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

What can I say, made in China! I bought this because I like good tools and this had good reviews. Its a great tool, heavy enough and great ergonomics without the need to attach the handle. The speed control is the problem why my brand new tool quit. I am polishing a brand new paint job that has been color wet sanded with 1500 grit and buffed to a shine. I wanted the ultimate gloss so purchased the polisher and got through the trunk lid and was starting a quarter panel when the tool just stopped. Checked power and plugs and then discovered that the tool only ran set at full speed of #6 and I was only using #1, which did seem faster than it should be. Im taking a chance and getting the same tool again, it seems really good and hoping the speed wheel malfunction is a fluke. I have random orbit wood sanders with literally 30 years of service on them, dont understand why modern tools just dont hold up.

This is a very nice polisher especially for the price. Its great for someone who is just starting out using polishers as it has an 8mm throw which can be easier to use. The pad is 5 inches which is a great all around size for vehicles. I really like the platypus handle design as it does make holding the unit more comfortable. The unit comes with a case to store the extras like the optional handle, etc. Youll want to get some pads for it as it doesnt come with any. A general use orange pad and a finer pad should be all that you need to start getting great results. It has 6 speeds to choose from and lets you choose in 1/2 step increments. Ive used it to polish as well as apply and spread a sealant and so far its been great. Its the perfect polisher for the DIYer while also being able to handle more professional work if needed. Ive used MaxShine polishers in the past and have had nothing but good luck with them. Im sure Ill have the same with this polisher.

Im really impressed with this dual action polisher because my results look professional even though this is only my third time ever working on my own car paint

Wow, this Max shine polisher is definitely better than my previous one. The motor and handling for this polisher is excellent. It’s very ergonomic but it is on the heavier side. The construction is very robust and I have no doubt it will outlast the cars/SUVs I will own. The kit doesn’t come with any pads so plan to purchase some. With my older polishers, I’ve had to install Velcro in order to use different cutting and polishing pads but the MaxShine come with a disk that lets my current pads stick like glue. It seriously takes some effort to take them off which gives confidence that they won’t fly off when in use. Although it’s designed to be used with smaller pads, as you can see from the photos, I can easily use a 6in pad with no issues. The motor is strong and isn’t loud which is a plus. The only con is that it’s gets heavy while using it for a long period of time so if your working on an SUV or larger vehicle, I would advise to put on the included handle for extra support. Overall, this is great for any level of detailer. It’s a noticeable step up in its price category and I would definitely recommend.

Never used a buffer before. Easy to work and understand. A little heavy.

Works ver good

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.

Ergonomic, easy to use. Nice handles. Not too large that it gets away from you. 6” polishing pad but still very easy to manage and handle. Robust, powerful, but nice to use and very effective.

I normally use a 15mm throw dual action but this works just as well as a backup for me. Its very good for beginners and with the right pad and polish, gives very good results.

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!!
