Watching this while working....Great content!

[@originalsupermommy]

I'm still a noob but I picked up my first cordless, like the commenter below me I grabbed a Flex PXE 80. I love how lightweight it is, as a middle aged woman I appreciate lightweight yet powerful tools. My only other polisher is a Griots G9 which is also fairly lightweight compared to other polishers in it's class. Love your vids, especially anything about paint enhancing and correcting. ❤

[@MirandaDetailing]

That’s awesome! Thanks so much!

[@PapaSmurf918Detail]

Just got my first cordless pxe80 and I can say. No cord is sopoo nice.. thanks fornthe information Phil!! Always helpful.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

One day will get one of those SPTA or Batoca or Flex cordless 😄

[@originalsupermommy]

I just got a PXE 80 too! Can't wait to give it a try this weekend, extra pads just came in the mail today.

[@PapaSmurf918Detail]

@@originalsupermommy awesome man! I found extension kits and 2" backplate from DetailDivision.. 🤜🤛 Aps makes the. And they are good quality. Will be here tomorrow! Might have to do a video on it👍

[@originalsupermommy]

@@PapaSmurf918Detail Sounds awesome! The 2" accessories are next on my list. I picked up some yellow 1" Rupes Nano pads to try on the PXE 80 too. I really like the contour shape of the Nano pads, looks good for tight curved spots.

[@jdisdetermined]

Picked up a PXE80 a few months ago myself. Absolutely friggin love it. I haven't used a 3" corded since. It has all the power I've needed to handle micro *and* mini work. Being so compact and cordless it's just an absolute joy to use.

Bowel of noodles watching you guys, its a good day.

Thanks!!!

[@timothywong3026]

Hi Phil, so just to confirm, you are using the FLEX batteries on this Batoca S2? This is the 18V correct? I see that the ones they bundle in the kit are rated for 12V - so in your opinion the 18V are okay with it?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. So this video is older and at the time the Batoca polisher could use the Flex battery. But they since changed the design I noticed and I’m not sure anymore. I don’t have the new version to check. I can’t find the older version anywhere, I think they discontinued this model. Sorry.

[@timothywong3026]

@@MirandaDetailing Thanks for the reply back Phil. Ah I see! Because I also saw a reply from you that your version was a 15mm throw, but the revised models are now 8mm. Anyway - keep up the good content :)

[@MirandaDetailing]

@timothywong3026 you’re welcome.

[@nicksdragon6929]

Hi Phil, great job explaining Dr Beasley NSP. I guess my first question is have you stopped using other polishes for cars that you're going to prep for a ceramic? With that in mind, My second question is that if I use say a heavy cut do a stage two or stage 3 and then I use the NSP 45 on the final polish. Would that also work by giving me the ceramic connecting points on the surface? In other words, can I use up the 20 bottles of polish I have in this garage over the next year and have 2 years and then start using all the NSP products, the 150, the 95 and a 45. Or do I have to start using all three of the products now? Also, do you think it's worth just replacing that I have with the NSP and just using the 150 replace my heavy cut and the 95 for my medium and the 45 one finishing polishes. I'm pretty impressed with your video and what it does and how it works and if it's as fast as my current stuff and I don't have to use an IPA, that's a game changer for me. Because I'm doing the math. Math it's a very expensive product but if I literally can say do a 20" by 20" area with just two pea sized drops of NSP 150 vs 3 large drops 3D or Rupes coarse, then it should be cost effective. Please correct me on any errors of interpretation I have on what I saw on the video. Just to say I am very interested in this product and I never really connected with it before. I'm also amazed how few KZbin videos there are on the product. But I am definitely listening with both ears😅

[@MirandaDetailing]

Awesome!! Yes that’s it!!! Thanks! Full video is being made on it

[@royweiss75]

After watching this video I went ahead and bought the Batoca : one of the worst shopping experiences ever, so a word of caution to all interested - these guys have a bad response rate leaving me days without replies, and this is after they sent me the wrong unit (a cheaper corded version instead of the cordless I ordered) - beware!! Still enjoy your vids very much, Phil, and love your 'no fuss' approach to the work done - thank you for making them!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. I'm so sorry that happened to you! Not sure why they would do that. I have only had one problem with them because they sent over the wrong charger, it was a UK version plug. But I just bought an adapter. I have heard some bad stories about SPTA service also, But usually they work it out. Must have been a bad employee on the week you ordered it. Sorry again for that experience with them.

[@royweiss75]

@@MirandaDetailing I'm sure it will get sorted. No blames to you! I appreciate your opinions and I'm sure this isn't happening with every purchase. BTW I pay attention to how you describe the products - it sometimes feels as if I'm already using them if that makes sense. Love the channel!

[@MirandaDetailing]

I hope it does man, Thanks! I really try to explain things so anyone can understand. 😎👍🏼

[@AmirAbdullah]

Very nice. Might be a really good deal.

[@edwardanugent]

Hey I am a newbie thinking about buying this. How should I avoid paint burn using this?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Cool! You really shouldn’t have issues burning paint if you just be gentle and careful. Dual Action polishers are very safe anyway. Just watch and listen to our videos and take your time researching and practicing. Check out our older videos on paint enhancement and correction and you will see how we use these.

[@airbus320ism]

Hi Phill I ordered the Batoca,I should have it next week,how long the battery lasts? Thanks.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. That’s great. About the same as the most cordless polishers. It’s hard to say because when polishing you don’t use it continuously. But usually when doing our paint enhancements we get about half way around before we need a new battery.

[@Dibaspicardetailing]

Ciao, hai sentito nominare il marchio Lulyday? È una lucidatrice da 5 e 6 pollici ma in Italia non si trova. Tu ne hai mai sentito parlare?

[@alvin3502]

What is the throw for the batoca?... is it 8mm throw and can we change the backing plate?

[@MirandaDetailing]

The Batoca is a 15mm throw. As far as I know it doesn’t have the option to a 6” backing plate.

[@johndibiase882]

How is the vibration on the SPTA. I have several Griots and the vibration is killing me.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Personally I don't find it to be bad at all. I have a Maxshine and Rupes and they are all about the same

[@lunestock]

Hey Phil. I saw in another of your videos you have a smaller Batoca cordless polisher. Have you done a review of that? How do you find it? Cheers.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks. Yeah that little Batoca Cordless polisher was just for wax/sealant application. I don’t do typical reviews on tools and products. I usually just show how they work in my retailer videos. But it’s a great little application polisher. It can’t do anything more than apply waxes/sealants. I am also getting one from SPTA that is the same style and size but it comes with both 5&6 inch backing plates.

[@lunestock]

@@MirandaDetailing Thanks for the reply. Good to get the info from a genuine guy, I don’t really trust the Amazon reviews. So for a guy who takes a bit of pride in the appearance of his car, and of course the wife’s, only minor blemishes and swirling, do you think it would be sufficient to polish and wax it? Or would I be better off spending the money on a corded machine with more grunt? I’m in the uk if that makes a difference, we don’t always get the same brands.

[@alvin3502]

What do you think about the pads they include with the batoca polisher? Are they usable or are they good for garbage?

[@MirandaDetailing]

They are ok, Not really the best, but they work.

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

Is the SPTA $50 bucks cheaper too? Am I seeing that right? Thx

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Perhaps. It depends on what kit you get.

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

[@mutatedgenome]

Hey Phil, what percentage of your prep/enhancement/correction work is done with cordless polishers? Are you only grabbing a corded machine if you have a full correction job or are you still mostly using the cordless even with those? How often these days do you reach for a rotary?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Well for the past year I have used the corded Polishers maybe 3 times! We primarily use the cordless now, it’s so convenient! I only have a small rotary for headlights sometimes and spot polishing, but that’s about it. But I will be getting a rotary and playing around with it more.

[@timkinley1779]

@@MirandaDetailing After sanding I'll use a rotary for the heavy lifting then finish with a RO. If I'm doing gelcoat, a pneumatic rotary is my go-to because of the angles on a boat. Glasswork (and patience) are much easier with a gear driven machine.

[@wescat2]

Phil when it comes to applying waxes or sealants. Do you prefer the Batoca or small-SPTA? I've seen you use both in various videos. Thanks!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Actually they are both the same. I just have a 6” backing plate on the Batoca and a 5” backing plate on the SPTA. So I just choice one or the other depending on what pads I have cleaned and available.
