I waxed and polished my 26ft boat plenty of power and a great dive to get in tight spots. Use it all the time can do a lot of different jobs with the assorted accessories

I am impressed with this little versatile tool and the advantage to do small panels at a time using the large cache of milwaukee batteries I have collected with many sets in past. It’s great to offer a “tool only” option to save a little and justify a purchase more so than to keep buying kits with batteries. I used this for polishing and was so impressed that I could not stop with the “what else can I conveniently polish?” jitters. It works very well and gave me roughly 25 minutes of variable run time on the XC which is great for a small panel. I would say you need at least 3 batteries to charge cycle if you are using this to polish a larger surface so you always have a charged battery as one dies. The best is that it feels very well balanced and not heavy at all so you will have less fatigue in the hand compared to hand polishing with a buffing pad. With anyone curious about reverse, it does not have reverse as it is intended for polishing and sanding only. With that said, if you are looking for something to use effectively for polishing small surface areas, give this one a shot as long as you do not expect to fully polish a whole car in one charge.

Quiet is awesome while I buff. Coming from an air buffer. You will be needing a large capacity battery. I bought a 6amp hr it works great.

This little guy is amazing! It easily replaces my air die grinder while being more versatile. This is perfect for cleaning lenses on cars,trucks and even windshields for ATVs and Snowmobiles. The guy above, that kind find consumables obviously doesn’t know how to use the internet.
