What is the difference between the three modes?

Rotary spins the pad on a fixed axis for the most cutting power. The 1mm and 3mm DA modes orbit the pad slightly for safer, smoother finishing, with the 3mm throw giving a wider orbit and a bit more correction.

What pads does it take?

It comes with 1-inch and 2-inch backing plates, so it takes pads in those sizes. The kit includes fourteen foam and wool pads in both sizes.

Can it replace a full-size polisher?

No. It is built for intricate parts and hard-to-reach areas. Large flat panels are faster with a full-size DA or rotary polisher.

How long does a battery last?

Runtime depends on mode and pressure. Rotary mode draws the most, and small packs run down faster under heavy use, which is why two batteries are included.

Two battery packs, a charger, 1-inch and 2-inch backing plates, fourteen foam and wool pads, two extensions and a carrying case.

Is it good for beginners?

The DA modes are forgiving, but rotary mode on a small pad can burn edges quickly. Practice on a scrap panel before working on paint.

Our take on the Optimum Cordless Mini DA/Rotary Polisher CMP001

The Optimum CMP001 is a cordless mini polisher for paint correction in tight spots: wheel faces, pillars, grilles, motorcycle panels and other areas a full-size polisher cannot reach. It switches between rotary, 1mm-throw dual-action and 3mm-throw dual-action modes, so one tool covers heavy cutting and finishing. The kit is unusually complete for a mini polisher, with two batteries, a charger, 1-inch and 2-inch backing plates, two extensions and fourteen foam and wool pads in a case. Against corded mini polishers it trades unlimited runtime for freedom from a cord; against single-mode mini DA tools it adds rotary cutting but asks more skill from the user.
