SPTA Cordless Mini Car Polisher, 12V Micro Cordless Scratches Killer Car Polisher RO/DA Mini Car Polisher for polishing, Sanding and Cleaning

This polisher is awesome. Build quality seems fantastic and battery life has been perfect for what I've used it for. The speed is fast enough for light compounding or polishing. This worked for getting into a bumper where I had a small paint run after I sprayed it. Price was right.

Excellent little polisher. The ability to use as a straight polisher or add the adapter to make it work as a DA polisher is great. Cut and polish fast then use the DA option to finish up is brilliant. Having two rechargeable/swappable batteries is a bonus. Plenty of battery life and the multiple speeds with it always starting at the lowest speed is a plus. One of the best mini tool purchases made.

Good polisher for the money. Lots of accessories as well. 2 batteries that last long along with charger. I Paint corrected my motorcycle and did an amazing job.It’s perfect for the hideous small jobs that regular sized polishers are too big for!

Nice case. Batteries last. One can charge while you work and result in 100% duty cycle.

This is a great tool! It’s a good size to get it where you need it and has a good battery life as well. It’s in a great case and everything is made really well.Definitely a good tool for a great price.

I’ll start with cons, since that’s a small list and I’ll get it out of the way first. Really, I only have one con... one of my two batteries has stopped working after 3.5 years. It actually behaves exactly like one of the videos from another reviewer where the polisher works great for about 5 seconds or so, then dies. That itself isn’t a con, batteries will fail in everything after a few years, but finding a replacement hasn’t been easy. They’re essentially only available from SPTA directly, but I’m happy they’re available at least! I wish there was a plug in option for a few years down the road when I can’t get replacement batteries, but that sort of defeats the portability of the polisher. It would be great if they used some sort of commercially available 12v battery system instead of a proprietary one, but that’s a minor complaint.Now for the rest of the review. I’ve used this polisher sporadically over the last 3.5 years and it’s been great. It’s smooth with little vibration, speed and power are nice, lightweight so easy to use for extended periods, and the kit comes with pretty much everything you need to get started - just add your favorite compound or polish. I mainly use it with the smaller head and 1” pads, and it’s been amazing for getting scratches out of small areas, close to edges/trim, and on interior shiny plastics like the dreaded piano black. Overall, I love it and if you’re a weekend warrior like me and not a pro, then this little polisher will get you the same results and is a no brainer vs the very nice but prohibitively expensive Rupes machines.

So I've now had 2 of these show up on my doorstep. I got the first one and immediately opened it. It looks well made and I was excited to get it working so I looked over the instructions to start putting things together. I grabbed the da attachment and spun it into the tool and used the tools provided to tighten it. I then took the backing plate and tried screwing it in. I tried both ways, left and right. I tried pushing it in harder and I tried no pressure and just screwing it in. Nothing worked, the female threads on this attachment were done for before I even got the product. So I ordered a replacement and filed a return for the first. Got the second one, exact same issue. I'm not sure what's going on with the quality of this product but I'll be steering clear of this brand from now on. If the da attachment just worked everything else would be fine but I'm not sure how you don't catch this before it leaves. If I didn't use the attachment I could just use the backing plates, but I ordered a da polisher for a reason.

This thing works amazing in tight areas, A pillars etc.
