Review on KIMO 12V 3” Cordless Polisher Kit - Car Buffer, 2.0Ah Battery & Fast Charger, Variable Speed And 4 Pads For Detailing/Scratch Repair by Jose Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Compact and Ergonomic, lacking a little power

I tried to polish some clear coat fading on my car and didn't have much luck. i am new to polishing, so it's probable that wasn't doing things right, or was trying to correct too much fading, but I did not have any success. I was using rubbing compound and polish with the cloth attachment and the green foam pad attachment respectively. I will blame my lack of success on my inexperience, or the quality of the pads. As far as the tool is concerned, it is very ergonomic and light. it fits in the hand nicely and is easy to control which is very nice. It feels quality in this regard. I only have two real complaints. I wish the speed setting were isolated from the on/off setting. I think a trigger for on/off would have been better, especially for turning off quickly. Also, the lowest 2 settings do not have enough power to really be useable; any pressure will slow them down or stop the rotation completely. The higher settings have enough power to polish a car with some pressure, but I did have the motor stop on me a few times (due to too much torque applied or overheating, not sure), so just be aware of that. It was not too much of an issue though and I was putting quite a bit of pressure. Overall though, it works ok and If you already are in the 12V line it could be a nice addition if you are in need of a polisher.
