BEST MINI CAR POLISHER | Rupes Ibrid Nano Polisher Unboxing and Review

[@millyharbinger8897]

As someone who owns the ibrid nano polisher it’s so handy for all the grilles that high end cars have and muscle cars with open air vents even interior piano trims. I do agree it’s not for everyone but as I run my business it’s a must have I wish I had gotten this tool sooner.

[@jameschan1334]

Can you try out the maxshine cordless mini polisher? Seems like a great budget alternative. Not sure why there is barely any reviews online of it? It's been out for awhile now. Thanks again for all the great reviews and comparisons 👍

[@bigdog2375]

Love the videos josh, been watching for awhile. Would love to see a video on how to remove scratches from interior plastic in my bronco

[@timmy8784]

I used the ibrid nano for a few years and it is a good machine. Did have an internal issue but rupes customer service was great and serviced for free. However I switch to the flex pxe-80 and love it. The quick switching out of the throws and the lock on makes it a game changer.

[@catguy64]

I have both.. pxe is awesome.

[@adrianlawrence7224]

Although I could never justify this machine for my needs it's good to see what it offers compared to the entry level types.

[@catguy64]

It's a must if you're the ocd type. Build quality is superior to Adams and is quieter. It just feels good in the hands. It's a precision tool for tight spots around the grille, door jambs etc. Nylon brushes are great for cup holders etc. It will last a long time I don't understand the bickering about price on quality tools..

[@Jay_Tovennn]

Would this be good for a motorcycle? I wanted to purchase this along with the LHR15 Mark |||

[@redkey6538]

Hey Josh what do you think of the new Milwaukee polisher I know it is on the expensive side but wanted to see if you tried it out?

[@legacydentco]

I’ve been using the Adam‘s for the past three years, it’s extremely reliable! And killer polisher especially for the price. Looking forward to you trying that one out! I use the Rupes extension on mine. Another great video friend!

[@verdantacres4460]

Just bought one from the link. Thank you for the review it firmed up my decision.

[@imjoshv]

Glad I could help

[@davidfountain4229]

Thanks for this. I’m not a professional but like detailing the cars I have. I own the Rupes Duetto and the mini Bigfoot. Have look at this machine to get in the tight spots but the price holds me back. Haven’t ruled it out but will definitely be following your channel to see some alternative choices. New subscriber.

[@JoseVera20]

The thing I love the most about it is when a customer asks for a quick scuff or scratch removal, quick water spot removal or if you miss a spot on something it’s so quick just pulling this mini polisher out for a quick correction instead of grabbing and connecting your big ol polisher. I keep it in my tool belt at all times during a paint correction! It’s a life saver, the price is high but once you have it you forget how much you spent on it 😊

[@imjoshv]

I agree the build quality and use case in amazing. But doesnt appeal to everyone with the price

[@williamgarcia3316]

hi josh,wich one you thinks is the best foam cannon the mckillans foam cannon or the matcc foam cannon? thanks.

[@Hutch400]

I hope you do a review of one with a flexible extension. Looks like you can get one with that tool but way expensive for the DIYer

[@imjoshv]

Good idea, I know maxhine makes them that you can connect to a rotary tool.

[@Auto-Bots.Custom.Detailing]

Man I think this looks like an awesome polisher, but man I really want that limited edition max shine Halloween edition. My wife and I’s anniversary is Halloween, just seems like is calling to me😂. Thanks for the review Josh, don’t know how I haven’t seen this review yet.

[@oscent1]

You mean you get 3 different modes: rotary, 3 MM d-a and 12 MM d-a (you said 3 & 12 „inch”) :) but good review and unboxing. appreciate it

[@davestewart9146]

Really nice kit Josh 👍😁

[@tioswift3676]

$630…yeah I’ll stick to my regular DA for my once a year polishing 🤣 I can see detailing business owners buying this though

[@imjoshv]

Yea its a very specific person they are targeting for this. Definitely overboard for most people

[@simonghantous8034]

I own my own business and i will never buy it bud. There's a lot of nice machines out there.

[@basketball798]

Do you think the spta mini is alot worse than the rupes?

[@nopiatl]

My SPTA works 👍🏾 great..

[@impala-wf2sd]

What's going on with dewalt cordless polisher that u reviewed it's out of stock & expensive everywhere

[@jeffm3072]

Carbon Collective from Detail Division, half the price & works just as good

[@basketball798]

SPTA just came out with a new more powerful mini polisher. Just got mine will be testing soon

[@homehouae2937]

Any plans to test the new Milwaukee units more specifically the Milwaukee M18 FUEL18V Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 15MM DA Polisher model 2684-20?

[@Elniniss]

I use the adams micro polisher with a 3 inch backing plate for headlight restorations. Hopefully milwaukee releases a smaller m12 polisher to go with their new big throw cordless da polishers.

[@imjoshv]

Just ordered the milwaukee 15mm cordless to compare to my dewalt!

[@romeoramirez5580]

Awesome video! Can you do a review comparing Milwaukees new da polisher vs dewalts da polisher

[@imjoshv]

great idea! Just ordered the milwaukee

[@TripleGAutoDetailing]

Great review. SPTA tremendous bang💥 for the buck!!

[@imjoshv]

I have it coming!

[@simonghantous8034]

Don't get me wrong there Amazing. But wayyy over priced. ShineMate Mini Rotary Polisher Kit. It does the same thing and not over priced. Love ur videos!!!

[@imjoshv]

Yes very expensive. Stay tuned for my comparison video of a few different similar polishers at much lower prices

[@nicksdragon6929]

Josh I have the Adams micro polisher, if you were to grade the Rupes a 10, what would you grade the Adams?

[@imjoshv]

Hey Nick, If you have the adams, i think there is no need to go to the rupes. I havent used that tool that much but from what i have, i like it. I have another one coming now so ill be doing a full comparison of them soon!

[@nicksdragon6929]

@@imjoshv Thank you very much

[@gregorybarrera8719]

Pretty cool. Definitely seems like a lil multi tool. Could use the sanding and polishing for headlight restoration as well. Above my price point rn but still awesome..

[@imjoshv]

Its a little under powered for headlight restoration i think, but awesome for the small detail you cant normally get to. But yea very expensive

[@theunkownmr.562]

This polisher needs an update in 2024. It's six years old.

[@mattk2025]

JOSH YOURE AWESOME KEEP GOING GOD BLESS!!

[@imjoshv]

Thanks Matt

[@joestewart8966]

600 is wildddd. I'm 18 and recently started professional detailing, I've got a 6 inch longthrow maxshine polisher and that's all I use when I polish vehicles. Tighter spots are a problem, so I'm looking forward to see the other options you recommend. Edit: I just saw that you listed the other options in the description, which one would you recommend? Is adams reputation worth the $100+ price difference?

[@Ymh69969]

Another really good option is the griots garage super good quality!

[@imjoshv]

I actually just ordered them myself and havent tested them yet. Ill be doing a video on them soon!

[@imjoshv]

Crap i didnt see that one haha. I have 5 or so more coming to test out

[@joestewart8966]

@@imjoshv have you seen the one by maxshine? What do you think about it ?

[@mutatedgenome]

I have one. It's nice and has it's place, but I use my Flex PXE 80 more.

[@imjoshv]

Just ordered that one to compare!

[@nopiatl]

Very nice that you're reviewing this period but me as a professional detailer I still wouldn't spend that much for something I use maybe twice the 3 times a week. It just doesn't pay for itself at all.

[@imjoshv]

Very fair point!

[@nopiatl]

@@imjoshv You know what you are really cool dude really really professional outstanding videos I watched all of them I appreciate your coverage and review of the products that you do thank you.

[@MikesAutoDetailing]

Great video

[@glenf4115]

If Festool made a small DA polisher...

[@tier1detailing]

Asinine that this thing doesn't include a rubber housing of some sort on the head for that $

[@realstrikelureco]

SPTA MINI POLISHER

[@imjoshv]

I have one coming to test out!

[@realstrikelureco]

@@imjoshv I have one! Works great! I want to order the Rupes brushes for it, hope the thread size will work. I ordered different backing plates (sizes) for it as well. I did windows, windshield and stainless on a 2017 Nissan Rogue and made it all the way through with one battery.

[@nopiatl]

I love mine. And it paid for itself within Two weeks

[@chriss1183]

It looks like my toothbrush!

[@no_lft_shft]

I want it lol

[@imjoshv]

Ha its a fun tool

[@christopherpinto884]

PLEASE MILWAUKEE U KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT 😂

I ordered the cordless they have to compare to my dewalt
