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.

Very nice product

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.

Perfect present for him

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.

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.

I own 3 cars, 2 of them being on the older end that badly needed some headlight polish love, this took care of it in less than 10 minutes per car. Absolutely astounding and easy to use (this is my first polish tool ever, btw) - I took some counsel from professionals in the area and after seeing the tool I’m using, they started asking many questions and were impressed by its quality. I ended up polishing a few spots on my oldest vehicle (a tiny Red Honda) and thus treated it quite well! I workout out quite a lot and I don’t feel the weight of this polishing tool, but I could definitely see it being hard to use for long periods of time.

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.

Works ver good

This was a slow review, shipment from Amazon was super fast but Orbital Polisher arrived without polishing pads and I have to order a set of new pads to do a proper review. I’m new to detailing and In preparation for the big day of polishing/waxing my car, sons car, and my motorcycle, I spent a lot of time on YouTube and learning about polishers and different steps to do proper waxing. It was all worth waiting, the Dual Action Polisher M8S V2 is a monster, With a 1000w motor that feels like a heavy-duty professional machine that other pros are using. Solidly built and lots of power without any concern that the polisher will get hotter or stop working, It does everything as advertised. Worth a try if youre not a Polisher snob.
