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

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.

Works ver good

Very nice product

It’s amazing tool to fix little scratches and work I small areas at a time. Great handling.

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.

Great tool, for the price it does exactly what the more expensive ones do. Will it stand the test of time? It seems like it, but only time will tell. So far, very impressed with it and would recommend to any DIY enthusiasts.

This dual action polisher is the same in every way to some models at my local auto store but a fraction of the cost. I have used this to polish a car and bring shine back to my RV fiberglass sides. It feels solid but it is light enough to not wear you down after using. The center portion of the polisher can get quite hot so make sure you hold the grip areas at the top and bottom of the polisher. I have had a few larger polishers and they all get hot to the touch so the temperature during operation doesnt concern me.
