    Cordless Polisher?

    Hello
    I was just wondering if there is a cordless polisher that you guys recommend?

    My car is in a parking ramp and I don't have access to an outlet but I'd like to hit some parts with a polisher now and then.

  2. Thanks Dan Tran thanked for this post

    Any corded polisher of your choice and a Honda EU1000i generator
    There are a couple units out there (Griots cordless DA for one) but nothing yet with any decent power or runtime.

    Milwaukee makes one. Would be good for touch ups, but not a whole car.

    Do you have a buddy/relative where you can borrow their driveway & an outlet for a few hours?

    The runtime on the cordless is a killer. Probably need a box of batteries to a small car. Atleast a few batteries to touch up a panel or hood. A colleague bought the griots one to use on his Boxter. After one use he returned it; run time and power were lackluster. He is using my old PC now.

    I purchased A Griots Cordless last December. Since then my PC & Flex have been on vacation. I purchased the two battery kit figuring I'd need both....wrong. I've done my Honda Odyssey numerous times and only twice needed to use the second battery. I took it on a road trip with two batteries in the rear storage well of the C7 convertible to do a relative's new Benz and my sisters Lexus. No problem with one battery for each.
    I use it as a AOI spreader. If I need correction I'd grab the Flex. Not having a cord dragging around is great....I'd buy it again in a heart beat.

    Good to know. First positive review I've read.
