The Grasshopper 2.0

Don’t be fooled by the Grasshopper’s diminutive size. This little polisher is a true workhorse and is absolutely made for paint correction and removing swirls.

 

The Grasshopper 2.0 completes our range of Dual Action Random Orbital polishers and is an absolutely essential bit of kit for any detailer.

With its 12mm orbit and 3” backing pad, the Grasshopper gets into the tight areas where the larger dual action polishers simply cannot get to. Think door jams, sills, tricky lips and lids.

Boasting a new rubberised grip, increased ventilation ports for improved heat dissipation and NSK bearings all round, the Grasshopper 2.0 was made for excellent ergonomics over prolonged use.

Combine this with a set of our German Foam 3” pads to tackle any job at hand.

    Buff

    Works well, it would be nice to have a Velcro strap on it for the really long lead, otherwise great

    Apex Customs Grasshopper v3

    I finally took the plunge and bought an Apex Customs Grasshopper V3, I didn't realise it was going to be this good, having come from a Rupes LHR 75 mini polisher ( used to have two and I sold both)this Polisher is light years ahead of the Rupes.

    For starters the ergonomics are much better with a lot of rubber inserts to reduce vibration , it's very smooth and very powerful! 750 watt motor you can definitely feel it . It's very quiet and extremely balanced very hard to stall except in the most awkward shape of a car. Once you master it , it will not stall. Highly recommended! The guys at Apex Customs have put a lot of thought into the engineering and design. Would I buy one absolutely without hesitation. I did!
