~! Keep it up~!!
Thank you! The mic makes a huge difference.
Great review, bought one for myself off the back of this.
Definitely glad you did the video 😁
Thank you
Thank You for sharing! Inspiring as I too have some other Ryobi schtuff. My son and I use the crap out their mini blower for our car's when we wash and detail.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting
Do you use the mini blower to blow off the water to prevent water spots because I saw someone try that with a Makita but it didn’t have the power
Wow didn't expect to see a Ryobi polisher. That's pretty cool. Looks like it does a great job. I have 2-3 batteries but it will drive me crazy to keep changing them. 2 batteries on just hood. Guess not too bad if you keep rotating in the charger. Thanks for the video Fab!!
I didn’t expect it to operate as well as it did but the battery issue is disappointing. It’s nice to have a cordless around when needed though and if you have 2 or more batteries it should be fine. You are welcome!
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Great to know. I don't have a cordless yet so I'd get this next when I'm ready.
I'm a Ryobi fan and just bought this polisher! It's pretty awesome! 6ah and 9ah batteries are a must if you don't wanna battery swap. Corrected and polished my trucks and wife's car with Ryobi pads. Great products!
Awesome review FAB. Can't wait for Brian from Apex to tear it apart!!
Thank you! I look forward to him doing it also!
I will look into this,I like Ryobi tools they seem to give you a lot of bang for your money!!!!
Great review FAB! I am a Ryobi fan and my first contact with a buffer was that huge 10" cordless consumer model back in 2015. I think they take too long to bring this model to the market. I ended up buying a 5" 15mm throw CP18VOP by Sealey (UK brand). I could not justify the Flex asking price considering I'm an enthusiast using the polisher once a year. I wish it had been from Ryobi but I'm happy overall.
Thank you!
Great review. I am definitely picking this up. Have a bunch of those ryobi batterys and my cheap harbor freight da is a pain with the cord.
Thanks!
New to your channel this video is great continue to teach us sir !!
@@user-cc1jz5eu7s Thank you!
Awesome review been watching your videos lately and must tell you have the best Ryobi product reviews on TH-cam. I’m a huge Ryobi tool fan and love their products. I think they’re a great bang for the buck and great quality especially for DIY’ers. Based on what I saw with the battery life issue I will have to pass on this great tool for Ryobi and stick with my old Griots DA. I am looking for a good long throw DA though since my old Griots I converted to a 3 inch DA for those small spots and corners. Might have to look at some Griots Garage ones since the price and quality are there as well.
Thank you! Ryobi tools are very good. Yeah the battery life is the only down side. I used it for an enhancement the other day and only needed a 4 AH and a 2 AH to get it done. Granted with an enhancement your arm speeds are pretty quick. Griots makes some good polishers.
Interesting review. I agree with you that if you already have the batteries & charger it would have a place in your toolbox. 👍✌️
Thank you! Yeah if you had to buy batteries and a charger it would be a hard sell.
Good review... I've looked at battery powered machines, I cannot see myself buying 3 or so batteries... thankyou for demo-ing and pointing that out..
Thanks! I agree if you don’t have batteries already it’s not worth it for the price of the polisher, batteries and Chargers. You are welcome
I’m definitely buying this.
It’s a good little machine!
GREAT REVIEW! Super good info.
Thank you
Just saying thanks to help the channel.. good vid and info
Awesome review on this machine!
Thank you!
I've had mine for about 3 weeks. The hd site says can do a entire car with a 9ah . I've done 6 cars with it . 2 step on each . Using 3 4ah . Also 2 6ah . I have like 16 ryobi batteries so no big deal to me . Using a 6 pack charger helps pads or ok but I use my lc pads . Great video.
Thats good information, thanks!
I appreciate the info! If you have plenty of batteries I think this polisher is a good deal for sure. Thanks
Good job on this review I appreciate it
Thank you
Been waiting for these to be in stock! I’m pretty sure Ryobi claims the one battery use for polish is using the 9ah battery. I’ll definitely get this as I have tons of Ryobi already. Thanks for the review!
Yes the website says with the 9AH battery and I didn’t see that until after I made this video. The box says 2 hour run time but doesn’t say what battery. In their video on TH-cam they mention 2 hour runtime also but show the guy using a 2AH battery. I hate false advertisement. You are welcome
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Yea I’m with you. I love Ryobi but I called them out on IG when they posted about it. But like you said, it will be great for on top of SUVs and some hoods and areas where the cord is just annoying. I actually just ordered the one that came with a battery. Figured more batteries won’t hurt 😆
@FAB Automotive Detailing I got my polisher in today. I notice a difference in sound from 6800 to max speed and the wheel doesn’t click after max. Just thought you should know. I haven’t actually used it yet though.
@@StangDadGT I appreciate the info. Now I wonder if mine is defective.
The 7500 rpm click is part of the wheel design. At lower speeds the regulator is active but when it clicks to 7500 it’s like a on/off switch. Basically if the regulator breaks or stops working you can still use it at 7500 rpm
Thanks for the info!
You convinced me with this video. Very informative. New subscriber
Welcome to the FAB Family!
Thank you
I have the Dewalt 20v and use both 2 and 5 Amp batteries. Very nice machine, powerful and smooth. Does an excellent job on paint correction and polishing. I also use all Griots Garage products - Fast Correcting Cream with thier microfiber pads or orange pads for polishing. Griots red and black pads are great for waxing. Dewalt unit does have a slight "whine" to it sound wise, but love having a battery random orbital polisher.
I love Griots Garage products because they just always flat out work. Yes having a battery operated polisher is nice. Thanks for watching.
fantastic review - thank you!
Thank you and you are welcome!
Awesome review. I wish they came out with mini-polisher too.
Thanks! Mini polisher would be great.
Great review thankyou. I have a handful of 2.0 Batteries and a 4.0. These are on a good deal at the moment so ill grab one. I have a Porter Cable but only use it a couple pf times a year so this will be ideal.
Thanks! This would be great for you since you don’t use it but a few times a year.
Hey FAB, nice to be back after a few months off. Hair just about all back! Great video with this Ryobi polisher hopefully we have these down here as have 2 very dusty Lexus. Hope all ok over there.
Hey man great to hear from you. I hope you are well
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing On the mend now having treatment for next 6mths. To much time in the sun when we were kids, Melanoma "C" have two very dusty Lexus need cleaning PapaSmurf said he would do the LC 500 🤣 funny about that!
Great video, I bought this today after waiting for months!
At home when inspecting it, I took it out of the box and spun the pad on the machine with my hand, then I notice while viewing it from the side when spinning it that its moving unevenly closer and further from the machines body. So, I think I need to return it for a new one or decide to go for another model with cable. Shame, my Ryobi BIT holders are also acting this way making the screwdriver unsteady.
Thank you! That’s unfortunate I would definitely return it and get another one.
Good review man! I can't wait till Milwaukee comes out with one
Thank you!
Milwaukee makes great cordless tools as well. Definitely above Ryobi quality.
It’s great to see the DYI companies expand their markets and enter the detailing realm. Overall, I believe the tone of your video was that this is a good machine but they just have to work on their battery life. Can you compare the time of use on the Ryobi to other battery polishers?
Yes that pretty much sums up my experience. I don’t have another battery operated big polisher so I can’t speak to that. Sorry
As alwsys Brian you delivers great video brother
Thank you!
Good video bro . Nice work .
Thank you!
Thank u Sir! Imma get one for sure 😎
You are welcome
Great job! At $200 I think it’s a winner
Thanks man! It’s not bad at all I just don’t think I would use it on an entire detail.
Dope review!! Thanks!!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Hey man, great video....now that you've had it a while, how is the vibration and noise and power/stalling compared to your Maxshine and Griots? I know they are all different throws but just curious how they all feel. I've been looking at a original Boss G15 (can get a gently used one), and the Maxshine Pro 15mm....but man, cordless has really caught my attention, I hate cords lol. I have arthritis issues and like machines that are pretty smooth, bad vibrations for hours causes me issues.
I also have the charger and Ryobi batteries so I was wondering about this one. If starting from scratch I'd likely splurge for the Flex. But for this price this one is awesome for my occasional use.
Hi, Nice Review. I probably will get this one for being a DIYer. I think if I worked on Ryobi design team I would next release a Brushless HP version that should have more power and be smoother. I would put in a variable trigger and lock button that your thumb can do like the established polishers would have and maybe turn the battery sideways (not sure on that as it does stand nicely vertically on the concrete floor or workbench setting it down). I think lower bottom end speed would be good too in the 1000 or 1500 OPM range would be good on wax/sealant apps. Almost need the bigger batteries of 4or 5Ah as bigger batteries have lower internal resistance and can give the motor what it wants to do with more oopmfff.
Good morning FAB! Nothing like detail videos in the morning! 😁☕
Maybe the car the they did a whole polish on with one battery was Papas Honda Fit! Lol
Morning! It might be able to do the Fit on one battery but I doubt it. I should send it to Papa to find out. 😂
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing lol
Maybe Ryobi tested this on a Smart car then🤣
Good review. I did a motorcycle and used two 4 amp batteries to complete the job. It's a battery hog. If anyone thinks they will be doing a whole car with one battery they will be disappointed. Also mine only came with two pads. When I called Ryobi to fix the problem they told me to return it to Home Depot for a refund. Not to happy with that response. I use Griots pads anyway.
Thanks! Yes it is a battery hog for sure. That is a weird response you would think they would just send you the one pad.
Ryoby pads, same meguiar's da pads?.I have the impression ?!
Good review my friend 👌
I’m not sure but they seem really nice. Thank you
That's a really nice polisher! I love Ryobi tools , I don't know if you knew already but if you use a bigger battery you will get more power out of the tool , believe me , I was skeptical about the bigger battery too , but my brother who also has ryobi tools told me to use a bigger battery, I was like "that doesn't make any sense, because the volts are the same is just the running time that is affected by the size of the battery, " my brother was like "don't say anything just try it please " ... boyyyy, I was wrong, the performance of my ryobi tools was better and more powerful with the bigger battery than when using the smaller one , I didn't have any big batteries at the time so I went to home depot and got me two 6.0 Ryobi batteries for 99 dollars before tax
I think home depot right now has the spring black Friday sale during the month of March and April, you can get two 6.0 batteries for 99 dollars, the have pretty good sales right now, like better prices on some of the more expensive Ryobi tools , also if you buy a single battery , Ryobi gives you a tool of your choice for free , you should go to Home Depot to check it out
I agree the bigger batteries definitely give you more power. The 4AH are the biggest batteries I have. I will have to check the sale out! Thanks for the info
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing not to bash on you, but that battery you first used looked like they had some wear and tare on it. Unfortunatly as batterys go, expect the best 12 months out of it and after that, you're on borrowed time. Skins will last a life time and batteries are the one that'll make them money. Thankyou for your review though, definatly be getting one!
@@EnvyOCE I’m honestly not sure how old that battery was but it’s probably no more the 1 1/2 years old. The 4AH batteries were brand new for this video and it only lasted about 20 minutes fully charged on this polisher. It’s still a good machine though.
Yes. This is exactly what I want. I bought a ryobi shop light and a charger separately with 2 batteries a year ago. So I’ll get this plus a hedge trimmer. No more shears to cut down Flower bed plants.
I love my Ryobi tools! People like to bash them but they have always got the job done for me and never let me down.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing you should do a video for people who want to pop the paint of their car that doesn’t need a paint correction with a machine. My paint is flawless. But a polisher would make the paint more deep than just adding toppers over toppers.
@@fiouable That is a good idea! Only way to do that though would either use a glaze or jewel the paint but that requires a polisher.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing well get cracking and find a car that just needs a glaze applied with that ryobi polisher!
@@fiouable Wish I could but it’s freezing and snowing here. 🥶
Great, waiting for a cordless review. Thanks dude👍👍👍question....how do you know if you have hard or soft clear coat?
Thanks! Best way to know is to do a test spot. If you can remove defects like swirls with a soft pad and a not very aggressive polish then you have soft clear. If it takes a heavy cut pad with a compound then it’s a hard clear. Hope this helps
What do you think of the noise levels compared to say a Flex or Rupes? Thanks for the review really helpful
I have many Ryobi tools, but not a fan of their drills. I highly recommend the Ryobi Cordless Compact Workshop Blower. It’s only $55 for tool only, and blows at 160 mph! Great review, I’ll be getting one.
You’ll need at least two 4ah batteries for the DA.
I think there tools are great for the average homeowner and DIYer taking care of their cars.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing I am a DIYer , but I’m a professional PDR specialist so many battery operated tools I have, I use RYOBI batteries. The mini blower is great for drying off my vehicles. I also prefer Makita for everything else. Thanks great video!
FAB . ..was up brother. Looks like a nice looking Jeep Comanche there. Lift it so its like a Mercedes-benz G Wagon clone. As for the polisher.... my sons and I are Milwaukee fans but they don't make a DA only rotary. My oldest son that is a Jeep, Dodge mechanic told me that Snap-on has a DA...lol. only 869 easy payments of $190...lol..kidding. I told him hell no. Stay out of that damn truck lol. Those Ryobi batteries are kinda crappy. We used every brand in industrial electrical construction and we stuck with Milwaukee and Hilti. Love the content keep it rolling brother
Thanks! Yeah the battery life sucks but if you have a few it’s not a big deal but that was the only real drawback I had on it. You had me laughing with the SnapOn comment.
This is the 2nd ryobi tool in my aprésenla, it’s dope
Hopefully we'll see this in Australia some time this decade
I know right. Hey do you recommend the one which is currently in aus? The 18v buffeand polisher. Im considering getting anyway to get rid of some branch scratches on our late model subaru xv from offroad. And to improve my 2011 wrx paint
@@RobBradshawG yeh I bought that one. Its really good imo, just had to get into the tight spots by hand
@@jackpage5338 got the one in the video from bunnings today, maybe give them a suss.
For an iron remover that doesn't stink on application on a closed environment AM Details iron fallout remover has done it for me.👌👍
The stink doesn’t bother me anymore I just don’t have water to wash right now because my hose would freeze.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Well, you can use ONR. That's what I did when we were under drought season here.
Very informative video
Thank you!
Thanks for the review of the Ryobi cordless polisher,I finally got 1, you mentioned that you prefer black micro fiber pad, where do you get them ?
You are welcome! The black microfibers pads are Griots Garage BOSS Microfiber pads.
Damn, wireless is gonna be so nice for using the black pad to apply liquid sealants. You can get around the entire vehicle quickly without worrying about the cable accidentally rubbing on the paint.
I agree and I plan to use it for that more then anything else.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing would be nice for spot touchups too.
Good review. I’ll stay with Griots and be fine.
I understand! Thanks for watching
Yeah but cordless is pretty cool
Couple of things on the battery. A bigger battery is going to give you more run time as well as a bit more current draw. I heard it straight away when you slapped in 4ah battery. On the Australian Ryobi site they state a 5ah batttery will give 45mins of run time. Not sure why, but that a big difference and you still won’t get a whole car in 45 mins. Anyway great review, but just thought I should mention that.
Yeah definitely a bigger battery does help but it makes it vibrate more with the extra weight. I appreciate it Thank you!
Awesome review. Appreciate your honesty. I have zero Ryobi batteries so for me this machine is a definite no. My SPTA cordless will continue to be my cordless workhorse. SPTA comes with 2 batteries and a charger for the same price as this Ryobi. Paid $40 for a 3rd battery so now I can do a whole large SUV with no problem.
Thank you! Phil loves his SPTA also. I would have went with that but I had plenty of batteries for this polisher. I think the SPTA battery life is better though.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing most definitely a longer battery life. The SPTA is a 20v so that gives a little extra time. I could’ve corrected and then polished that hood easily with one battery. Probably the roof also.
You can buy battery adapters.
Great review! I have been debating on purchasing one. Is the 5” backing plate removable?
Thanks! It is removable
I like Ryobi for my not so critical tools but I use Milwaukee for harsher applications. I purchased the Ryobi cordless angle grinder and returned it the next day. The rpm's are not enough to grind welds for long, it would shut off. Switched to the Milwaukee and even though it does not compare to a corded, it serves its purpose of reducing the amount of cords running all over the place. I think I will buy the Milwaukee cordless polisher for the extra cost, knowing that it will do a better job.
Ryobi isn’t bad for the average DIYer. It is nice to be cordless for sure.
Hi my friend
I love the Ryobi Arsenal I've many thing from drills garden strimmers hedge cutter power wash
Yes and now this is going to be a part of that collection
Must say here in the UK I've just paid £89.00 for it without battery of course
I have several 4ah batteries and like you I would hit the bulk of a correction with my mains DA but when it comes to the fenders and roof that hopefully where it will pay for it's self
Cheer bud nice inside into the product
I feel as you have said I would
Ryobi has great products! You should check out my other Ryobi videos where I show my collection also. It’s great for roofs and also to use with AIO Protestants. Thanks!
