Hey thanks, Dino! Appreciate that man! Your gonna have a blast! If you have any other questions man feel free to ask. I'll help where I can!👍🤙

No problem at all man glass this was helpful! Appreciate the sub as well! Since this video I've upgraded to the M15pro series II and it's my go too polisher now.. even bought the m21proII👍👍 G9 still a stout machine just to many issues with the cords still. All in all you can not go wrong really with any.

Big J you mailed it, he has answered questions and gave so many tips at all times of the day. Couldn't be a better person in your pocket when starting out.

David, I really appreciate the kind words my friend ✊🤝 hope all is well!!

Robert, no problem at all! I'm glad my video was helpful in your decision! Appreciate you taking the time to watch! Let me know how you like your unit when you decide to get it!!🤝🏻👍🏻 take care!

Thanks Jamie! Yeah they arw both very much capable of great results! 👌👍

Thanks man! Appreciate that!👍👍 thank you for tuning in🤜🤛🤝

No problem! Thanks for taking the time to watch!!!✊️ still have the G9.. Minor issue with the power cord. But Griot's sent me a new 25ft one and been working since! The m15pro started stalling so I sent it back.. they ended up sending me the m15proII as a replacement and it rocks! 🤙 still have it as well.

Tim thank you! Appreciate you subscribing!👍👍and thank you for watching my other videos as well! Take care my friend!

Thanks Paul! Yeah, can't beat the lifetime warranty ! Appreciate you watching!!! Both machines are awesome 👍✊

Thank you so much! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and subscribe!!! I'm glad this was helpful 👍 check out my intro to polishing video as well. May help out as well! Take care!

Thanks, Bill! Appreciate that! Glad it's a helpful video my friend. Have been getting a lot of the question which to choose on the solo review vids if each machine so I figured this would help👍

It's a great unit for finishing! Especially on the softer clears that can be finicky. The smaller throw helps finish out there greatly! Thank you for taking the time to watch! 👍🤙🤝

💪🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

No problem at all!!! Appreciate you tuning In and watching! 🤜🤛✊

Anytime man!!! Thank you for watching!!!!

No problem! Thanks for watching.. yeah, I always wondered how they came up with all these measurements haha

Jesse, no problem man!! Glad this video was helpful!!! Check out the BMW ceramic coating video I have.. I review the Shinemate ex620 15mm which... imo is superior to these. Not saying the G9nor M15pro are bad but I haven't touched em since I got my Shinemate✊👍 as always if you have any other questions feel free to ask! If I can help I will!

Thank you I really appreciate that! I'm glad my video was helpful for you! Best or luck and if you ever have any questions feel free to reach out 🤝👍 if I can help in any way I will

Thanks, Dan!! I appreciate you watching! Yeah I was told it was in the Harder side of clear coat..! Good thing it's big and has tons of area to practice!

Marybeth, that's Awesome!!! Ao glad to hear people loving the G9. It's very light and comfortable for sure.. 👍🏻 appreciate you watching!!! That thing must have turned out awesome! ✊🏼 I haven't used the swirl killer so lmk how you like it!

@@PapaSmurf918Detail Haha!Yeah,thats my 3 step process i use on all the vehicles..its a long day,but when they show up to see a rolling mirror,the work is worth it!

Its absolutely worth it! That end result is what gives us the drive. Seeing the peoples jaw drop is a great part too!!😧😂😂

Its definitely worth it to swap to a 5" backplate. I'm curious though about how the maxshine backplate fit the G9? My M15Pro has a different style backplate as far as mounting. It has a bolt in the center to mount unlike the G9 has it so you spin the backplate on.

@@PapaSmurf918Detail That was definitely the problem. That MaxShine bolt locking system failed here. It did great on my Harbor Freight though.

@@edruiz6364 ahhh.. ok. Yeah I love my M15Pro just wish it didn't stall so easily. It's more work paying attention to the backplate an keeping it moving.

Absolutely a relevant topic! And thank you for watching! Yes. Free spin should be there 100% I think quality control comes into play as well, my replacement unit I still have is a beast! Since then I've moved to shinemate which is an absolute great unit... still have all my maxshine, and griots as well. Cycle through em here an there but 85% of time I grab my Shinemate ex620... when I need a shorter throw I'll grab my G9 from griots. 🤙

@@PapaSmurf918Detail Do you recall if your replacement M15 Pro spun any better? I'm actually about to do my first correction with the M15 Pro II. If it doesn't work out I have other buffers I can fall back on. But I'll be pretty disappointed. I'm really excited to use the M15 Pro.

@Apophis-en9pi yes it did. And it's a powerhouse. My only con that I don't like is that the air vent vents directly into your hand.. I hold the head with my left hand lol. But I believe that maxshine has come a long way since my video was done. I like to think the quality control is much better. 👍

@@PapaSmurf918Detail Did a little more research and I think they changed bearing suppliers as the bearing is now a feature listed on MaxShine's website. I'm LOVING the M15 Pro Series II, but I just found out the EX620 5/15 is literally the same price. Kind of regret not getting the ShineMate, but so far the M15 Pro has been ok. The bearing broke in quite well after about an hour of use. Really only bogs for me on sharp curves. And honestly that's the machine telling you to back off, pretty sure any long throw DA would stop rotation on the areas it's doing that for me. I might reach out to them about possibly trading up. Are they still the same company?

@Apophis-en9pi that's great to hear! Yeah, I believe they are the same company but ti my knowledge they just kept going through people an management that it was taking a toll as they weren't getting established... hey, my shinemate still stalls... all DA polishers do. Your right it's telling you back off and as well hey I'm stalling to save you. Forced rotation is the way to go or rotory if your worried about stalling 👍👍👍

Thank you!!! Yes, G9 is such a solid unit... very well rounded product.. enhancements.. correction.. wax application.. it does em all. Very comfortable too! Appreciate you watching my friend!!!🤜🤛

Thank you SO much! I appreciate that!!! So, if your just getting started out buying your firstpolisher, I'd recommend the Griots G9 ( they don't make the G6 anymore, the G9 replaced the G6 👍) or another good starter polisher for under 100 bucks is the Maxshine M8s. I love my G9 and I think it's a fantastic entry level polisher👍 for sure snag up a 5 inch backplate and swap out the 6" that comes with it. Pick up some orange foam pads and black foam pads from them to go with it. Your going to want the 5.5 inch pads to accommodate the 5" backplate. As far as compounds and polishes. You can start with the Griots complete compound/polish. Or whT I started with was the Meguiar's Ultimate Compound/Polish. Play around on the paint and have fun! Just keep the polisher moving and don't think to much about hurting paint! Foam pads ( in general ) are pretty safe. 👍🤙 any other questions feel free to ask man! Take it easy!!✊

PapaSmurf918 your awesome 😎 are there any other pads (brand wise) that you’d recommend over others?

Sorry I didn't see you had replied again! So as far as pads? So Lake Country Pads, buff N shine pads, and rupes pads are all fantastic brands to choose from. I recommend foam only to get your feet wet and get some time with a polisher. But, I think you will learn VERY quick. Once your comfortable then bump up to microfiber cutting/finishing pads, I love the Buff n shine urofiber 50/50 pad. Teamed up with 3d One hybrid compound and polish it works very well on softer ( Japanese) manufacturing clear coats.. the harder clears tend to need more aggressive on the cut BUT when cutting heavy you will most times micro marr the paint and leave it hazy.. that's when you swap to your foam pad. Foam pads are great for finishing down after your heavy cut to remove marring and clear up that haze👍👍

Bill, your absolutely right! I have the G8 as well and it's nice to be able to use 1 cord with two polishers. Not worrying about the cords getting all tangled up👍.

Never thought about this ! Very cool !

Definitely prefer the G9 it's more comfortable.. the newer m15pro is a better unit as far as power an stalling but, theG9 is a powerhouse. I still use my newer m15pro from time to time.. 👍 thanks for taking the time to watch! 👍

Thanks man! Appreciate that! Definitely feel the 5.5 inch pads are perfect! Having the G8 is perfect for all the tiny areas and body lines👍. I have not tried the LC HDO pads yet. I did just pick up the LC Microfiber finish pads. Looking forward to testing em. I'll look into those pads! Price may be higher but if they work well it will be worth it. Yeah, I heard they were supposed to do that on the G9 V2.. but like you said. Haven't seen it. I have my eye on the new Boss g15 and G21 though! Maxshine isn't a bad polisher considering price! I just did a washer modnand swapped out the grease on my M15 Pro. Made a big difference. Looking forward to testing it as well!

Thanks, BOD!!!! Appreciate that!

Awesome!! Let me know when you get it and have some fun with it! No problem man ask anytime my friend! ✊👍🤙

Thanks, Mark!!!! Appreciate you watching my friend!

It's a solid unit with tons of power.. slap the 5" backplate and it's a very effective machine!! Thank you for watching!!!

Tariq, thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it! No problem my friend.. 👍 the G9 is a good choice. I don't push products just give my opinions 🤙 thank you for commenting.

No problem! 👍 thank you for watching . So if still say the G9 is the better unit or if the 2...especially as a starter polisher.. it's much more comfortable as well. G9 ftw👍 pads well or doesn't matter pads are universal and both have 5" backplate 👌

No problem Dominic appreciate you watching it's a great unit!

@@PapaSmurf918Detail Man I wasn’t even expecting a reply! Respect!

@@dominicpierce1812 aw man! I'm all about acknowledging my supporters 🤜🤝🤜🤛 if you have any other questions don't hesitate 🤙

No problem! Thank you for watching and the Sub!!! Appreciate that! That's crazy that its sold out. They always have sales though so I imagine they go pretty quick!

Thanks Jason!! Yeah the wobble I'm minor but it's a sacrifice with the long throw. Not a big deal to me though. The M15 pro did yield a slight difference in correcting. I didn't notice until I watched closely in the video. Very minor though. 1 more pass would have made up for it👍

Thanks Man! Appreciate that! Definitely can't go wrong with either machine!! Its a win win situation. Shoot I loved my HF chicago electric 🤣 these are like 1000 times better LOL

Thanks brotha!!! Appreciatethat!! Thanks for taking the time to watch 👌👌 since this video I've been upgraded from the m15pro... to the M15Pro series II and I absolutely love it. Check out that video if you want but I haven't used my G9 since lol. G9 is still a fantastic unit though no doubt✊✊

Thanks man!! Appreciate you watching!

Thanks man!! Oh boy,!!! You are in for some FUN!!! love my G9/8 combo! The BOSS creams are such a pleasure to work with as well!!

@@PapaSmurf918Detail 👍 My first order with the G9 includes, the 5" backing plate, 5" Orbital Conversion Kit, (2) 5.5" Red Foam Waxing Pads, (2) 5.5" Black Foam Finishing Pads, (2) 5.5" Orange Foam Correcting Pads, Blackfire Pad Cleaner, Blackfire Pad Conditioner, (1) 16oz. Griot's Complete Compound, (1) 16oz. Griot's Complete Polish, (1) 16oz. Griot's Liquid Gloss Poly Wax. I've received everything so far with the exception of the Poly Wax, Complete Polish, and the 6.5" Orange correcting pads that were included in the G9 Package. The G8 BOSS Kit order was placed yesterday. Here is what I included in that order.. G8 BOSS Kit, 25ft. Quick-Connect Power Cord, Blackfire Pad Care Kit w/ Brush, Speed Master Tool Cart, Griot's 3" Orange Polishing Foam 3-pack, Griot's 3" Mini Red Wax Pad 3-pack. The confusing part for me was selecting the extra pads! Lol! Especially when I decided to go ahead and order the G8 kit. 🙂. I am looking forward to detailing my 2016 Focus ST which I clayed, polished, and waxed in late 2017. That project was all by hand. Don't think that I'll clay this time. Now; my wife's 2007 Frontier will require a lot more work! I'll probably clay it before bringing the polisher's into play.

@@spydergkh6337 that is a FANTASTIC haul!!! The Frontier will definitely get some love! Definitely clay before polishing! 👍👍the poly wax is awesome, its STILL on my car going on 10 months. Its garage kept but only been washed a handful of times. Topped with beadmaker after each wash. 👍 keep me posted as to when ya get to work with all that stuff!✊

@@PapaSmurf918Detail Thanks! I was going to hold off on the G8 gear to see how I would do with the G9. But; AutoGeek has this 20% off sale going on, and I decided to pull the trigger! 😀 The Frontier does need a little love! That's for sure! The ST can use a bit, as well! That Race Red paint really pops when it gets detailed! 👍 I used my buddy's PC dual action several years ago for a few minutes. Other than that; this will be an all new experience for me. Looking forward to it!

Hahaha man those 20% off discounts get us every time! Lol well it's a great investment in taking care of your rides! Also, it's a blast! Detailed image had a 20% off sale and I ended up getting the New boss G21 from griots! 👍 gotta wait a few for it but that's alright.

Your right, GriotsGarage lifetime warranty and customer service is great. Hard to beat

Love my Griot's G9 Love having fun in my garage.thanks Richard for all your support

@@richardburdo8486 awesome man!!! Got tons of cars done with the G9 it is a great unit..m the power cord issue was inconvenient but there customer support makes up for it!!!

I think the max shine has a lifetime warranty as well. Watching videos on it this morning, trying to figure out which DA polisher to buy during this holiday season, I think it was the Dallas Paint correction guy who mentioned the max shine came with a lifetime warranty as well.

Maxshine is a limited lifetime warranty. Has a 1 year warranty. They have been having some quality control issues though.. my units are good granted I only use em here and there and not every day. At this point it will be the Shinemate ex620 15mm for me. Or the G9 👍

I have the old Chicago Electric polisher and I absolutely love it. I learned on it and it's now converted to 3" and I use it at my shop to do headlight restorations lol. The new Bauer units are ehh.. not bad and will definitely get the job done for beginners

Thanks bro! Haha like me just gotta have em all! I have been lookin into the maxshine rotory with that kit to run the mini polisher. Really been thinking in it. But now that Griots released the New Boss G15 and G21 haha. I'm like great making me go broke LOL

Thank you, Denise... Definitely griots is much much better in all aspects! At least from my testing. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch! 👍👍👍

Thanks man! Have not used the Torqx.. but you'll be happy with the G9! Appreciate you tuning in!

I did notice a slight better result as I went back and really looked.. that's that 15mm throw for ya! And definitely can't go wrong! Both great machines🤙 LOL thanks man! The sweet smell of 🌮🌮🌮

Adron, I recommend the Series II for sure. If it's in your budget👍 check out my video on it if you'd like. It's a solid unit. Appreciate you watching!

Chris! Thank you for tuning in to the channel ✊🤝 appreciate that! And look forward to seeing in more comments!! We also host livestreams so be sure to check in on that!! Take care my friend!!!

I have heard that the M8s is a fantastic starter polisher and for the price it's really unbeatable! I've yet to play with a rotory but soon I will. Haha it's funny how we work around budgets to fund our addiction 😄😄😄 I'm sure if you used it often you'd have no problems dialing in the rotory 🤙

Thanks man! Both goof entry level polishers.. the M15proII would be my pick it was a Maxshine unit. However if give a look into the Shinemate ex62015mm polisher as I've not used my Maxshine or the griots G9 since 👍 BUT I most certainly out of these woukd lean on the G9🤜🤛

@@PapaSmurf918Detail just ordered my g9 from what you mentioned about the “ better handling “ and got the 5” griots orbital conversion kit with some pads and some turtle wax HS ceramic polish and wax.. heard good things about it and easy to use. New vehicle so just want to brighten it up after these salty Canadian winters. Lol all set! ✌️

@MC Awesome man! That sounds like a solid combination! Yes, that ceramic polish and wax is great and very easy to use👍👍 just keep that damp towel there for removal. Helps a LOT!!!

No problem man! Yeah, the M15Pro is a tad quieter. However it's funny the G9 sounds much louder on camera than in person. If the M15PRO just didn't stall as easy it would take the W. I can deal with a tad louder and an extra pass to get it done than having to work around the stalling🤙

Yup. The Griots customer service Is second to none as well! G9 is a great polisher. They had some issues with Power cords I'm not sure if is resolved BUT they took care of me so I can't be mad. Hopefully they have that issue fixed. My 25ft cord has been perfect 👍thanks for watching🤜🤛

@@PapaSmurf918Detail thank you I’ll look into it. I’ve been doing my research and man, there’s a lot of polishers I’m going crazy 😂 jk, but yea and I do want to get one that is smooth and not too much vibration. My first DA was from harbor freight omg that thing vibrates 😂 but thanks for everything. 👍 💯 🤝

@Marcus A hahaha oh man I still have my HF polisher LOL that thing is a tank but definitely vibrates!

They are both fairly equal in person.. after a grease swap the maxshines get smoother an as tad quieter for sure 👍👍

Will do!!! Appreciate that man! Thanks for taking the time to watch!

Haha what's up Carlos! Thanks man I appreciate it!! LOL thought I'd add some spice to the Tacosmurf nickname! 🤣

No worries! Thank you! Yeah absolutely... I think they've done a bit better with quality control. I still have my M15pro2 and it's a workhorse. 👍👍

@@PapaSmurf918Detail I've started liking the maxshine range but was caught between the mixed reviews about it stalling without any pressure, because I'm not a professional detailer buying something like a Rupes at this moment where prices has gone through the roof is not justified to me.

@0togtr811 I totally feel you. That's why I went with one of these. Check out the Shinemate ex 620 15mm unit. I do still have the Maxshine unit but since I've bought the Shinemate I don't use the maxshine as much. My biggest pet peeve is I hold the head with my left hand and it vents directly into my palm and the air is hot. It gets annoying when doing long polishing jobs

🤣🤣 I guess the vibration is cause im Missing my white gloves of destiny! Thanks bro! Yeah, the G9 is a solid machine. Idc if I did have that issue with it. Lol

Erica, both great polishers but since I've gotten my Maxshine series II I haven't used my G9. I really like my Maxshine Polishers. I do hear some people have had duds.. yet again I know people who have also had bad luck with Rupes.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge on detailing for us newbies..I just ordered the green pro 2

@@ericadiaz5834 No problem at all! I'm still a newbie as well😁 learning just as you. I'll gladly help out where and when I can👍

David, the G9/8 combo is a great combo for sure!!! I loved them when I used the G9... I now use my Maxshine series II over my G9 but doesn't mean I dislike the G9👍 solid unit!

Yeah I really didn't know the importance of faster cutting ability until I did that 2 step on the 2016 Accord. If I had a 15 or 21 long throw I'd shave at least an hour if not hour an half.

Hey Richard!! Since this video I did have it stop on me again.. it's a power cord issue and not with the unit. It's a stout machine for sure a great buy. Since this video I've bought the Maxshine m15pro series II and love it. I don't think I've used my G9 since I have got my m15proII.. Both great machines I just love the 15mm throw.. hope this helps!

Thank you I appreciate that!👍👍

Hahaha man that's crazy! Shoot my Harbor freight Chicago electric is an absolute workhorse! I think they design them to be safer for some reason.! Either way the G9 is awesome. The new series II maxshine is LEGIT.

@@PapaSmurf918Detail my porter cable sucks! Horrible on curved surfaces. Motorcycles especially.

@@jerrydavis2737 Jerry, I've never used a porter cable! Lol but sounds like you need to upgrade!

Glad my video was helpful man!!! Appreciate you taking the time to watch. As far as pad choice goes, it all depends what type of paint your working on, how bad the defects are, how thin the clear coat is ( although you need a paint depth gauge but if the car is older chances are it may be thinner ) there are lots of factors to consider. You always want to start least aggressive method first.. don't want to jump straight into heavy cut if not necessary. That way you preserve as much of the clear you can. Its VERY thin as is. Id start out with a polish of your choice and a polish pad. Do a few passes and check your work. If your happy with the defect removal you were able to achieve then stick to that combo👍 if not, you could either bump up to a more aggressive foam pad like a correction foam pad ( will be more dense and feel slightly more stiff ) and try that with your polish.. check your work and so on. If your still not happy then move to a compound ( which is more aggressive than the polish ) and try a few passes with that and then check your work. It's a process and you may need to do a few test sections ( always choose a different test spot that way your not mowing down clear in 1 spot 👍) before you actually find the combination your looking for. Then get the car done👍 hope that helps man. Feel free to pick my brain anytime bro. I'll be doing a livestream today the 14th if you get this in time. 2pm PST. Great way to ask questions and get quick answers across to you an my subs✊✊✊ take care man!

Thanks for subscribing! Anytime you polish you wanna make sure you wash and decontaminate the paint. If there is protection on the paint that is fresh then I usually like to use poorboys world strip down to help get the protection off the paint. After, I follow up with a decon of iron remover ( not always needed ) then I clay the vehicle using a clay towel or traditional clay. I just find the clay towel/mitt much faster. The reason is to get the paint as bare as possible. The contamination, if not removed will cause a bunch of issues in the polishing stage such as marring and your pads will be full of it and it's a never ending chase of WHY on earth can't I get results lol. As far as wax. That's totally up to you as there are MANY forms of protection. Most common are spray sealants. Silica spray sealants are easy to apply and are pretty durable. For example. Griots 3-1 ceramic wax is a great one found local at autozone. It's around 22 bucks and is a great product. 👍 Hyperclean Sliq is another one. Turtlewax ceramic spray coating another one. Just a few I named I've used with good results. Now when time to polish don't jump into a compound. You wanna start with a polish and polish pad and do some test passes. See what you get then adjust accordingly 👍. Check out my polishing 101 video I have. Not to far back in my vids 🤙🤙

Desi, yes. Love my series II m15pro.. been through multiple cars and still going strong.

Both good units here!! The maxshine m15pro didn't last too long. Ended up sending it back and they sent me the series II m15pro and that was much better. My G9 power cord went bad 2 times. Since been fixed.. since this video I have bought a Shinemate Ex620 15mm and it's a solid unit!!! Maxshine is semi hit or miss right now from what I'm being told. Appreciate you watching!!!!

Thanks,J!!! 😄 its taco scented hahaha!! Appreciate that man. Take it easy!

James, no problem thank you for watching 👍👍

That's awesome man! I hear all this hate on the M15PRO Series II but I absolutely love it.! I've done 3 full jobs with it and its been a champ!👍🏻✊🏻

@@PapaSmurf918Detail Great review by the way. I think this is a great video for beginners, love how you stress to not overcomplicate it. I see a lot of beginners doing that and it's definitely something I needed to hear my first time polishing. 👍👍

@@clarityautodetails5304 thanks man! Yes, I agree. Lots of people try to find the " best " polisher when really they just need time under " any " polisher 👍🏻 the skills will come in time! It's about having fun and learning.

So every car is different in terms of Clearcoat thickness... having a paint depth gauge is key to knowing.. I've been ok cause I tread lightly.. the test hood I honestly don't care if I burn through lol. That's what it's for. But, the goal is to start least aggressive to help preserve the clear. Cutting as little as possible to achieve your goal. Don't chase scratches that are deep. If you can feel it with your nail it's not going to polish out. It can be made better though and less noticeable in some cases. Appreciate you tuning in and if you have any other questions don't hesitate my friend!

Ls, sorry to hear that but nice!!! I. Going to buy the new BOSS G15 as well. My M15 Pro just isn't cutting it for me. Even with washer mods it just stalls to easy.

@@PapaSmurf918Detail yeah I've noticed a lot of people were on the fence with the M15 pro. Not a huge support with that machine. What I like about Gritos is that they are a family owned business. They stand behind their products that's why I'm going to give them a shot.

@@PapaSmurf918Detail I also heard that the company that makes the maxshine polishers also makes Gritos polishers. Dont know if that's true or not.

@@lsdemon7773 absolutely man! Griots customer service is awesome🤙 I have been back and forth with maxshine about my polisher and they keep asking me to send them videos of what the polisher is doing.. I'm like dude, really? Come on now. I wouldn't make this stuff up. And what would you even be able to do watching the video? Make sure I'm telling the truth?

@@PapaSmurf918Detail damn that's crazy!!!! What I've seen with Gritos is that they take good care of their customers. Can't wait to join the Gritos family.

No problem! Yes! Griots come with a lifetime of the machine as long as you did not tamper with the machine

The maxshine is definitely smoother and a little quieter.. the G9 is definitely louder on camera for some reason.. its not THAT loud in person. Both solid units but I'd prefer the series II M15PRO over the m15pro... 👍👍

Bill, thanks for watching! So, I absolutely love my G9. It's a GREAT entry level polisher. Just this Past weekend my replacement G9 stopped working on me. However I swapped cords with my G8 and it worked just fine. So it's not the unit itself but with the cords. I believe they have updated these cords cause the cord that came with my G8 looks slightly different than the other. So, I'd not worry about it. 🤙🤙 if you were to order a G9 now it would come with the updated cord.👍

Well I thought I mentioned aside the fact of the issue they are having... I'd still pick the G9. The issue is not with the units themselves, it's with the power cord. I really hope they have pinpointed the issue thus far to be honest. I haven't had a " newer " cord just yet to put through its paces. Still a better unit though.

Out of these 2 polishers hands down the G9 is the winner.. now, my Series II I have been really really enjoying!!! Lol however my New G21 will be here next week😁 that's gonna be the new heavyweight I feel... I'll be doing an unboxing and review 👍🏻👍🏻

PapaSmurf918 nice !

PapaSmurf918 bro I just scored a Rupes Mark 3 with a broken tip for the low, low.

@@AmirAbdullah say whaaaaat!!!! Awesome man! I hear they are legit!!!

Your welcome! The G9 is a SOLID choice. Feel free to ask anything if ya need it!

PapaSmurf918 thanks 🙏 will do.

True. The DA polishers do have a safety measure and stall out. But, I'd that's the worry just go for a rotory or forced rotation style polisher.

@@PapaSmurf918Detail good advice, but I ALREADY have a dewalt 849 rotary, it is a missile, (THE ROTARY BOSCH IS ALSO BRAKING) but if a DA machine with free rotation stops we are in trouble and as a result it does not correct anything and without exerting pressure there is no lacquer correction ( even more so in hard lacquers) that's why the porter cable 7424 and Rupes do not slow down and excellent results are achieved, I also have forced rotation the makita po5000c1, greetings Giscardetailling.

@@Amolavelocicoaster_363-23. awesome my friend sounds like you have some great machines. I'll eventually get me a rotory and have some fun!👍

Thank you!! Appreciate you watching!✊

Thanks man! You will have a blast with the Series II. If I had waited another 3 weeks I'd have the series II as well. I'm using in this video to just the Costco Kirkland brand towels JUST cause it's a test hood. Not really worried about the quality. They are fine for this application. But I prefer a low nap somewhere in the 300gsm range for wax/sealant removal as well as polish or compoundremoval. I have been using the Rag Company Minor lately and they work great! Minor is the name of the towel btw. Pad maintenance.. there are 2 options. Either using a pad brush or compressed air. I tried the pad brush thing but quickly bought an air compressor after the brush started to kind of fray my pads. Now I have a McGraw compressor I bought for less that 200 bucks that I use. I blow out my pad everytime It lifts the paint. I know some people don't have air compressors but it makes the world of difference.. after a few uses the pad becomes built up with clear clean and product the the pad becomes useless. Pad cleaning - I used to use Superclean degreaser and running water. Spray the pad, massage in until it gets foamy and rinse until nothing is left in pad then just set up to dry out. Recently I have been using 3D towel clean. It's a microfiber detergent I use to maintain my microfiber towels. I mixed 1oz into a 16oz spray bottle and simply spray into foam and work it in then rinse thoroughly and let dry. Have heard Dawn dish soap works well too.! 👍 I haven't heard of that just yet from Nano skin.. there are a lot of systems that are designed to work with there own products and pads. Just don't let them think you can't mix things up snd play around! That's where the fun is!😎 plus you might stumble on a combo that you love and it quickly becomes your favorite!!!

Tundra Whisperer let me know what you think of it. I have the same one I got a few months ago

PapaSmurf918 great stuff, thank you. One thing I’ve heard, in regard to pad cleaning, is to stay clear of using dawn soap. I’ve only heard this, but they said it could change the chemical makeup of the compound or polish product your using. I’m going to give that pad cleaner powder from McKee’s a try, seems to be getting lots of thumbs up! Okay, just need to wait for the pads, and pad cleaner to get here and I’m ready to go for it. That and some sun, I’m up near Seattle and the rain is coming back, darn it! LOL.

Jason Davis I’ll try and remember to give you some feedback, once I finally do take it for my first go-around! Thx

@@tundrawhisperer4821 that's weird I know a few people who used dawn and they say it works just fine.. hmm.. either way they said not to use Superclean cause it leaves the pad chalky as well. Before I switched to the experiment of the 3D towel clean. I used Superclean for over a year with o issues 👍 the dedicated pad cleaners are ok. Nothing wrong with them for the weekend warriors. They can just get expensive if your using a lot of it! 😄 well soon enough the weather will be legit and you will get to have fun!!!

Ruben, if I were to charge someone to do a full size truck would be 800-1000.. that's a lot of work!!! And wet sanding is fun but not always needed.. keep in mind prices will vary too.. givin your location.

Thank you 👍🏼

@@rubensoto5866 no problem man

I charge by hours now, its better, you never known when you will finish the job, always some suprise or maybe it when faster😉

@@Emmanuel0 Marc, haha man that's so true you NEVER know when you may finish 😂

David, you can absolutely use a da polisher to apply liquid waxes/sealants.. make sure you are using a soft wax application pad or wax application pad👍. Keep the speed on the lower side as you are not going after defect removal.. just after even application of the wax/sealant 👍

Thanks man!! Ummm.. if you have stickers on the paint I'd put some tape ( I use the blue 3m tape ) over the stickers just in case. As far as emblems I've never had a problem with them.. you don't wanna go like over them purposely but you will be ok. Some are sharp and could tear your foam pads if you stay up against them to long. Hope that makes sense. I've gone over my Honda emblem before when applying a sealant.. soft pad but your not putting much pressure down. If your polishing or correcting just be mindful of badges and what not. 👍

Out of the 2.. the maxshine M15Pro stalls much easier than the G9. I'm excited as well for the new G15 from griots!!! I've heard the chinese knockoffs ate hit or miss. I'd rather spend the 50 bucks more for the G9. Or even the Maxshine m8s.. which is under 100 bucks!! Appreciate you watching and commenting man!

Quick question ... is it possible to do a full car with a 5in backing plate?

@@whassap1549 its definitely possible but some tight areas may not be able to get reached. And getting a 5inch on the edge likes to stall. So its hit or miss depending on body lines and tight areas. A 3" polisher makes it MUCH easier

Thanks Keith!! 🤙😎 appreciate cha!!

Dean id love to review it! Unfortunately no funds to purchase just for review as I have 7 polishers already😄 wife would kill me! 😂😂😂😂

First off, thanks for the sub! And right on! I appreciate that! I have used my replacement unit a few times including to full paint corrections.. not 1 issue with it. I'm pretty sure they solved the problem which was the cord I think. I don't think you will have an issue 👍 great entry level polisher and great to start with🤙🤙 if you have any other questions feel free to ask man! Take it easy!✊

PapaSmurf918 awesome man, I’m glad to hear it I will let you know how it all goes !

@@filipinokidd386 sounds good🤙

PapaSmurf918 FYI update I actually went ahead and got the maxshine they had a sale going on for 135 for them! Lol

@@filipinokidd386 awesome! I saw that sale. Keep in mind. I believe that the m15.. not the m15pro.. still hear it's a great polisher. Please keep me posted on how you like it! And if you have any other questions!

Pretty much that... just the weight of the machine. Maybe slight downward force.
