We added 4 new polishers in 2023 that includes brands like Rupes and LC Power Tools. We&#8217;re going to quickly hit up on the the trends that we&#8217;re seeing and then talk about the highlights of the 4 new polishers. <\/p>\n<h2>Trends<\/h2>\n<p>This is the biggest year for polishers at DI that I can remember. The biggest game changing year has to be when the Rupes BigFoot caught fire. Before that maybe the Porter Cable, then there was Griot&#8217;s G9 and long throw releases. Now we have multiple releases and new brands to add to the mix. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Increased Competition<\/strong>: We added two new brand of polishers; Dynabrade and the very well know power tools company Milwaukee. It&#8217;s getting increasingly competitive in the polisher space. We heard a bunch of buzz on the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 15mm and 21mm that we couldn&#8217;t ignore. Same with the DB8, you can&#8217;t ignore when famous detailer Renny Doyle releases a polisher that he&#8217;s been working on for years. And these are only the polishers that we picked up, it seems like everyone is getting into polishers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Batteries<\/strong>: I think we&#8217;re in the middle of the transition, especially since Rupes has entered the conversation with their new full sized battery powered polsihers in the iBrid HLR15 and HLR21. We&#8217;re not quite there yet for a full transition but I think battery powered tools are so much more convenient than corded and worth the trade off. On that topic Xavier @ DI wrote a great article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/pros-and-cons-of-battery-powered-and-corded-polishers\/\">Pros and Cons of Battery Powered and Corded Polishers<\/a> worth taking a look at.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>New Polishers<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"60%\" valign=\"top\">\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/LC-Power-Tools-M108\/UDOS-31E-3-in-1-Polisher-P3244\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LC Power Tools UDOS 31E 3 in 1 Polisher<\/a><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>One polisher, 3 different motions;
