Professional detailer?? Weekend warrior ?? Ive got a lil something you may be interested and with a HUGE dollop of convenience thrown in.

Check our brand new cordless milwaukee m18 15m throw machine, thrown in at the black hole end of the pool correcting and refining a Mercedes grand edition LWB limo .... The machine was gasping for air by the end of this one!

Question is..... will this machine become my daily driver at the shop??

Nice looking setup. I see you are using a mask, I have never done that, is that for the vapours?

hi PVR...... when polishing theirs a lot heap of dust thrown in the air, in that dust is spent clear coat, polish etc... when you blow out a pad with a compressor and see the crap that comes out, correcting paint with a mask on is very sensible, maybe not so important fof the weekend warrior but doing this day in day out for detailing / PPF works or in the wrap jobs the chemicals used to clean the car it seemed like a good idea. even more so after i nearly met the maker 16 months ago :evil: :evil: :evil:

Yes, I see your point. My glasses are indeed rather foggy after a session. Will think about that next time.
