dual action polisher

Maxshine’s original 15mm orbit, long-throw dual-action polisher offers improved electrical efficiency, ensuring more power and torque on any surface. This makes stalling an issue of the past, which in turn delivers consistent swirl-free results.

Designed with the user in mind, the MaxShine M15 features a rubberized horn as well as handle to minimize vibration, and fit the user perfectly. Polishing no longer has to be an hours-long, grueling process which ends up in physical fatigue.

The high-quality speed dial allows the user to choose from 1800 to 4800 oscillations per minute. Whether compounding or finishing the most delicate paint, the M15 is the tool for the job.

At a whopping 4 meters or 13 feet, the power cable offers plenty of length for a free-range of motion around any vehicle. The base of the cord is reinforced as well, for a long life, free of cord failure.

Every component on the inside of the M15 has been strategically placed to distribute the machine weight evenly, for a balanced tool. Requiring little to no additional pressure on horizontal panels, the M15 does the work, not the user.

Easy to Get Rid of Swirl-Marks and Scratches !

    4 Stars
    I love it. Feels like my Rupes, but runs cooler.
    I'm liking it. I detail professionally, and own the Rupes 15, Flex, Porter Cable, and the Torq. It looks like a Rupes clone at less than half the cost, so I said why not. It's built solid.PROS: It's quiet, and we'll balanced. It feels good in the hands. The best thing is that it does NOT run hot like my Rupes!! It doesn't vibrate! So my hands don't go numb after a long day of work. The speeds are well tuned. Packaged well. The warranty is the best. I attached some pics of the results. The 15mm throw saves time and the power of the unit does all the work once you get the right pads and product.CONS: The numbers for the speed dial came already rubbed off. Even with the included washer mod, it's still very close to the shroud but doesn't affect it too much. It came with way too much grease on the plate. My biggest gripe is the backing plate. It's not an actual 5", it's actually a lil over 4.5". The plate is also very stiff. I would love to see an actual 5" flexible plate on it. The unit also starts at high opm regardless of what speed you have the dial set to. It does slow down after a few rotations.Overall, I would recommend it! A pro or hobbyist can quickly make this their go to rig to take on any correction or enhancement job. If it had a flexible 5" plate, it would stall less or not at all on high spots and contours. Maybe MaxShine will consider developing one in the future. Video to come soon. Buy this unit!!

    This was my second machine. The first one Amazon sent to me used - even had a completed warranty card inside but everything else was gone. I returned it immediately. This one was exactly as ordered and it works exceptionally well. I'd highly recommend it to anyone wanting a quality DA and a reasonable price. I did a hood correction and it was quite, smooth and powerful. I don't think you could ask for a better polisher for the price. Maxshine you have a real winner here!! Very happy to have this in my detailing cabinet. Going to do a YouTube video soon and I'll post the link when completed.

    This is a good quality dual action polisher, I am Very Happy with this purchase. It runs smooth with 5.5" pads on it and is pretty darn quite. There is Plenty of power available - I cannot imagine being able to apply enough pressure to stop this thing - it is a beast.

    My only disappointment is that I coudn't run 3" pads on it, I'm sure I could run 6" pads or even 7" pads if I was so inclined - this thing really has that much power. It's a great tool but it can't be all things to all people, so I will be purchasing a 3" polisher in the near future.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    After doing my first two step correction with a harbor freight polisher, I was left numb with vibration, heat and noise. I decided there had to be an easier way. Purchased the Maxshine ShineMaster 15MM. And wow, what a difference it made. This polisher is quiet and powerful. There is very little vibration. And this long throw 15MM makes the job quicker while providing superior coverage. This polisher is several steps up from my HF. It also comes with a nice bag.

    The locking trigger is awesome. However, the trigger lock can be a bit finicky at times.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice DA long throw polisher for good price - would recommend purchase
    Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Now, I'm not a paint correction specialist by any means, but I do a fair number of enhancements and one step corrections. I do some 2 step corrections from time to time but i try to stay away from those for now.

    I started my detailing business with the Harbor Freight 6" DA polisher that everyone in the world has used at one time or another. It vibrates way too much, is very loud and doesn't do a very good job at cutting, and makes your hands hurt for hours after using it. It has it's place in detailing, but it's not really a full car piece of equipment.

    in comes the Max shine 15 mm DA (called the Shine Master now - same polisher new name) and it's my first long throw polisher. I was very eager to use it.

    Upon opening the box, there was a fairly nice carrying bag inside, a D handle and screws, extra brushes, a washer for backing plate modification, and a hex key. The 5 " backing plate was already installed and tight from the factory, so no need to do that. Also, the backing plate spins freely while the unit is off. Basically, this was ready to go straight out of the box. And there was a smaller bag to carry all your spare parts as well.

    I was very eager to test it out, and since I can't operate now due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I tested it out on my wife's metallic grey Saturn with very heavy oxidation, scratches, halos, you name it, it's on the car. I didn't prep the panel correctly (I didn't even wash it), just did a rinse-less wash on a test section with nothing else. I taped off my test section. Unfortunately, I didn't have any 5" foam pads (i thought i ordered a 6 " backing plate but oh well), so I put a 6" orange cutting pad on and used 3D One 400 (one step correction). Using the standard Cris-cross method, I attempted to remove the scratches and swirls.

    With only a few drops, I was able to remove SOME of the scratches. I'd say the orange pad removed about 50% of the scratches. I then switched to a polish pad to finish it off. There were still noticeable scratches, so I upped my game to a 5" Uro 50-50 pad. Primed the pad, did standard 2 pass at about 1 inch per second. Well, that did it. The clear coat was just harder than I thought. Then I followed up again with a polishing pad and I was actually able to see the metal flakes pop! That's exactly what I was hoping for, so I was very pleased at how easy it was to remove the deeper scratches with this unit. And even while applying a decent amount of pressure, it didn't stall one single time.

    Pros:
    WAAAAAY better than HF 6" da polisher.
    Very easy to control
    Soft start
    Trigger speed control
    lockable trigger
    Very low vibration
    Click confirmation speed dial
    easy to access speed dial when using

    Cons:
    I don't have any because this is my first long throw DA polisher. However, compared to the HF one, this is like night and day.

    BUT!!!!!! the grease inside the Maxshine gearbox is horrible. Just don't use their grease. It's cheap and offers little protection of the polisher.

    Do your maintenance immediately prior to first use. Remove the bad grease that came with the unit. It's crap and it will not help you. In my case, their cheap grease (silicone) actually made the machine vibrate and was fairly loud. So, instead I got some Valvoline high heat, red lithium, marine grease and packed the gear box completely. It made a huge difference in how well the machine worked. It was less noisy, less vibrations, smoother operating and didn't get hot at all.

    I have literally zero experience with a long throw DA, but I really like this polisher, even knowing that there are better polishers out there. However, I feel this is an adequate polisher for my needs. It's not heavy, it fits my hands very well, it doesn't vibrate too much and my hands were not numb after using it (unlike the HF DA).

    I would recommend purchase of this unit based upon my initial impressions.

    Unfortunately, my State is under a stay-at-home order and I'm not allowed to operate my detailing company because of that. So, I don't know how long it's going to be before I can reopen. I mention this because I'd like to give updated feedback, but it's going to be awhile before I can do that.

    Again, I think this is a nice starter DA long throw polisher. It's not very expensive for a long throw, and it's made of very high quality materials.

    Not only would I recommend this for purchase, but I WOULD buy another one if I need one. Maybe the 21mm one instead once I get used to the increased cut from the 15mm one.

    Edit: July 14, 2020 - I have now used the polisher several times. It feels good and hasn't had one single problem. It does get some vibration but that's only on huge body panels like the hood because the support is less in those areas which I assume are prone to vibrate with any type of polisher.

    I'm very pleased with my purchase. It was not very difficult to learn how to use it either. I was a little intimidated as I'd never used a long throw. But, this was very easy to learn. I still recommend this as a good polisher. It just works and it's not uncomfortable or has made my hands gotten numb. Now, if you had to use this every day, all day long, I'm not sure. I don't do that amount of detailing, nor do I want to lol. This seems more like a solid and well made unit for entry level users.

    The first one i purchased broke after polishing 2 cars. The dial power switch became inoperable, so i send it back for and exchange. The second one I received began having problem after 2 car polishes but I could not send it back because too much time passed by. I contacted the company for a warranty claim and they said I had to ship the product to their office in CA. I live in NJ and shipping cost was about $40. I told them $40 is to much for me to pay and they did not offer anything. So don't buy this garbage chinese product you will regret it like me

    My wife and I own a custom detail shop and ordered the MaxShine 15.

    I've been using Rupes for awhile now but gave up on them after losing 2 Rupes 15 units in under 3 years.

    First impression out the box....

    First thing you'll notice is the nice bag the DA comes in.
    A bit surprised to see the included bag, a plus.

    Extra brushes included too.
    This was a nice add on their part to give us the brushes, just in case.

    The machine

    First impression on first use...

    Was working on a faded Toyota when the DA was delivered.

    Was using my Flex 3401 at that time.
    I took it to my cart and put a MaxShine Polishing pad on the unit.

    The MaxShine 15 felt really good in my hands right away.
    When I hit the switch it was so smooth, more so than my Rupes 15., was a bit surprised by that being the Rupes cost far more.

    To my likings....

    Well made
    Doesn't bog down like the Mark II
    Cooler running pads

    The backing plate is really nice.
    It not only has holes under the backing plate but also on the side which releases the hot air keeping my pads cooler.

    MaxShine is made by MaxShine which is always a good thing.
    Because of that they give you a lifetime warranty even on a less expensive model.

    Two small things I didn't like but still gave it 5 Stars

    The power cord could be better but I can change it out myself.

    The DA doesn't have slow starts it has fast start but I adapted to it quickly.

    Will order 2 more for our staff
