Dual Action Polisher for Car Detailing - MaxShine M8S V2 - Dual Action Polisher with 1000W Motor - 8mm Throw DA Polisher - 5-inch Backing Plate Orbital Polisher - Buffer Polisher for Car Detailing

This is a good value for the set, the capabilities, features and buffer/waxing functions based on the sellers description. I have not used it yet and will update my review after its use.

I own 3 cars, 2 of them being on the older end that badly needed some headlight polish love, this took care of it in less than 10 minutes per car. Absolutely astounding and easy to use (this is my first polish tool ever, btw) - I took some counsel from professionals in the area and after seeing the tool I’m using, they started asking many questions and were impressed by its quality. I ended up polishing a few spots on my oldest vehicle (a tiny Red Honda) and thus treated it quite well! I workout out quite a lot and I don’t feel the weight of this polishing tool, but I could definitely see it being hard to use for long periods of time.

Very nice product

Ill be honest, this is my first DA polisher, but probably will be the only one for a long time. Ive seen the MaxShine M8S pop up a lot from DIY detailers Ive talked to as one of the go-to budget DA polishers, but there were a few issues with the v1 that I wasnt quite comfortable with maintaining. I got to use the v1 but I didnt feel like it was for me. Then I saw the v2 pop up in my offers list, and I was like whoa, that looks quite different, and improved. And it is. Ive become a little more adventurous with my vehicles, namely going outdoors, onto the trails, and exposing them to the dangers of rocks and trees and the like. Inevitably, my cars have suffered a fair amount of paint defects. I used to treat small scratches on the daily driver by hand, using a car sponge, polisher, scratch fixer, wax, etc. you name it. But when your car gets a case of trail rash or splatters of mud and bits of rock across full panels of your car, doing it by hand just doesnt cut it anymore. Thats all changed since Ive gotten the MaxShine M8S V2. As a DA polisher, its not forced, and it provides a decent 8mm orbit. Yes, theres the larger 15mm orbit on the M15 pro model, but that covers a lot of space and Im not that experienced yet at controlling this thing. That said, the 8mm throw is fairly easy to manage, still covers a good amount of space, and provides some versatility around the tighter corners. Thats coming from a beginner and a first-time user. Im currently using Meguiar pads with 3D products and Im achieving results I would have never been able to by hand. Im not worried about burning my paint because the MaxShine is DA and not forced rotation. As a beginner getting into detailing with tools, I feel the MaxShine M8S V2 is a fantastic beginners tool and should last me for a very long time. Maintenance seems easy enough with easy access to the carbon brushes and Maxshine includes an extra set too. I just wish the speed dial wasnt on the bottom but on the top instead.

I have been really pleased with this MaxShine polisher. It appears to be very well made, has quality feel to it, and is well balanced in your hand. It is heavy enough to apply light pressure under its own weight without being tempted to press the polisher into the surface but not so heavy as to become tiring to use over long periods of time. It comes with a detachable handle, but I tend leave it off as I have found it comfortable to use this polisher at any required angle without it. I have been using this polisher to apply sealants and waxes, but it has enough power to do light paint correction tasks too (although it is a bit too small for heavy paint correction). Overall, this is great, beginner friendly DA polisher that can also serve a seasoned car detailer/pro. I recommend it.

This thing is great!! It is quite powerful, so if you don’t know what you’re doing, just be careful with the speed setting you select!!! Start slow and work your way up. If you start too high, you can easily damage your clear coat/gel coat. It has 6 speed settings, but there’s more than just that as you can select between any two speeds, it’s closer to 18 different speeds. It has great ergonomics…I really like the grip at the top. Very easy to use, once you know what you’re doing. Highly recommended…and it’s at a great price point!!

This polisher works great! This can be used not only for your car, but also boat. It’s powerful enough to do it’s job. Strong and sturdy. It can get a little heavy after awhile, but that’s to be expected. It gives professional results at a lower cost.

I have five cars - and theyre mostly over 10 years old - so, along with the age comes some oxidation of the paint, just general weathering. So, Im watching a bunch of videos on how to restore the look and this is the solution that most of those experts gave - so I bit, got this MaxShine and Ive been very pleased. Even took away the oxidation on an old head light. Wish I had some before and after pictures to share, but get this, get a good set of polisher sponges (make sure they are the right size) and some polish - and go for it. Polished up some plastic chairs, too. Polisher is easy to use - attach the right grit sponge pad - and go for it!

Easy to use and does a great job.Use it on my car occasionally to polish after cleaning.It’s easy to handle for my husband where I think it’s a bit heavy.But I guess that’s what they usually weight.You have to purchase the pads separately but that’s no big deal.Good polisher for your car cleaning projects

This is my first experience working with one of these polishers but it wasnt difficult to figure out and it made my older model car shine like new. My only issue is with how hot it got. It cut out and stopped working a few times, I presume from the heat, since it did start working again after it cooled down. I got burned from touching a hot spot, too, so Id definitely recommend using caution when using it. Also youll want to be careful where you put it when its hot like that. Dont place it on or near anything flammable.
