@@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.
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!
Great info! Thanks for sharing! Do you replace the grease inside with a better quality one? I’ve seen several professional detailers on UA-cam replaced it and it really makes a big difference in the performance and the noise.
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 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!
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?
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 🤦🏽♂️😂
This version has mor amps, starts up smoother and love the fact that it comes ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 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.
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
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?
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.
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
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!
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.
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?
*Good **MyBest.Tools** power and rpm control.*
Just purchased the M8S V2 and used the 15% off code. The polisher works great so far and no screw ups by me (yet).
How's it holding up so far?

@@DSC800 I've been debating between this Maxshine or the Griot's G9. I'm also a weekend warrior wanting to work on my cars at home

What model dewalt is this ?
I'm super interested in your take on the 1/2" polisher they just released. Vibration and how easily it stalls are my biggest points of interest.
Me too!! I’m hoping to get my hands on one very soon
M8S v2 VS Adams SK 9mm cual es mejor???
Sub'd and ordered. Thanks for the detailed review for us newb's.
How do u like it?
I may have a home for that in my future, thanks Josh 👍😁
Almost got this one but went with the dewalt cordless. Great video, as always.
Always got great information - great video.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
What product (Cut/Compound, Polish and Finishing Polish) do you like using on each type of Rupes pad that you recommend?
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
I had finally made up my mind and was going to get a Griot's G9. Is this a better way to go as a 1st DA?
Which one did you go with?
@chrisginoc life happened, and neither yet. More important things came up, and still keep coming up.
I just picked up the meguiars mt300 ginna be figuring that one out soon!
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?
Any difference or your preference in the 8m between the msv2 or chemical guys or 3d products polisher?
Got mines locked in 165.78 thanks I will test this bad boy in the next few days.
Would you recommend replacing the grease inside with the lucas red n tacky grease? I just got the green m15 pro
Saw this at sema and have been checking for it to come out. They were super friendly.
I couldn't even find the MS booth at SEMA.
There's seriously way too much content there.
@xpaulbaileyx yeah I wish I would have spent more time in that building. I didn't even find it until the show was almost over.
Nice! Looks like another good unit from them. I have their 15mm Pro and love it.
Yea the m15 pro is fantastic!
What polishes and compounds do you recommend from 2 steps and 1 steps? And what pads do you recommend for the m15 pro?
Damn I literally just bought the M8S. Got it in the mail a few days ago. Now they release this >.
I just ordered one from amazon what polish pads do you recommend ?
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.
Do you have a video how you install the pad and what pad to use ... And applying the product ... Wayne New Jersey
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
If it werent for the car companies not coming up with a better solution of headlamp haze these polishers would be 1/3 of the price.
I like your explication thanks from quebec
That looks EXACTLY like the Adams SK 9mm
They all come from China
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.
I'd like to know this too.
It has to do with heat distribution
Yo josh can you make a video how to polish a car cause am new to car detailing and am trying to learn it
Could you test one of the black max,or by any chance you know how good they are?
Hey josh quik question for you regarding the carbon brushes, how often do they need to be changed would you say?
Mine had stalling issues with slight pressure, the pad would stop spinning with the slight pressure... I had to return it.
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.
It is suitable to use a 3 inch backing plate?
Hey there, can you use 6inch pads on a 5inch baking plate??
On your next foam battle you should do MTM Hydro PerFOAMance Cherry Scent High Foaming vs adams
How’s the vibration on this?
I’ll like to see the review of the 1800 psi hyper though, and if it’s worth it agains it’s little brother the 1600 psi
Ordered ✅
Can you change the plate on this ??
If you could only have one polisher for your business what specs would you want? Wattage, throw, backing plate?
For me, 15mm with a 5” backing plate!
Can I replace the backing plate for 6’ inches ?

@@bishoprain9287 thank you
Who do you think makes the best cordless polisher? I have the Ryobi, not real happy with it.
SPTA polisher, watch miranda detailing on the review
Only 8mm? or 15mm? I'll stick with my 21mm thank you very much.
!
Interesting. Looks like a Griot’s knockoff. Comparison video would be interesting.
I have limited storage space. Do any manufacturers make a variable throw polisher rather than having to purchase multiple polishers?
Lake country makes the udos machine. It has tons of options including rotary as well. It’s just heavy because the mechanism to change between options
@@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!
Hey how do I check on my order Information from your website?
PLEASE check out the new detailing line "Suds Lab" at Walmart. Would love to hear your opinion on their products

i just sent this to my contact over there. Hopefull that will help! They may have been closed a few days for the holidays
Its a copy paste the griots polisher
Just cheaper priced
These machines all have American plugs, I assume? Too bad for a European :(
max waste of money get the Bauer cheaper and does the job without breaking bank
Harbor Freight is trash.
