\"Emergence
\nOver the years we have certainly seen the emergence of small polishers to better tackle polishing tight spaces and get into those nooks and crannies. Along with these newer small polishers, manufacturers released battery powered units that allow you to cut the cord for some extra convenience during use. At this most recent SEMA Show 2022 we saw two more small polishers come to market from the likes of Rupes and Griot’s Garage!<\/p>\n

From what I can remember here at Detailed Image, early on we carried two smaller polishers, the Rupes BigFoot Mini and the Griot’s 3″ Polisher. From there, came the desire for 1″ and 2″ pads that people were custom making and jerry rigging to work with current polishers at that time. Then finally came the battery powered Rupes iBrid Nano Polisher, with dedicated 1″-2″ pads. Small polishers kept coming to market like the Flex PXE 80 12-EC\/2.5 Cordless Polisher<\/a> that works with pads sizes 1″-3″. And to the newest ones that DI will be picking up are the Rupes iBrid HLR75 Mini Polisher<\/a> and Griot’s Garage THE BOSS Hybrid Micro Polisher<\/a>. Here’s a quick overview the small polishers that DI carries starting with the newest releases from SEMA 2022<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
