I just got mine today and paired with their AIO, and AIO orange pad.. wow! This machine performed better than my g9 griots polisher. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@chrisginoc So far so good but I'm only a light user. I had three areas on my 2000 Porsche with minor clear coat issues and it cleaned them up with a mild compound and polish. It paid for itself over having a pro do it and made me feel good too.
@@chrisginoc They are probably the same, same guts. Wattage is the same and the throw is 8 or 9mm. They are both brushed motors. MaxShine isn't too far from me so I figured I could go there if I had a problem. It makes easy work of polishing headlights too, just a few min.
@@DSC800 Good point. I'm in Orange County and realized MaxShine is in Brea. I found a newly opened box G9 at $130 nearby and the Maxshine M8s costs about $80-$90.
This version has mor amps, starts up smoother and love the fact that it comes ru-vid.comUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 with two types of handles(both scratchproof) and a Velcro 7 inch disk. My boat and cars look like new again ! Love Dewalt tools because they seem to last a while and AMAZON for the great prices ! Update 07/14/2021I still have and use this polisher very often on my boat, truck and cars but recently I refurbished some stained, dull kitchen granite countertop(stain removal took two months) polished with a white hogs hair polishing pad and MB20, wow ! Polished up like glass and looks better than new. The sealer took two days then some tenax granite wax . I can’t believe how nice this all went. I also polished the travertine tile in my kitchen and dinning room and it too looks like “Vegas”. This dewalt polisher has also cleaned up rust from metal(circular wire brush) and cleaned off stucco for a repair I did on the house. I always purchase the right tool for the job and don’t stick with a certain brand or color(I have Fein , metabo, Bosch …) this dewalt is at the top of the heap fir polishers.
Thank you "Big Guy" AKA My Dude.. Just Ordered my M8S V2 Today-(Your order at MaxShine has been confirmed ) I didnt know about the new one until i watched your Video-Glad i did because i was just about to order the old version- TY Your discount was applied-it still works ;-)
Great info! Thanks for sharing! Do you replace the grease inside with a better quality one? I’ve seen several professional detailers on RU-vid replaced it and it really makes a big difference in the performance and the noise.
Man I wish I would’ve waited for that one. I purchased the grey & black one with your discount code. I like the look of the new one. The entire look and set up looks way better. Now I wish I could get my money back 🤦🏽♂️😂
Can't stop watching and because of your videos I have gotten obsessed with washing and caring for my truck. How long does it typically take you to wash and wax your vehicle?
Great stuff as always Josh! I recently polished and coated my car but unfortunately my garage has very poor lighting so once I got it out in the sun, I saw all the scratches and swirls I missed. Would I be able to just decontaminate, polish then recoat? Or would I have to do a strip wash, decon, polish and recoat? Thanks for all the help and entertainment!
Just purchased one from Amazon $114 I haven’t used it yet I have Dewalt wD849 I bought it about 10yesrs ago I like the orbital one Dewalt requires a lot of expertise You can’t but the paint with this one I want Rupes but it’s like $600
Hi josh just received my adams 15 mm almost bought the dewalt i also have a ws waxshine 8 mm but I did buy the maxshine dual polisher holder from carzilla getting it this week thanks great video
Would have to see it in action, especially on the areas that are stall city with all of these DA polishers, looks like the griots G6 and G9, not much like the Bauer.
Hello, I'm looking to buy my first DA polisher, which do you recommend? Griots is unfortunately not available in my country. 1. MaxShine M8S Mk1 ($120) 2. MaxShine M15 Pro II ($225) 3. ShineMate EX610/15 ($210) 4. ShineMate EX620/15 ($275) 5. Rupes LHR15 ES Mk1 ($355) 6. Other brands/models? Also, for smaller/tighter surface areas, should I buy one of those micro/mini polishers like the SPTA ones or just get a 3" polisher like the ShineMate EX603?
Great review, I only see 1 issue (and Maxshine should have caught this one too because they know better) the speed control under the power cord is a big problem. Had the speed control been on above of power cord, it would've been a hands down homerun. This has been an issue on other polishers for years. I'll wait for the version 2.0 design fix. Again, great review.
@@chrisginoc When the speed dial/control setting is above the power cord (where you can see it), it's so much easier to see and adjust the speed on the fly. It's not easy to see that dial under the cord without lifting the polisher while using it, especially for beginners trying to learn and do their very best. Still... a good polisher as is the Adam's 9mm Swirl Killer LT Polisher. I believe they're both made by Maxshine and they're both the same M8S V2 polisher (just the vent covers are stamped different). Maxshine gives you the best warranty: MAXSHINE will repair or replace any defective tool, without charge, due to faulty materials or workmanship for the working life of the tool, subject to certain exclusions below. MaxShine does not cover shipping for repairs. Adam's is a 9MM polisher and Maxshine is 8MM polisher.
@@still-DJ As for a beginner, would you recommend a Griot's G9 9mm (speed dial above power cord) or a Maxshine M8s V2 8mm (speed dial below)? I didn't want to make the jump to m15 pro yet since I'm a beginner and I've been reading that 8/9mm throws are perfect for us beginners.
@@chrisginoc Hands down the Griots G9 with both 5" and 6" backing plates. And the power cord is removable as I have this G9 polisher along with the optional 25-foot power cord and both backing plates. Their pads go perfect with their BOSS polishes too. I also use a lot of Chemical Guys Hex-logic foam pads (mainly their orange medium cut) that hold up very good in the Arizona 100-degree plus heat and are strong. I prefer the 5" backing plate and pads myself.
@@chrisginoc You may just want to start with a basic Harbor Freight polisher 8mm when they have a sale. For around $60.00, then just buy a good backing plate? Just until you know if this is something you enjoy.
Really quick question. Why are some polishing pads texted instead of just flat? Is there any benefit to the honey comb pattern on some pads? I’ve seen polishing pads that are a wavy pattern as well. I know it’s probably a pretty dumb question but I honestly don’t know the answer.
question. does it matter the kind of polisher one has? i got a cheap 38 dollar random B&D random orbit polisher from amazon cos that was my budget. also im not using it for commercial purpose. mainly just for the cars at home.
Awesome channel! Quick question for you, I am just getting into Detailing for myself friends and family what polishers Do you recommend for a newbie do I need a 5 “ polisher and a smaller one for small areas? Or just the 5” Thanks for everything you Do really enjoy your knowledge thanks man
You can do amazing with the added 3inch 12mm, but try a 5 inch alone, your experience will let you know, which probably means you end up getting the 3 inch anyway. Machine and pads would be an additional $200+, so take that into consideration, good luck...
@@imjoshv holy cow! That thing may be a bit above my skill set but it seems worth getting! Wow, what a beast! Maybe someday my skills will warrant getting one!
Been trying to contact Max Shine for a few days for an order that is approximately $700, and they are not returning my calls and email. Can you help me?
Feels like a bad idea, especially on a light colored car. I could be wrong, but I feel like you'd potentially end up staining the car while the foam dwells. Probably also reduces the effectiveness of the foam...also just a guess. I do agree though if my guess to your reasoning is correct. Especially on a white vehicle, a colored foam would make things easier to see where the foam still sits.
Yea even the colored snow foams say not to use it on oxidized paint as it could stain. I did a video on the Adams Unicorn soap a while back and I really like the colored foam but it is a bit messy. But, when I did that video I remember someone commenting that they use food coloring to make their own colored snow foam.
