    Re: IBrid- Cool factor of 10

    I could be wrong here, but the 3mm attachment seems best suited for using the included sanding paper. 12mm throw isn't friendly to such a small piece of paper.

    Pretty much. I have moved to using their gels that came with the machine and have had good results.

    My favorite use so far has been on our van and just this morning on my car, where I can spot-correct marks, scratches, etc. I found a couple more on the doors of our van where the wife or kids must have rubbed it with a purse or bag, etc. Took 5-10 mins to fix several spots.

    • Waterless washed / prepped the spots
    • Pulled out the iBrid Nano with the 12mm larger pad mounted
    • Polished the spots quickly
    • Re-coated with McKee's 37 Coating

    Re: IBrid- Cool factor of 10

    I have used mine for bunch of things and had no complaints.

    Most recently have been using it with 1" rotary as a sander.

    Using 400 grit paper to sand off aluminum alloy that was improperly sand blasted.

    Surface was very rough and because it was a rim it had tight spots.

    Perfect application for the Nano iBrid.

    Only complaint was got hot after 10 minute continuos use on speed 2.

    The 1" sanding disc don't last very long, so no big deal, as had to change pads often so got a chance to cool a bit.

    They also work good for compounding/polishing same rims after painting as can get in all the spots.

    It will sling until you figure out how much,or how little product you need to prevent it. I start on the slowest speed for a few seconds then bump it up a little. It is so easy to do with the dial where it is.

    Right...just a small learning curve.

    Bingo. The 3mm attachment is designed primarily for sanding purposes (with the PSA plate and P2000/P3000 daisy discs). I've also used it with the brushes for slightly less aggressive cleaning where the rotary was too much but a small amount of agitation would help - around window controls and various knobs for example.
