I posted on AG how I noticed my EGO blower batteries blinking occasionally when not in use and off the machine, and how the customer service guy explained that is the battery "exercising" itself while stored to keep from losing its chops over time If true then that is pretty smart technology

eBay has it but from $25 to $30 more than HF or Amazon and they might ship it but my light is fine for now I had to buy my SPTA polisher in Hawaii off of an eBay seller because no one else would ship it I’m surprised I was able to get my Shinemate battery polisher sent here, except it came...

I would have bought one a long time ago except they won't ship to Alaska because of the Li-Ion batteries Amazon used to carry that model as well but they don't ship Li-Ion tech to Alaska either Guess I am back to detailing my igloo with rocks and kerosene torches

The one thing that the ibrid had that these other battery operated machines are missing is an AC adapter so you can run corded if you need to The Shinemate is not a "cheap" machine by any means, either in quality or price The SPTA battery machines are good quality machines as well and I am...

As chance may have it I have an order of 1" SPTA pads on the way as well Since Carzilla started charging me for shipping a few months back I haven't ordered anything from them and Parkscarcare won't ship to Alaska AT ALL and they are the only other Shinemate dealer I can find in North America...

I was reporting those posts for SPAM and gave up because I simply couldn't keep up Had to be a spam bot I have never seen anything like that, that could pump out that volume that fast The system has been down again for quite a while and I wonder if it was simply overwhelmed

I have been very happy with the Shinemate mini polisher system I got

I had the earlier version in Hawaii Once Jim White of White Details started using the Carbon Collective version he totally quit using his Ibrid I was quite pleased with mine and would have bought another here in Alaska but I couldn't get anyone to ship it up here because of the Li-Ion batteries

FWIW I was able to log into AG using my existing user name and password and it has my stats and personal info intact
