Can anyone recommend a good hand help battery operated polisher? I've recently moved downtown in a major city and have no room to complete a traditional detail with my porter cable. I'm just looking for something to use for spot detailing of scratches and such. I've seen a lot online but not sure which ones are worth the money if any of them at all.

The Rupes Big Foot iBrid Nano Kit is going to be your best bet.

They were announced at SEMA 2015, but just hit the market not too long ago.

Wow, this is like double the price I paid for my porter cable and probably a little overkill for my needs. Are there any other reputable options out there?

If you want a full sized polisher that runs on batteries, you're out of luck as far as I know.

The only machine I know of is the Rupes nano that only does 1" and 2" pads. It is pricey, but the kit comes with a TON of stuff.

RBI Detailing just came out with a battery operated DA polisher: https://rbldetail.com/cordless-buffer

Search around and you'll find slightly lower prices.

If you fancy a rotary, Milwaukee has the M18 Fuel polisher: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-...rdless/2738-20

I might end up with this one since I already have Milwaukee batteries.

This one from Mequiars attaches to your cordless drill and is only $39.88 but you need a cordless drill...
