Mini & Nano Polishers

Mini and nano polishers reach the parts of a car a full-size machine cannot: A-pillars, mirror caps, bumper recesses, badges and the edges around lamps. The range covers 3 inch minis such as the dual action ShineMate EX603 and the cordless ShineMate EB350-3/12, and small rotary kits such as the ShineMate EP803 and the 12V SGCB mini rotary.

How to choose

  • Mini or nano: a mini, usually 3 inch, works pillars, mirrors and bumper sections, while a nano takes 1 to 2 inch plates for badges, grilles and door handle recesses.
  • Cordless models such as the ShineMate EB350-3/12 and SGCB 12V have no cable to catch around mirrors and door shuts.

Good to know

  • A 3 inch plate takes a pad a little larger than itself, such as the 3.5 inch pads in Polishing Pads.
  • Small pads heat up and clog quickly, so keep spares and clean them often with a product from Pad Cleaning.
  • Use the same compound or polish in tight areas as on the rest of the panel so the finish matches.

What is the difference between a mini and a nano polisher?

Size and reach. A mini polisher usually runs a 3 inch backing plate and suits pillars, mirror caps and bumper sections. A nano polisher takes 1 to 2 inch plates for badges, grilles, door handle recesses and the edges around lamps. Both work alongside a full-size machine rather than replacing it. Our DA polisher guide covers the main machine.
