    Re: Ibird owners

    The Rupes iBrid is a great tool.

    The kit is expesive so would be nice just to get just the polisher.

    The rotary attachment is only recommended for 1 " pads.

    I use mine all the time with the 1" rotary pads on small areas.

    It slings product everywhere so protect adjacent panels.

    I have the shortneck and glad I do.

    Good control and ease of use.

    The cordless is the best feature.

I bought the longneck version and wish I would have bought the shortneck one for more maneuverability in tight areas. Also great for wood grain interior pieces and correcting interior scratches in hard plastic. It's great for the OCD detailer.
    Carpro teased us with a pad puncher
    Def gonna like that.. More options for pad..or recycle older pads to use on nano

    But back on topic
    I use mine for exactly what I intended to.. outline edges and corners along with spot correction..along with areas on bumpers..oh and mirrors

    Mainly use 12mm attachment...sometimes the rotary
    The 3mm attachment stalls too much

    PS.
    They should release a Rubber boot.for it

    Agreed. Rupes 1.5" and 2.75" pads are ridiculously expensive. 1.5" works out too $6.30 each! And 2.75 works out to $10 each! That's more than a standard size 5.5" pad! Once in a while, Autogeek has a no restriction coupon code. So get the polisher from Autogeek. BUT get pads from Kevin Brown or a pad punch from KXK Dynamics.
