    IBrid- Cool factor of 10

    Spent some time using my new Ibrid the last few days. Portable,powerful,lightweight & cordless,oh yeah,it kicks butt as well. Only used the rotary function with 1" pads so far but it is a real pleasure to use. Looking for more uses for it already. Very cool tool!!

    I used mine with the 3mm throw. Even on speed 5 I had stalling issues. I think I just haft to practice my technique using it. I think once I get it down it will be much more of a pleasure to use.

    I haven't tried the 3 mm yet. A lot of people seem to be having stalling problems with that. The 12 mm works good. Great little machine.

    Agree. My frustrations started with the 3mm throw. The 12mm works well but the trick is very very light pressure. Slinging product is still a problem.

    I have had awesome results with paint correction using the 12mm and rotary. I absolutely love mine and think it is well worth the money.

    Love mine on the 12mm setup. Have also used the rotary too. The rotary will sling a little bit.

    After reading you guys post about the 12mm I switched to to 12mm. Wow what a difference. It makes me wonder why did Rupes bother to put a 3mm throw in the kit. The 12mm make the 3mm seem useless.

    Do you just have problems with slinging with the blue pad? To first time I used it I primed the blue pad the way I prime my pads on the bigger machines. Good lord I think it was worse than the ONE time I pulled a DA off the paint while still spinning. lol Lessons you usually learn after the first time. The yellow pad and gel are great.
