Are you a detailing purger or a hoarder

[Coatingsarecrack]

I have a lot and horsed a bunch of MF when a good Black Friday deal was on but I’ve relaxed more.

More big purchases than a lot of littles.

3 LSP’s this year and 2 cordless polishers…… and some backin plate and extensions…… and pads……. Maybe I have a problem?

What cordless did you settle with?

What cordless did you settle with?

Cbeast and PiXiE.

Cbeast from Autogeek because I had $500 in giftcards during a really good sale. Didn’t see me needing much more in products and their dwindling stock, lack of sales scared me so I just did it.

PiXiE from DI because it was $360, no tax or shipping and I had a $100 credit from my cancelled Griots foamer.

Easy justify it to myself…

Try the Cbeast yet?

Personally, i'm good with what i have now in regards of polishers. But it will be interesting what rupes comes out with IE 5 inch cordless DA.

They are truly pure CRACK! And I can't get enough
Neither purger or hoarder. I like having a bit of everything that has proven tested results. I went though the polisher stage and went with Flex Cbeast and PXE then Rupes 3"17L75E and the ibrid Nano and the LHR15 Mark 3 and the Bigfoot LHE19 AFTER TRYING THE CBEAST All I want from now on is cordless. I decide to make the big jump over to SHINEMATE. I got there ShineMate EB351 3/12 and a cordless rotary was the icing on the cake ShineMate EB251-6 Love them all allot!!!
Then my collection of compound to fine finishing like nV finesse or perfect Finish allot more creams than I could list. Maybe somday I will downsize after we find what's working best.

My polishing needs don't even warrant it (have 2 Boss, and 3 Rupes) but I added the Milwaukee M18 Cordless Polisher to the stash.
I do have ALOT of Milwaukee batteries from 3AH- 12AH (about 40+ batteries) on hand.

For those that are going cordless, the batteries is what is the biggest cost on ROI.
There is a -finite- life - batteries do degrade once it rolls off the factory floor.
Account for proper -storage- when not in use for LITH IO. cells, etc to extend longevity, etc.
Are these areas of considerations/factors as you buy cordless polishers ?
For a pro, I suppose no, as it is a consumable.
For a weekend warrior, YMMV as cheap cordless - the quality of the batteries , whether it be 1 year of 4 years do matter I suppose..

How do you like the Milwaukee? Which throw did you go with? How does it compare to your Boss?
