Great review, Pan. The Milwaukee's a really nice machine (as is the Flex). Just an fyi, this is not Milwaukee's first polisher, they've made an M18 rotary polisher for quite some time, now. True it's not a dual action, but a polisher none the less. So, they did have at least some prior experience designing a polisher. As their first dual action however, it's certainly very impressive.

@PanTheOrganizer Год назад

Thanks for watching!

@cheveresalvi Год назад

Milwaukee has offered Rotary polishers for years now. Their First full size 18v cordless was actually a Rotary And the 12v pistol grip polisher was around at the same time. This seems to be their first attempt at a DA though

@beaches2mountains230 Месяц назад

I never was a milwaukee guy just bc my Dad had Makita which then transitioned to DeWalt sometime in the mid to late 90's. I will say DeWalt lost out to Milwaukee and hell even Ryobi was popular bc of the large variety of cordless tools/accesories which really is why I think Milwaukee is so great today..besides their batteries seeming to be the best or at least equal to what I used to get out of DeWalt..which they have a polisher now too I saw..I wish Bosch would get their shyt together and offer more variety but for now its Milwaukee for me. Nationwide available ecosystem and same day replacement if needed.

@AustinFerguson Год назад

I been using the 21mm Milwaukee since release and its a game changer - I plan on getting a 15mm as well, so I have variance in my garage and use. I average on my 9.0 batteries around 30-40m of use, which is more than enough to get a front end of car done usually. Usually 2 batteries gets me through my project as I'm charging the other one. I also have a few 5.0 batteries to fill in my use, haven't been that hard off on it yet.

@tonygutierrez3392 Год назад

The 5.0 are lighter but for run time and performance you are better off with the 6.0, you could also go for the 3.0 HO which still give you the performance and the lightness but sacrificing the run time

@KiranPatel-fk1pg Год назад

@@tonygutierrez3392 3.0 and 5.0 are pretty similar in performance. The 3.0 has better cells but far less of them so heat will be more of a power killer with the 3.0 as there's less cells to disperse that heat.

@tonygutierrez3392 Год назад

@@KiranPatel-fk1pg I haven’t found too many problems with the batteries heating up as much as them bogging down under load when they’re down to below 50%, this is under different applications (I don’t own the m18 polisher) but I would personally recommend going HO (high output) when possible, especially if your going for your initial investment into the platform. Don’t get me wrong if you find a deal go for whatever is on sale!

@lovenyana86 Год назад

Hy Pan. Here in Europe the price is way better for the Flex. Package also includes a 6" backing plate, super heavy duty carrying case that can be connected to other Flex cases. Batteries are also compatible with all cordless Flex machines and DWL 2500. If you buy the supercharger for the Milwaukee it is way more expensive than the Flex.

I have the XFE and agree with others in the comments regarding its correction abilities. Very easy to get pad stall on anything but machine weight pressure.

@k-ron7403 Год назад

Excellent video. I ended up buying the Milwaukee to see what all the fuss is about (mainly on Matts recommendation) and while I really enjoy the convenience vs my corded Rupes LHR15, I really am on the fence regarding smoothness. So much so I don’t know if I will keep it. It’s noticeably more corse than the LHR15. Other than that I can’t really fault it. Maybe a tad heavy but ergonomics are great, batteries amazing and plenty of power. I imagine V2 they will solve it but can’t wait to see Rupes 5” version

@ToyotaAristo Год назад

I'm between getting the lhr15 or this one, is the vibration that much more after let's say 1 or 2 hours? Im planning on getting one of those two as my main polisher.

@k-ron7403 Год назад

@@ToyotaAristo Well much like Pan said I think prolonged use could get a little fatiguing and incidentally I did notice some tingling in my hands after a few hours on a recent detail but I was going hard at it. I don’t think it’s a deal breaker necessarily but I am not sure I would recommend it if you’re an 8hr a day detailer. 1-2hrs or the odd detail and you’re good. You can always wear protective gloves if needs be. If it weren’t for the annoyance of blowing out the pads with the LHR15 and dragging the cord cross the garage I wouldn’t have purchased the Milwaukee. I think I am going to keep it just for the convenience stand point alone. The future is battery, even Rupes is going that way and you can’t argue with Milwaukees 18v system so if you’re deciding which system to invest in then the Milwaukee is the better value proposition imo, even with that minor caveat

@aaroncoppler2927 Год назад

I know you were talking about motor quality when you were listening to the noise of the polisher before its rotation came to a stop. I tried to find some info on the flex, but is the flex polisher brushless or an induction motor like all brushed earlier designed tools. If so, then the brushless motor of the milwaukee is a permanent magnet motor and without brushes which usually are knotchy from the poles of the magnets, where and induction motor won't be. So maybe that is the reason for the extra noise?

Great video Pan! Just purchased a Milwaukee 15mm. You mentioned 4400 as a sweet spot when polishing. What setting would you recommend when you first begin using the polisher to spread the polish? Also, would you recommend using 4400 when cutting? What polishers would you recommend with a 2-3 inch backing plates?

@PanTheOrganizer Год назад

It depends what polisher you are using. Not all polishers use the same speed ratings. Typically, you spread the polish on low speed (speed 2) and then polish or compound at higher speeds (speed 5).

Pan, love the videos and getting ready to order my first polisher! Going with the Milwaukee due to having many of their tools and loads of their batteries/chargers. Can you send me some links on the pads I should get to hit the ground running?

@PanTheOrganizer Год назад

Good pick, you will like the practicality of having a cordless polisher. And this is certainly a good one. For pads, it really depends on what paint you have, level of desired correction, which polishing compounds you use, etc. There's no miracle "one pad does all for everyone" solution. Hence why it's important to do test spots to determine which pad and polishing compound combination is best suited for your specific paint and level of defects. But as a general guideline, there are a few staples I always have in my collection, so here they are: Rupes blue coarse pad: bit.ly/3L6sLHg Rupes yellow polishing pad: bit.ly/3ujLF7x Meguiar’s DA microfiber cutting disc: bit.ly/3AOVb3I Meguiar’s DA microfiber polishing disc: bit.ly/3unwVV0 Buff and Shine Uro-Fiber polishing pad: bit.ly/3o1nJ3b You will need 5" versions of those pads. I also made a video on my favourite pads, compounds and polishes here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2JDvQBs1viM.html Also, I highly recommend that you watch my popular tutorial on paint correction for beginners here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ustTEVGMOTI.html You will become an expert in no time!

Milwaukee looks to have fixed the battery position from the earlier models, a positive. Their chargers are not as 'smart' for charging times.

Hi pan, Love the video, but in saying that, all your videos are fantastic. Any change you have any feedback or a review about the MAKITA 18V 150MM BRUSHLESS RANDOM ORBIT POLISHER. Would like to know your thoughts.

@PanTheOrganizer Год назад

Thanks for the positive feedback! If I get enough viewer requests for a Makita review, I will look into it.

I haven't tested any Ryobi polishers unfortunately. If I get enough viewer requests, I'll look into it for sure.

Awesome video and information as always! I have test driven the Flex at events like MTE and it felt nice. I LOVE my Milwaukee 15mm, its my daily go to. It has a very strong rotation for sure, little heavy but fine for me.

Thanks for sharing!

@wrightvideos2011 Год назад

Good comparison on machines. Hopefully someday I can try them out. As you mentioned, the machines are very similar overall, so what about the brand of pads to use for each machine?

@Zpiet820 8 месяцев назад

Milwaukee being less "premium" actually gives less pressure to beginners like me, where the determining factor is the technique rather than the tool. I'm still super worried about doing polishes on my own. I don't think i can finish the wash-prep-polish-ceramic coating in a single day. Do I have to redo the wash/prep steps again if i want to polish another section one or two days later (only garage parking, no driving)? Or do i just need to wipe off the dust with towels? Or actually, i can just continue the polishing cuz there shouldn't be too much dust in just a day or two? And do you think its ok to for example, polish and ceramic coating a panel per day, so that the whole job would take a little less than a week?

@stevenmulkey703 Год назад

Been watching your videos for years and get great knowledge from you. One question is it better to buy a cordless polisher or corded. I'm a DIY'er thinking about doing it more on my days off! But not professionally. Maybe later as time goes! And what would be your recommendation.

@PanTheOrganizer Год назад

Hi Steven. There is no right or wrong answer here. It would be up to you to decide if you prefer the practicality of a cordless machine, or you want something with a bit more constant power and not worry about replacing/recharging batteries. Both have great polishers available. I made a video on my affordable polisher recommendations here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LvPCkCqXEq0.html

Hello Pan merci pour ce comparatif, perso j ai la flex qui d ailleurs est un très bon investissement, légère bien équilibrée et robuste aucune perte de régime quan d on monte le régime elle était livrée avec 2 batteries de 2,5 ampère j en ai racheté 2 de 5 ampère avec un chargeur rapide c est au moins ce qu il faut pour faire une correction sans être en panne très bonne machine pour un gars comme moi qui fait ça dans un parking d immeuble pas de prise électrique Pouce bleu 👍 👍 👍

Thanks for the video content. I recently ordered Flex XFE 15 150 18.0 and Flex PXE 80 10.8 on which I would like to build up my skillset and later offer my detailing services in Switzerland. Heard Flex can be a little under powered. However, once my skills develop while cars paint quality varies. Would you suggest in order to add value to my tool collecting to order 21 Milwaukee as being the better choice or still 15 Milaukee despite I already have Flex 15. The point I would like to make is to avoid buying two same tools without adding value.

@PanTheOrganizer Месяц назад

If you have the Flex 15mm and PXE 80 polishers, you already have the good stuff. Only thing better is Rupes HLR15 (new cordless version) which I reviewed here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q4gYpQrfemA.htmlsi=3DURVj04_kbn-BGs So you have a 5" polisher, a 3" polisher (PXE), and you might need to eventually add a 1" polisher for the super small intricate areas. That's when you buy something like the Rupes iBrid Nano: bit.ly/4abhdhH That way you have the three classic polisher sizes, that will allow you to do any job. You don't really need a 21mm polisher (with 6" backing plate) as those are really only used for super large FLAT panels, like a big hood from a large SUV, to save time cutting. Also, I highly recommend that you watch my popular paint correction tutorial for beginners here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ustTEVGMOTI.html Welcome to my channel.

Thank you very much for your prompt and insightful answer! I will look closer to all your content, it has been very useful. I invested a lot of research into Festool and ordered lots good products, which I already did some projects with, of course a different business case. Nevertheless, I also opened up to this stream of business, which I would be keen to start up hands on by myself being genuinely interested to achieve some quality results. Having a good source of advice and doing my home work well currently is being the priority. Greetings from Geneve!

@radekliko526 Месяц назад

@@PanTheOrganizerMy apology, very last question. If I still want to order this Milwaukee regardless with the decision based on different ergo and more power than Flex 15. Would you agree that its still ok to add Milwaukee 15 while keeping Flex 15? I thought I could use Milwaukee 15 on heavier duty paint correction compare to Flex 15. Milwaukee 21, it may be too much to handle since its made to cover large areas, as mentioned how I read it, especially being novice till I get comfortable. Many thanks!

@paul6749 Год назад

Hi Pan from the UK. Very informative video. I currently have a Rupes corded 5” DA polisher. You mentioned that the majority of the cars you detail are relatively new and only require a polish - no compounds required. What would be your go-to polish & pad combo for medium soft paint?

Hello did you like the new rupes 15 cordless polisher having a tough time on chosen it over the flex 5 in cordless any input your opinion matters my opinion thanks Pan.

@MasteringHow-To 8 месяцев назад

Pan that flex is way underpowered. You’re not correcting paint with it. You’re finishing it. The XCE is meant for correcting. The beast it’s called. The Milwaukee is so much more powerful than the flex you tested here. I only use the flex random orbital for wax and micro polish. If I’m correcting. I’ll use the forced rotation or the Milwaukee.
