How to Remove Scratches Fast - Milwaukee M12 Cordless Polisher/Sander Review - Part I

  • mpgomatic.com puts a Milwaukee Tools M12 cordless polisher ( amzn.to/2aiXD87 ) to the test on three vehicles: a black Mazda3, a white Honda S2000, and a green Ford Explorer.
    We used Turtle Wax polishing compound on the black and white cars to remove scratches and Mother's plastic polish on the Explorer's headlights for a quick touch up.
    The Milwaukee Tools M12 cordless polisher/sander has two variable speed settings: low for polishing, high for sanding. This test focused exclusively on polishing. (We'll do a sanding test down the road, when we have a paint project in house.) It's a rotary polisher, so you want to come back with a random orbit buffer once the scratches are removed to remove any swirl marks that may have been introduced.

    Great review. Going to grab myself one but I agree with everyone else. Cut down on the amount of product used and you will reduce the slinging. Put a few dabs on your pad and blot it on your work area. Less is more brother. Keep up the good work.

    thanks for the review of this Milwaukee mini cordless polisher, 1 suggestion like previous comment you'll want to dab the pad all around the area you wish to polish, so you will have less sling, and use 3 dabs about dime size on a small pad like that to get you started it will remove those swirls and scratches, you just add a dab to the pad if you need more.

      That depends on which tech the polish/compound usesYou have SMAT and DAT.Dat You need to work longer to break down aka Diminishing Abrasive TechSmat doesn't break down, you can work it as lil or as long as you want or until residue dries lol

  • @davidsparling3505

    Liked the content and your no-nonsense approach. I own a full sized Porter Cable 7424 DA polisher but like the idea of a compact cordless for smaller areas and touch-ups. I would suggest trying Meguiars Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish for your paint defect removal. They are IMO the best consumer products available for that purpose. You might also consider purchasing the 3" cutting, polishing and waxing pads Meguiars sells for their drill mounted Dual Action Power System.
    Thanks for the review. I'm gonna check it out.

    You mention not charging a hot battery. I have cordless tools where the battery chargers have cooling fans. I put a deposit on the milwaukii 12 volt. Do you mean to say the charger doesn't have a cooling fan? I't trying to get the metallic build up of shower screen glass doors. I have tried all types of chemicals and vinegar etc. I even used a razor blade and still have more left to remove. I have seen people use a rotary sander with special glass compound for this purpose. Seems like a good idea. Im wondering what type of pad will be the best without scratching. I also bought 4 zero steel wool. Great video.

    So does the compound cover the first layer scratches? Or does it remove them completely? Isn't the first layer coating supposed to protect the paint? I have hairline scratches on my car and I fear that using any polisher would thin the first coating.

    Everyone thinks this is only good for door jam and head lights. but do not know that a 3" polisher is quicker than the big machines. because it cuts faster and you get a better result. 3" is better with a da polisher to. because there is less stall with a small machine.

      It's good for the small stuff. For swirl removal, I'd reckon you'll want to use a random orbital. Polishing RPM: 0-2,800 RPM. Sanding RPM 0-8,300 RPM. We're in the midst of testing the large Milwaukee cordless polisher now. Video coming soon …

    You're spraying shit EVERYWHERE and increasing your workload because you're using WAY to much compound. Biggest rule in paint correcting and detailing, LESS IS MORE!! Never put one huge glob in center of pad. Always put 3 or 4 pea size dabs on outer perimeter of pad. Then dab the pad on the panel with no spin to put product throughout the panel. Always start on VERY low speed to spread product evenly, then increase the speed.

      Depends on the battery. The high output batteries are what you're looking for because the rest will overheat due to continuous use. The 2.5 will get most all your spot buffing done on a single charge, I've seen a 5.0 but never used one.
