What polisher do you all use?

I’ve somehow ended up with 3 shiny aluminium frames in my collection
Polishing them by hand although mildly therapeutic, it’s also mind numbingly boring

What cordless polishers do you all use?

I use the FLEX 10,8V battery powered. Super happy with that.

Detail (ie 2-inch) polishers are expensive, aren't they? Just yesterday found a good deal on a Ryobi combination sander/polisher, factory refurb. Haven't tried it out yet but I imagine it'll work better than my hand drill. Worth keeping any eye out for if you want to save some money

If you have an air compressor, then polishers are pretty cheap vs. battery/electric...

I have a bunch of Ryobi tools
Is this the one you mean?
It looks huge?

Great tool to have, but an expensive initial outlay...

That is an eccentric surface sander and the complete wrong machine for a metal polishing purpose.

I've used a cheapo drop-ship car polisher that I bought on Amazon... it's rechargeable and has done a great job on my Zaskar, American and Strike...Not sure I'd use on my car... but then I've never polished my car, ever... and don't think I ever will
