RUPES iBrid Nano Kit | Is it worth it? 

Yes, it's worth it and fun to use! Right tool right job! Nylon brushes are useful in cupholder areas. Nano can be used on other things around the house too.

Looks very organized with the hard case.

Looking forward to using mine

Oh I can tell you right now how many times I would have used that little DA Nano Kit this last week alone and it would have saved me quite a bit of time. With areas like that I have to do it by hand or get my drill out with the tiny pad I've cut down. I'll for sure have to look into the RUPES.

Thanks as always Todd!

Thank you so much 🙏

I couldn't do without this machine. The box and cord went to garbage though. You can work non stop with two batteries, one on the tool, one charging.

I find the dual action ability to be extremely weak requiring max speed and sometime *less* than the weight of itself on even the flatest of surfaces just to get that spin that does the most amount of cutting/polishing. The rotary, however, has as much power as you'd expect and does a better job of cutting/polishing, but it still has that learning curve. If you're not accustomed to the rotary, using it on the Nano, you'll probably be slinging a lot of product. I have had the unit overheat on me once using a fresh battery after just a couple of passes...I'm not quite sure what the deal was.

I personally think a mk2 is due. I want to purchase an ibrid nano, but im afraid of a revision soon that will be better so i might wait a bit and see what 2024 brings.

Very nice and compact. I like it 👍

How do I go about purchasing replacement batteries?

Can you compound more if in rotary mode? Darn, I boughr it to do the mirrors/pillars and thight areas in my car. Now I have a 5" and a nano, should I buy the 3"?

Can you do a video about trim and badges? Since they must be taped to polish what do you do about them?

i do ,what we all was doing the past decates to polish narrow panels and details, i have a pneumatic air eccentrik polisher, witch have 1,2,3 inches pads and never stalls, why to envest on nano iBrid?

Question. I own a 2020 BMW with that "piano black" interior trim, around the gear lever and idrive controller. Surface scratches are present. Can you polish those off? If so, what polish would you recommend, the correct polishing pads? Also, if removed, what would you recommend to to protect the area? A paint sealant or other? Thanks, Paul

What speed do you use for polishing with the ibrid

Nice machine. Quick question; I see that Esoteric doesn’t carry either the yellow or blue wool pads in the 45mm size. Why is that? Did you test and the wool pads just don’t work will with the Nano? Or something else?

Love the hard case but just cannot justify their price when there are many similar machines on the market now for less than half the price. Yes, you might not have the same level of build quality, but for the amount of use it truly gets, it's a no brainer frankly.

Surprised they haven't upgraded their with other manufactures bringing out more powerful mini polishers.

i wonder why Jason Rose from Rupes USA never makes guest appearance on Esoteric channel, like he does on other detailing channels...

This won't cut on older Mercedes that have hard paint. It's insane how hard the paint is on a 2005 Mercedes slk

Same tool. 😔 I'm not a brand fanboy at all but in my honest opinion Flex kind of obsoleted the Nano instantly with the PXE80. It does everything a micro (Nano, etc.) does, as well as a mini (3") polisher, with more than enough power to correct with all the way up to 3" plates. The Nano needs a revision and/or Rupes needs a more powerful cordless option. ✌

Stil will take my PXE 80 from flex over the nano wish they would use the hard case that everyone gets over seas that’s one thing I want is a nice hard case like this one for my PXE 80
