Worked for me. I used Meguiars 105 compound and removed all the scratches and swirls from my car.
Thanks Tim for the video. I will keep waiting for that Dewalt on black Friday, perhaps has a sale
Milwaukee really needs a dual action
Nah they skipped the bullshit and went straight to rotary !!!!
They have one now, 2 in fact 15 and 21.
Simply Amazing
Would of been good to see you use all application pads and then review on cutting and polishing.
With my Ryobi I like orange or blue pads for polishing. Black pads for finish.
Not a work horse but a good machine for light polishing and finishing. Battery endurance is good with 4Ah, 6 would be awesome but 1 pound heavier .
Did it stop rotating at the lower speed settings for you?
@@billbuss7542 all speeds… it doesn’t maintain speed under load
Thanks for the review and pro info segment. It's a little expensive for my taste especially with it not having all the features. Keep up the great work your content is excellent.
It's very cheap compared to like the real buffers like rupe's and flax because it doesn't have the potential that these polishers have it's made for beginners and people who don't want to burn their pain I don't think it's in the professional category
Is the regular 6in Ryobi polisher not dual action? Or is the main difference that you can control speed on this one?
How hot did it get were the d handle goes. We're the exposed aluminum is?
How would this be for polishing Aluminum Truck bumpers ?
Anybody have any idea how does this compare to the SPTA cordless polisher? Been wanting one but not sure which one to pull the trigger on. If price was very similar and both had the same pkg with two batteries and charger, which would be the best option? Not a pro, more of an enthusiast/hobbyist and want to take care of my cars. Looking to do just a paint enhancement and *maybe* a light paint correction. All feedback/opinions welcome, thanks!
there’s three pads that comes with it doesn’t each pad do different …cutting,polishing with the speed u need it for
Paint Correction.... does that mean the compound lightly abrades the surface so the minor marks and scratches are filled-in with the residue?
Anything battery powered is never going to perform as well as something plugged into the mains supply. Realistically, it only performs at its optimal best for a couple of minutes.... if that. The batteries begin to drain the second it is turned on.
I just bought one for $169 at home depot. It is still pretty expensive for what it is. I will be using my milwaukee batteries with it. I won"t use my M18 rotary polisher for any paint correction but i thought this would be a good finishing touch for some applications. Being able to use my M18 batteries was the main reason i decided to try this. I researched other cordless polishers but i didn't want to invest in a different battery system since i have a couple Ryobi tools and two battery adapters. Too bad they didn't use a brushless motor because it would have had more power.
Wait.. so you can use M18 batteries with this polisher?
@@kevin_ramirez2529 Just search for a Milwaukee to Ryobi tool battery adapter. You can get them for less than $20.
@@pongagt interesting, I’ll look into it.
Can I use this polisher on stone, granite ???
Where did you get this professionals? The second one did not even impregnated the pad
I've been using mine 3 or 4 times a week for 5 months. No , it's not suitable for correction. I only use it for wax / one step . Rather go with my electric for correction. Also being mobile it's a big help . Manly I use it on motorcycles where typically no correction is needed . Having over 20 batteries and a couple superchargers dont hurt either .
If u only use it for polish /wax why spend $200 and not get the $40 buffer? Just curious
@@joshymcdaniel9233 well for 1 steps or or polishing its different than a typical orbital being that you can change pads . It probably has enough to correct but I perfer an electric. Doesn't stall . It will remove light scratches and swirls where a regular say , 10 in orbital is mostly for wax applications.
@@derrickabare9986 seems legit yah if it was $99 I would add it to the collection but 200+ is a bit steep when u can get a corded “decent one” for 100$ if you’re a detailer obviously you’d buy a 200-300$ one but a weekender doing it 2x a year 200$ is hard to justify feel’
@@joshymcdaniel9233 absolutely right there . For me I'm way deep in the ryobi brand and have like 20 batteries. I'm also mobile so it comes in really handy depending on what I'm doing. But like you said if I was only looking at a handful of times a yr using it I wouldn't recommend it .
@@joshymcdaniel9233 your kidding right? 40 dollar polisher?? Won't do anything!!
I’m undecided with the ryobi or the kobalt the kobalt is $129 and have over 8 batteries and the ryobi is more expensive but I have over 80 batteries can you compare the kobalt one to this ryobi thanks love your videos
I went with kobalt polisher
@DanielGomez-cf6vk does it remove light scratches?
it only stops rotating when you put pressure on it a professional detailer never put pressure on it let the machine do the work so you cannot be too professional if that's what you think go back to buffing school
Good review. I think a price closer to a hundred bucks would be more appropriate. $199 is too much.
Don’t be cheap
Yes $100. especially since it’s not brushless tool
@@rickyn1320 id like to know where you can find a cordless polisher for $100 that isn’t a micro polisher. Like I said, don’t be cheap
Got mine with a charger and 4ah battery for 199.00 yesterday
@@BrownRooster lowes brushless 24v polisher $86 on buy.more save.more
This was a bit of an odd one... The EU version of this, R18P, costs a "mere" ~120-130eur as a bare tool. Our version doesn't have that big detachable handle, but otherwise identical.. This must be the first time a tool is significantly cheaper here than in the states. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but your 199USD price doesn't even include the tax? Which ours of course do...
It’s only $180 is Australia too… approx. $130usd

Currently £104.99 in the UK with no battery or charger
@@deanopie4390 They(Bunnings? Ryobi?) jacked it up to $220 AUD at the end of 2023 while we weren't looking!!
where can i get that?
I use Milwaukee at work but I bought Ryobi for home as I didn’t want to pay Milwaukee price, and I am impressed. I’m a big big fan of this polisher.
That's awesome that it's working well for you. Thanks for watching.
Do the Kobalt 24v DA from Lowe’s!
They did the Kobalt video last month
Been done.
$199 for this vs $129 for the Kobalt. I’d love to see you review the Kobalt and compare the two!
he already reviewed the kobalt
This one is dual action. The kobalt isn’t. Theirs your price difference right there.
I went with kobalts as well cheaper and 5 year warranty over 3 year
@@DanielGomez-cf6vk Ryobi comes with 6 years replacement warranty
If you're a pro, move on, ditto for those that need batteries and chargers. This is a great ergonomic DA, but does it go through batteries! Like another demo said, it's smooth and hardly any vibration, but that's with the smaller battery. Great DA for those that have Ryobi batteries (I have a few), and only use once or twice a year. For those that use a DA frequently, get a Flex.
A simple brushless upgrade would improve the performance of this polisher and increase battery life. Why are they sleeping on such a much needed upgrade?
of course it wont paint correct if your not using the correct pad and compound..............................................................
Just because you use "the right" pad and product combo doesn't always mean a machine is capable of correction. Crunchy peanut butter on a polishing pad can also "correct" paint......................
@@chase_lucas2855 you can't deny it would help a bit
@@frozenwalkway crunchy peanut butter? Lol, all joking aside of course a compound and a cutting pad would definitely help but what is the point in that when I can grab a much more powerful tool and use a softer pad and light polish to cut my work time in half.
@@chase_lucas2855 sure I'm not saying this is a pro tool for all day correcting. But for a home gamer this could be all I have and saying it's useless for correcting is just incorrect.
@@frozenwalkway understand that also and I'm not sure we called it "useless" just not the best for our situation and that is what we based it off of, definitely a DIY polisher 👍
I did not see it stolling if there is the orbital movement it is still rotating. Did not see that to happen
I would imagine that battery location is eerily inconvenient when polishing cars.
My buddy is a professional car detailer for 20 years. He exclusively uses RANDOM ORBITAL polishers. It keeps novices from making mistakes. superior results. He swears by Bosch.
@@joshm2243 definitely not impossible but much safer for weekend warriors.
@@joshm2243 on what setting, which what pad and product. All that matters
Rupes polisher is a excellent brand if u want one that is corded
I use a Flex almost every day, very nice machine.Tried a Dewalt random and was very disappointed , likely won't ever buy Dewalt again. May try this just to see how it performs.
why this is not sold in canada-_-
I'm not sure. Thanks for watching.
It is …..
Guy doing the demo wearing a watch makes me nervous.
Funny, I did a polishing video and I had the same comment: “dude, take off that watch!” Rookie mistake. 😹
Without any idea how much pressure you're putting on the polisher, it's hard to say if it's easily stalled or not--as it's ergonomically designed, it's probably not meant tobe pressed on heavily: If you're trying to stall it, that info isn't helpful.
U get what u pay for!! This is definitely just a wax spreader!!!
Please compare to flex and Rupe's. It looks like it is not compared to these professional polishes or I mean polishers
It's Ryobi. By very definition its a DIY'er tool. Not sure why anyone would question or critique it based on prosumer or small business use. PS - It's $129 on sale for the tool-only kit with a set of additional finishing pads. Which I think is a fair price if you're already in the Ryobi ecosystem for your screw guns, impact driver, hedge trimmer, etc.
Yep I just picked up that deal after grabbing the 3 battery set and a1/2 inch driver for free
You can use milwaukee batteries
What kind, the old ni cad, or are you referring to an adapter?
Yes an adapter

If you're doing much work at once or working on awkward positions slide lock is always way better bar none. If you're doing a very small piece of work and keeping standard non awkward positions then only then is a trigger better. I'd never want to even think about holding a trigger for an entire big job. Not sure why you'd want a trigger unless it's only being used for the little test video. Now a trigger that also locks? Yeah that would be the best of both worlds.
On a polisher, our preference is a trigger WITH a lock as well. You are correct, nobody wants to be holding a trigger for an hour straight. Thanks for watching.
Definitely Diy tool!!! To much stalling. Stay with professional German flex tools!!! 👊 🇨🇦
This polisher doesn't work at all. It will stall under its own weight. You're better off using a drill disk.
Thumb down for wearing a watch
Why are you shouting at me? We have just met..
I’m having flex withdrawals....
Why are you yelling?
Skip the cordless, get a Griot's G9.
We reviewed the G9, and it won our 23-polisher shootout. Thanks for watching.
Not much good if you don't have power near your car
in other words.. it sucks!
You guys want a real machine get the dewalt cordless with 2 5 amp batteries
How does this compare to the DIY price on this machine that someone will use 3 maybe 4 times a year 🤔
Tim Johnson go back to school learn you are not professional
