I'm new to detailing and bought the MaxShine 15 pro II because I didn't want to spend half a grand on a polisher. I loved it the first time I used it. I have zero experience with any other polisher to compare the differences but the MaxShine just felt good in my hands, the build quality is solid, more than enough power and it did the job in short time. So, thanks for the positive video. I feel good about my purchase.

What is the exact diameter of the backing plate of the M15 pro?

I like this one a little better than the one at harbor freight. It’s a lot smaller. Good video , but with the MaxShine you’ll need to check the backing plates. They’ve sent out several warped backing plates ( you should buy a spare ) but the polisher itself is ok. Takes a bit of learning like most polishers to keep it spinning but it can do the job.

What a great video. I have been watching videos on polishers all week long. I have been going back and forth between this and the Rupes. I keep hearing about the stalling so my mind tells me just order the Rupes and be done with it. Then my other side kicks in when I watch a video like this. Do I want to pay twice the amount just to polish my truck once and then stick it in a box and rarely ever use it again. I hate cutting corners and usually by the quality items but I have really been struggling with this one.

Nice job FAB! That polisher is really nice! Looks very similar to my Rupes MKIII. I agree about the white handle. Shows dirt really easy. But the handle itself is good and does it’s job.

FAB Automotive Detailing - KZread’s commenting system has been so incredibly inconsistent for me, I don’t think I ever get notifications if I’ve replied to a comment and then they reply back to me, their reply I won’t be notified a large part of the time. Then most of my comments don’t tag the name of the person I’m replying to, this comment did though for whatever reason. And then I was in a line spacing prison for over a year, where trying to break my comments into paragraphs with proper spacing wouldn’t go through, it would just clump a block of text without me editing comments to manually replace those paragraph breaks. Just a mess. They just did a large revamp of the comment system it looks like so we’ll see how this does.

Hey Brian, thanks for doing this video a while back. I noticed you mentioned a washer mod that you like to do. I couldn’t find any videos on your channel where you show that, can you explain what your washer mod is? Is it simply just adding a washer to give the backing more room between the polisher? Thanks!

I don’t have a video on it but yes you add a washer so the backing plate spins freely. Some models you have to shave the washers sides off to make fit. Nothing a bench grinder can’t handle.
