Milwaukee Fuel Polisher, 180mm, 18V Cordless Polisher for Vehicle Detailing

Key specs include: 18V cordless motor, 180 mm (7 inch) polishing pad, bare tool (no battery/charger included), compact design for maneuverability, and intended for automotive detailing tasks.

Bare tool means the polisher is sold without a battery, charger, or case. You’ll need to supply your own Milwaukee M18 battery and charger to power and use it.

It's well-suited for automotive paint polishing, swirl removal, light to moderate defect correction, and finishing passes to achieve a smooth, glossy surface on vehicles.

1) Attach a compatible 180 mm backing plate and pad. 2) Insert a charged M18 battery. 3) Apply a small amount of polish to the pad or directly to the panel. 4) Start at a low speed, test on a small area, and use overlapping passes with light, even pressure. 5) Wipe clean and inspect the paint; switch pads or compounds as needed. 6) Clean the pad and backing plate after use and store in a dry place.

Wear eye protection and gloves, tie back loose hair or clothing, use hearing protection if needed, work in a well-ventilated area, and keep the tool moving to avoid heat buildup. Always start with a low speed to test the area and avoid applying excessive pressure.

Regularly clean the backing plate and pad, inspect for pad wear or damage, replace worn pads, and store the tool in a dry area. Ensure the vents are clear and the battery is removed before any pad changes.

Use a 180 mm backing plate matched to 180 mm pads. For finish work, start with a soft foam finishing pad; for more aggressive correction, pair with a medium or cutting pad as appropriate. Always ensure the pad and backing plate are rated for 180 mm to achieve balanced performance.
