Great Mac!! Nice shots and amazing review. Loved it.
WOW! Outstanding in-depth review!
Wow just a great review. Thank for taking the time to insert the pictures , video, tips and opinions.
Really valuable.
Very good review ! Thank You so much for it !
Marc I have used this writeup several times for my own reference.
You absolutely killed it.
I blabbed on with numerous posts when I first got my nano.
Once I read yours I`ll have to admit I was thinking, now that`s what I meant to do, lol.
I`m thinking about using the brushes inside my car today.
I recently got the soft nylon one that they are now selling.
I`m not really sure where I would use it as opposed to The Boar`s hair brush but of course it was available so I had to buy itThank you so much Brandt! Means a lot man!
I`m curious how you like the soft nylon brushes - been eyeing on those for a while now.
Great review. I just got mine today. I went with the long neck. I`m debating on selling my PE8. If I were a pro the extra power may come in handy to save some time. But being a hobbyists I`m really never in that big a hurry. Then considering my severe back problems while the PE8 isn`t hard to control by any means the little added force to control it can make a difference.
I`m curious, do you have a PE8 and if so are you going to keep it or get rid of it?? Kind of sucks buying all the backing plates and pads and if I sell it only get pennies on the dollar. I think I have all of 4 hours on the machine lol
I may be interested in buying your PE8... not immediately but I am considering one for some work is just slightly more than the nano.
I ended up with the long neck too, but kinda felt that I should have stuck with my word and got the short neck, the distance of the trigger to polishing head is very odd, but i friggen love it, and if i want the short neck, ill buy a second one!
It`s only money! lol Just let me know if your interested. I`m curious what work the ibird won`t handle, or is just a matter of wanting to get the work done faster? I went back and first on the long or short. One guy told me I should get the short one, but when I asked him why he never responded.
In my experience i just need some rotary action with 2 and 3 in pad with legit speed control. Even the 1in pad slings on the nano if not careful.
Obviously I`ll have to use the ibird first and see what kind of power it has. The 2" pads are better about sling, but not a lot.
Yeah, the nano spins too fast for the 2in pad. really. the sling when I do the hood reaches the rear bumper. its the only reason why I am considering the PE8 for some more speed control. the random orbital long throw is great for final polishing after a repair.
The PE8 is not ideal for speed control. It has no soft start or trigger throttle. The PE-14 is mean`t for precision polishing and the size difference between the two isn`t much.
I get sling with the Rupes blue pads all the time. I`ve just about quit using them. I`m waiting for LC`s new 2 inch microfiber pads to be released or CarPro`s new 2 inch pads to be sold by Autopia.
HMM!!!!
a new contender has arrived, time to look into the PE14 lol
But I thought the PE8, while has a on off button, can start at a very low rpm... was I misunderstanding something? unlike Nano`s 300000000zillion rpm at speed 1... lol
The nano is rough with that, I`m doing a specialized job right now and have this exact problem. The nano spins up too fast and doesn`t have the muscle to cut chrome.
The PE14 has the slowest start besides a Festool, the PE8 is pretty bad with a starting speed of 1k+ where as the 14 starts at 600 and it starts even slower with a pressure trigger. The PE14 is the best precision rotary on the market.
