    To my knowledge it has meh, correcting power.

    That said, this should kick ass.

    25 minutes of continuous power... I take a lot longer than that to do a car with an AIO. This would be amazing for applying an LSP but I don`t see it as useful for much more. Maybe throw a bonnet on it and remove the haze too.

    I suppose it may also work for doing spot corrections. But I wouldn`t expect more than a panel or two before you have to recharge

    Since it is basicly a cordless sander I don`t expect much if any power behind it. Sanding disks a much thinner and lighter than buffing pads. IMO this might be a decent wax spreader or wet sander.

    So how long does it last if you put pressure on it to correct anything ?

    Perhaps if a quality Detail was already done before, and one wanted to just touch something up lightly ??

    Dont see the horsepower in the machine size or the battery size for anything serious..

    They are using the right battery type for longer life, etc..

    Good luck with this..

    I honestly wouldn`t waste my time or money on it bud. I would maybe consider it, if it were an 18v.

    I bought the kit which comes with bag and extra battery. I used it to apply Optimum GPS with no problem on wife`s CTS. I used Micro-fiber pads. Extra battery is nice just in case.

    This is just another toy for me along with all the waxes,QD, MF towels that I spent alot of money on also.

    REVIEW! Griots Garage 5 inch Lithium-Ion Random Orbital Polisher
    jesse did a quick review on the polisher. I would like to have one since you can never have too much detailing stuff, but think an extra back up battery or two is a must.

    Agreed.

    The included 10.8 volt battery provides enough power for 25 minutes of continuous operation
    Wax spreader at best.
