Can I correct with drill?
I am thinking about getting 12V Right Angle Drill
to run 2", 3" pads.
I used 18V drill for headlights mainly,
and wondered if I could use 12V right angle drill to correct tight spots.
(aka poorman's Ibrid Nano loll)
couple drills Im looking at, has max RPM 800 and 1200.
and my guess is that as long as it can spin pads..... it should correct... no?

It can, but can be grabby/tippy, being a rotary take caution, especially on soft bumper paint.

Re: Can I correct with drill?
Can you? Probably... Would you really want to with amount of tools and proper fitting accessories (backing plates / pads / etc...) on the market?
Me personally, I would just get the correct tool required for the job.
Big Picture Detailing = Boss G15/21 / Rupes Bigfoot 15/21, Flex 3401, GG6, 7424xp... etc..
Up Close Detailing = Rupes iBird Nano, GG3, Fex PE 8.

What he said!
The proper tools always make doing the job easier, safer, and usually better.

Think of it as another tax deduction.... especially before year end.

The problem is you can't deduct what you don't have. LOL

What about getting a smaller backing plate for your 3" machine?

Re: Can I correct with drill?
I've done good correction with the Megs DA Power System on a 20v DeWalt drill. It CAN correct.
I've also tried using a Milwaukee M12 right angle drill with smaller pad (1") - I think it spins at 800 RPM. So far, my testing has shown it CANNOT correct as well as the former set up. Could it do some light polishing? Maybe. Haven't tried it. Works well as a 3" wax spreader though
