    After detailing for years and having used everything from the old Cyclo Polisher (still the best IMO for final finishing/jewelling etc) to my Milwaukee rotary and Flex 3401 which I love, I recently bought a Shinemate mini polisher. 12mm offset for added convenience etc. Ruddy love it! These cheap machines are where many top end machines were a few years ago...trickle down tech at its best.

    OMG Jon, you are an incredible communicator and teacher, actually, I think it would be more appropriate to call you "The Professor" because professors have a deep knowledge of their subject matter. This allows them to express with confidence that the information they are passing on is due to their background of trial and error that progressed and surpassed into the world of "Textbook" knowledge. And realistically there are a lot of Pro Detailers on KZread that have the university level of knowledge and experience that allows them to be in the top rank of those who can apply their knowledge in doing awesome detail work, allowing all of us to watch it, but they are not as effective in communicating verbally what is happening in the total context of what we are watching on the channel. In the university or academic world, it is those with Graduate degrees who become Professors with the ability to communicate the full context of what they know to a level that is able to teach all those with undergraduate degrees and below. That is your audience Jon, and we thank you, Professor, for communicating with all of us.

    Hi Jon, just a quick one on the backing plate. The holes are not for cooling the pads. They are designed for pneumatic DA Sanders that have a built in Central or self generated Vacuum for removal of dust / debris whilst sanding. In no way do they offer any cooling from the motor. All the air from the motor is expelled rearward and not forwards 👌

  • @ForensicDetailing

    @ForensicDetailing

    3 жыл бұрын

    the air is suxed in from the rear Ive just checked this with bits of paper. the fan sits between the shroud and the motor below the latch. the vast majority of air flow though is expelled before the shroud which is unusual (in 4 vents). It feels like theres some airflow coming out between the plate and the shroud though, although inside the shroud it looks sealed off from the main unit. Indeed the shroud has vents inside it and I can feel airflow coming out off this. I suspect the airflow inside the shroud though is mainly generated from the counterweight spinning at high speed but this is expelling air out of the shroud (you can feel it) and if theres holes in the plates then the air will flow through them. I think its for cooling, I can check with the manufacturer if you like.

The other 2 in the package, the Yellow and Blue aren’t as good but the 3M green is top. Also maybe it would be a good idea to get a few panels of different car manufacturers, one from a Japanese, French, Italian and German cars and try the different compounds and polishes on them and see which one works the best. For German cars I guess you have tried a lot on your BMWs which I also own but for other people which own other cars it would be good advice I think. Best wishes George

    Great review, loving the channel! I was planning on getting a DAS 6 Pro Plus as my 1st machine but after watching this review I'm not too sure now. Would you recommend this over the DAS 6 Pro Plus? Also this machine is significantly cheaper...bonus points.

    yes. your results will be down to you and the DAS6 pro can be used to equal effect. but this machine has more grunt, is cheaper and has an intergrated bail. I get comission if you buy it from my links but in2detailing used to sell the DAS6 pro before the DA8 was around. so either will do mate.

Still leaning towards the DA8, it has that smaller backing plate and its a fraction of the price of the Plus. I didn't know about your commission but I'll be sure to order from your link when I do.

    Yet again, such a great video Dave, I will be asking Santa for a polisher this year. A couple of questions, I do have a Dewalt battery and charger, would you recommend a cordless one of these ahead of the DA8, however price will be maybe £70 more. And lastly, on a 30 year old german black car, which has had a lot of paint, and many swirls! will a two or three stage polish be necessary. Keep up the great work, thumbs up

    so if you go cordless you pay more, and you have to round robin batteries. But the Dewalt cordless is very capable. I dont want to say too much but my review of the DW cordless tools is coming soon and it looks at these offerings in detail so hold fire I would until you have watched this. hard german paint. Ok first up compound, and finishing, and ultra refining, is 3 stage. Dont confuse stages with sets. so I could do 3 sets of compounds, and 2 sets of finishing, 1 jets of ultra fine jewling or refining. thats a 3 stage polish. So you do the extra stage when you really want to max out gloss, maybe on a high end valuable car or maybe just because you are crazy or its a show car etc.. the etc ultra fine refinement is a lot of extra time for time gains. So Cut your hard black german paint untill you are happy with the swirl level and then refine it untill you are happy with the pure sharp reflection marring free finish... aim to minimise compounding sets if you can.

    hey there Shaun. you have to clean them properly at the end of each day, dont throw them untill the surface starts crumbling up and disintergrating. take tooth brush, squirt come APC on the face work with brush, then blast the surface with a garden hose and it will flush all the polish out.. when clean sandwich in a thich clean drying towel and press to suck up all the water so they feel 99% dry.. put in airing cupboard to full dry.

If thats still not cutting it then H9 and purples and finish out with M3 ornage.
