Finally a video that actually shows and explains this polisher!
I must agree: they have stepped up the bar. Sounds like a great little machine. And it's not just another knock-off! And so many options for the heads and plates. WOW. Thanks for the great review
Looks to be a fantastic little machine. Excellent review (as always) Cheers, and have a good week my friend.
Excellent review! Thank you for posting.
Brilliant review as always my man keep up the good work
a must have, I can't wait to have one. It will be extremely handy on boats
Another awesome job by shinemate. I like there diamond cut pads too.
I have a EX620-21 with a backup 5" backing plate and will be picking this up as a nice combo.
Such a good value with backing playes, DA and rotors heads.
I hope they sell that in the USA. That polisher looks incredible! I have a Flex PXE-80 which is a great polisher but in my opinion is just doesn't have nearly enough torque. If there was one thing to make the PXE-80 a better machine, it would either be a forced rotation feature added onto it, or make one that IS a forced rotation. But then this machine comes along. I know several detailers who swear by other Shine Mate machines and I have no doubt that Shine Mate has probably done it again in terms of getting a lot for your money in terms of what comes with the machines, but also the build quality which is important also. Those Shine Mate machines look like they are the perfect balance of value, quality, and good user experience. And I doubt there are many that comes with such a vast array of accessories including a hard box type of case! WIN-WIN-WIN. And the fact it is so versatile being able to macro polish, micro polish, 1", 2", and 3" all in one machine! Yes sir, sign me up! I just got the SPTA Cordless 15" long throw last year and I must say, it is a great machine for what I paid for it. It's smoother and quieter than two name brand machines I have! I might have to invest in one of these bad boys in the future. The problem is that I already have a lot invested in the Flex PXE-80. I have all the upgraded accessories sold including the same attachments that allow the PXE-80 to complete macro/micro polishing needs using an attachment for the PXE-80 that accepts those very small polishing cones. Plus, they now have that incredible wand attachment that converts the PXE-80 into a wand polisher. I have the older version of the wand polisher that attaches to a rotary and it works well too but it's cumbersome to put it all together, etc. With this Shine Mate, the conversion to a micro polisher is completed in just a few seconds and you are good to go with polishing. That's a plus. That definitely is one sweet little machine Sandro! You are still one of my favorite detailers on TH-cam to watch buddy. Between you and RED DETAILS, I enjoy watching all your videos and I have learned a lot about more intricate detailing from watching you and your videos. Your exceptional editing, and presentation of useful information to the enthusiast detailer out here in the world goes unmatched! I hope you and your significant other have a wonderful summer. Cheers Sandro!
Great review as ever Shine mate never lets you down I have 2 shine mate machines and love them the EB210 looks very versatile plus with multiply heads to suit every detailing need and more This machine does it all Its great you talk abou tpower and torque When i was learning about machine polishes i thought it was about the watts i never knew about torque but you need the power to drive the torque and the gearing set up of the machine I think torque and power are misunderstood it took me a good few months back in the day to find out the truth so thanks for talking about it Sandro you never let the side down so keep them coming In Sandro we Trust
Thanks Bob, glad you enjoyed the review and in the end it does really come to how it performs. Specs and claims are nice to get some info, but using the machine is when you get to really asset it.
Thanks for the review
Hi Sandro sounds like your full of cold that's I decent machine there mate thanks for sharing 👍
Can’t wait to watch this. I got mine about 3 months ago and nothing but good things to say. Such an amazing tool. I now have a full line of ShineMates cordless polishers and every one of them is great.
Hope you enjoy the video 🙂
I wish the 15mm shinemate cordless didn't stall so easily. I love the ergonomics. The Milwuakee 15mm cordless is a lot more powerful but so big and bulky.
@@orthodox1717 I find the 15mm powerful enough but could always use more power… I have the 21mm though with 5” backing plate and the cordless rotary as well so any heavy jobs get those. 15mm for finishing. Or rotary more recently. But for me the 15mm still powerful enough for a decent cut and most one-steps and enhancements.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailingSandro, does your backinglate fly off your EB210?? I read alot of issues with this and ahinemate itself is also aware of this problem. It seems they made some adjustments to the backkngplates. Are you familiar with these issues?
@blackmagician0078 no, here in Australia we didn’t get the initial release that apparently had that issue, it was already fixed when we got our machines here and all the new units now selling should have the updated part - from what I know it was just a new screw mount for one of the backing plate types that was needed, nothing major and an easy fix.
A very good review Sandro. I own a Max Shine mini polisher which seems very similar to this, but the Shine Mate has far more usability features on the machine itself. I also own 3” and 5” cordless Shine Mate polishers. Great machines, but archaic battery technology. Leaving a battery too long on there charger basically kills cells in a battery. I hope they have fixed this on this machine and the ones I already own or it’s not something I’m willing to risk again. Keep up the great work. Lloyd
Thank u for this video , I was goin to pick up a dremel small polisher , it's looking like this can do more than the Dremel tool
I really look forward to seeing you in Korea soon.
If i haven t take a used Flex Pxe80 in May i should buy this One IMMEDIATELY cause It seems much more powerful and complete. I started polishing with the EX620 15 and Is quite good as a Rupes LHR III 15.... I m thinking about the battery powered 15 orbital too. Anyway not excluded i sell my 2nd hand Flex Pxe80 to get this new shinemate that seems lovely ❤
Very nice tool, it’s hard to get here in Central Europe, but here are alternatives like the Chemical Workz Evo Mini with not that much adapters and tools but from some resellers you can get quite a bit more.
This is a lovely machine and it versatility is what makes it a winner for me,sadly try getting pads from shinemate,I've had mine now about 4 months now and even contacting shinemate about the pads,they promised to fix that issue but never did and to date found no other manufacturer that makes pads of the same size,anyone got an answer for the pads I'd be glad to hear it as I've given up on shinemate now...
Ever since I saw the release of the polisher on Instagram I was waiting for you to review it
Hope you enjoyed the review
@@CarCraftAutoDetailingI truly did, now I can't wait to find a distributor that can sell me the kit
cool
Finally...great review, thanks Sandro! I wanted to ask if you change out the gearbox grease that comes pre-installed in your polishers for a higher quality alternative? I know many youtube detailers are advocates of this when getting new machines, but had never heard you mention before so wondered what your viewpoint on this is? :)
Thanks and I don’t think there’s any harm if you want to change the grease. Personally I’ve had zero issues with how all the Shine Mate polishers come lubricated even after years of use so I’ve never found the need.
New CCAD video day is always a great day. Can you let us in on when the RX7 video is coming out?
RX7 is next in line 🙂
❤
Curious how it compares to the new Griots hybrid mini polisher
Nice!
Hi Sandra,
That is a great review.👍 I too, really rate the Shinemate products. My EX605 is my favourite polisher. Shinemate are a fantastic brand and their pricing makes it viable for me as an amateur enthusiast. I simply cannot justify spending the money on some of the other highend brands.
Thanks
Thanks so much for the support!
what would be smart is if they kffered an option to add a power xord to there cordless units. Like what Griots Garage does. So in case ypi dont have the power or the run time needed without having to buy extra batteries you can plug into an oitlet and now ypu have consistent power.
Shinemate did do a moce job with this unit. Also the fact that unlike other min8 polishers where you cant add a 3" pad on the Hogh torque Rotary attachment without having to worry about throwing off the balance of your machine.
That battery reminds me of a Milwaukee cordless drill battery but black
Seems like the Flex PXE80 find it's biggest rival.
Hi Sandro, I was looking to purchase a 3mm or 5mm EB210 head for the occasional wetsanding/polishing. Do you have any opinion which size would be more useful/recommended? Seems like most of the mini machines come with 3mm as their secondary D.A option.
I think either will be fine for sanding and light polishing but I think I’d personally go for the 5mm, it’s still quite a small throw and should be a little better at maintaining spin, making it perhaps a better balance for sanding and polishing.
The batteries look a lot like the 10.8/12V batteries from Bosch. Not a chance they would fit this Shine Mate? I have a couple of Bosch Professional 12V tools already...
Sandro, are you planning to get your hands on the all new Rupes iBrid HLR series ? If so, I can't wait for your reviews about it !
Yes, would love to test it out, I think April is about the time frame it will arrive here locally.
Hey Sandro, when you displayed all the heads and attachments around the 10 min mark - could you also do quick change on the orbital or is just the rotary?
The quick change is just on the rotary, I think the dual action motion is too unstable for that sort of twist and lock system.
Thought so. Thanks for the reply.
I wish Shinemate would make 1” & 2” foam in red like they do orange.
Wow looks like quite the kit! I was just looking to see if any retailers ship to the US. Do you have any preferred sellers?
Yes, there’s a link in the description to Parks Car Care that sells in the US
Hi Sandro, wondering if I could get some advice. I'm looking at a Rotary 75mm Polisher in the Makita line (I don't want too many diff battery platforms) would that compliment my full Sized Forced Rotation to cover most jobs or would you suggest I save up for a mini DA such as this?
I completely understand as I also have about half a dozen different battery platforms at home! But for car polishing the eb210 just does so much and does it so well from rotary to DA, sanding, compounding and polishing with 1/2” up to 3” pads that’s hard to overlook. I just think every detailer/enthusiast that gets the chance to use it will absolutely love it.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thank you so much for your response. And I guess shinemate it is 😁
Q: what is the amount of time you use this small machine vs the big one with big pads? Wondering because I can't afford 2 nice machines. If you could choose 1 to be the nice one, which would it be?
It really depends on the car and job. For more straight forward cars (less intricate designs) and more basic to intermediate levels of correction I’ll use my larger machine far more. But for more complex car designs and higher end work I’ll use my mini polisher far more. Generally I would suggest to start with investing in a good larger polisher as it will be your workhorse machine. But don’t assume more expensive means better - the Shine Mate EX620s are cheaper than the more expensive brands but class leaders in just about every area.
Great advice, thanks!@@CarCraftAutoDetailing
Pure Evo, Mohs Evo or Cquartz uk3.0 - which provides the most visual pop in your opinion?
Maybe Mohs, but if you throw CQSiC into the mix it would probably be on top looks wise.
Hi Sandro I am in the market for a new 3 inch polisher. I don't necessarily NEED the rotary capabilities that the shine mate offers but it would be nice to have. Strictly as a DA alone though, how does this Machine compare to the relatively new Rules HLR75
If you solely want a 3” DA I may possibly say the Rupes HLR75 could be a better choice as it’s got the grunt for 3” to 4” pads and I believe Rupes has come out with a new safety trigger replacement to solve the issue it had with accidental firing (though I haven’t seen it here locally as yet). For me personally I’ll probably still use the HLR75 as a dedicated 3” DA and use the eb210 for 2”, 1” and 1/2” DA and rotary applications because I’ve got both machines. But honestly the EB210 can really do it all.
Hi Sandro excellent video just ordered mine here in uk , can you use this with the shinemate 100 mm pads with 3 inch backing for light paint enhancements? Keep up the good work - Andy in uk
Thanks and you can still use it with 100mm/3” pads, you just get more overhang like using 4” pads on 3” backing plates, but ultimately I think you do get a better experience using the dedicated pads plus they are quite affordable.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing ok thanks Sandro.
Hi Sandro, are the 1" and 2" Shinemate MF(blue/white) pads available to buy? I can only find the 3", 5" and 6". Thanks.
Yes, here’s a link: www.waxit.com.au/products/shine-mate-spot-polishing-microfiber-cutting-pads?ref=1NNwBEgP4yO4AX
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thank you!
Hi. I cannot seem to find the really little pads. I think the backing plate is 15mm. The really really small ones it comes with. I checked your links but i don’t think any was listed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your best bet will be contacting the sellers the links in the description box will take you there or it’s Waxit.com.au here in Australia or parkscarcare.net in the states
Appreciate it!
Hey Sandro, such great info and thank you. When you are polishing under the door handles with the extension what settings are you using. Rotary? Speed? Pad etc. Thank you very much.
Thanks and if I can fit the 1” or 2” backing plate & pad with the extension bar and high speed rotary attachment, that’s always my preference for door handle cavities and usually I’ll be on speeds 1-3. If that won’t fit, then I will use the cone pads on the same extension bar & rotary attachment on speed 1 only.
Thanks. Is this your go to mini polisher? I'm assuming so but there are so many to choose from lol.
Yes, although I have a use a multitude of machines, the eb210 is my go to nano polisher
Is the battery compatible with milwaukee M12 or bosch 10.8V?
No, I haven’t seen any car polisher brands that can use batteries from other brands. From what I know the battery is more than just a power supply, it also communicates/regulates functions with the polisher skin so each one tends to be unique to the brand.
Hey Sandro how would you compare this polisher to the PXE-80? I’m about to purchase my first mini polisher and can’t decide between the two after watching your video. TIA!
If you just want more of a dedicated 3” polisher I think you’ll be happy with the Flex, but if you do want to also use 2”, 1” and even 1/2” pads on both rotary and DA modes the Shine Mate is a clear winner.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I really appreciate the reply and I’m glad you specified Flex for a more dedicated 3” because I will be purchasing the Ibrid nano for anything smaller then that. Thanks Sandro!
Would you say this can replace the rupes micro polisher
Yes
Thanks for the video. I've ordered an eb210. I can't seem to find replacement backing plates yet though?
My pleasure mate, and the EB210 only really just latched here a week or so ago so it may take a little more time till we get replacement plates and some other bits but hopefully they will becoming soon.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I've had some time to play with this polisher, and it's a cracking little polisher. Just be careful not to lose the 1/2 inch backing plate, it's tiny!
Looking forward to some oem backing plates, but have ordered some aftermarket ones in the mean time.
Thanks again for the video Sandro 👌
@@scottsnet where did you order the backing plates?
Can you please explain the use cases for the two different rotary heads (but not the one for extension tools)
Also, does it come with those sanding discs and are the backed onto a light foam interface?
No it doesn’t come with sanding discs and the two rotary heads allow you to have seperate screw in and/or twist lock thread alternatives ready to go - it’s just a nice added option, but certainly not needed for everyone.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing so which would be the go to for correction work rotary head wise out of high torque vs low 🤔
And ah okay on the sanding discs!
The high speed head for the 1/2” and 1” pads and the high torque head for the 2” and 3” pads
Your channel has made me the local Mr. Miyagi. Do you still use NV products?
Haha great to hear that and yes, I absolutely still use Nv products.
Hi Sandro,
Thanks for providing your review,
Which one is better Flex PXE80 or EB210, can you please provide me your suggestion ?
I’d personally go for the EB210
Thanks Sandro
I got EB210, but I am looking for 3inch backing plate. Because it doesn’t come with kit. Can you please prefer 3inch backing plate for EB210?
@@CarCraftAutoDetailingalso I got DA12 with screw attachment( thread 1/4-20”)this is updated version ?
I believe the 3” backing plate is still yet to arrive in Australia but should be coming, the rotary attachments can switch between screw and twists but I think due to the motion of the DA moment the screw ons are more secure so that my be why the production version have them solely - there was some changes with the final productions version vs the prototype.
Has your backing plate been spinning off during rotation, What can I do to keep it on the polisher?
No I haven’t had that issue - I was told the EB210 units where undated a few months ago to address that potential issue - we here in Australia only got the updated version so I never experienced that, it also wasn’t an issue with the pre-production version I had.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing by simply vetting the product they would know how much of a design flaw this is. The polisher is useless in my book.
I think it’s quite an easy fix if you have one of the older heads - contact the place you bought it, Shine Mate has an updated replacement screw attachment that solves it from what I’ve been told.
.... And you have the 5mm Orbit to Sand too.... 😮
I believe the EB351 can use Makita batteries. The EB210 battery looks very similar to the Bosch GBA 12v battery. Do you know if this battery will work with EB210?
No I don’t but I’m doubtful. Many lithium batteries in these machines tend to do more than just power the equipment, they also tend to communicate with the skin and influence how in works/performs - but I could be wrong.
Thanks for the info. Did you have any issues with the backing plate popping off like in this video? th-cam.com/video/8913puQ8E7w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=apz4BAZ5rFbRcMwd forward to 12:50 minutes @@CarCraftAutoDetailing
No I haven’t had that issue at all. But I was told that all EB210 units where undated a few months ago to address that potential issue - we here in Australia only got the updated version so I never experienced that, it also wasn’t an issue with the pre-production version I had.
Thanks for the clarification, really helpful. @@CarCraftAutoDetailing
Hi Sandro, thanks for the video. Have a couple of questions before I start putting my EB210 to work.
Do you think the 62MM backing plate would be suitable for standard 75mm/3inch pads?
I was a bit sad to see no 3/5mm DA head included, do you think any of 12mm/RO heads are suitable for spot machine sanding with a foam buffer pad or you wouldn’t recommend?
Also could you help assign a shinemate T number to the new yellow and orange spot pads. Yellow used to be T80 and orange T40 would this still be the same?
Cheers
My pleasure mate and I think the 64mm pads and plate would be the ideal option and being they are so cheap and quite good it’s a great plus, but a 75mm pad will still work.
The 12mm DA will still work great for spot sanding - I wouldn’t personally use the rotaries.
The new yellow, orange and black foam pads are still called T80, T40 & T105 it’s just the tapered design and new sizes available, but the foam grades are the same
Is it better than Flex80 regarding power and cutting ability?
A hundred times yes! PXE 80 stalls too easily for my liking and is nearly unusable with the 1” orbital attachment.
Yes, I think power and lack of rotational stall are class lending in this unit.
I'd rather buy the Makita Dpv300 unit only at around 200€ or/and Vonroc 400w corded for 50€, both 75mm 3 inch.
Non brand machines tend to die fast and in the wrong moment
I just purchased the Maxshine V2
Me too! First impression is that it's very tricky to keep the pad rotating - very sensitive to pressure and angle. (I've only used the 12mm offset with the 2" pads so far). I have a sneaking suspicion I'll be using rotary mode most of the time.
@@gregsullivan7408 I used it today and you’re right, the rotary adapter works very well and doesn’t bog down. I used Meguiars heavy cut compound with the white microfibre 2” pad on a bit of overspray from a cheap paint job and it came off in seconds. This tool is going to be amazing for interior plastics as well as exterior pillars. Mazda has the worst piano black plastic trim for scratching. It’s very soft, scratches too easily. 👍
If it's good enough for Sandro.........
🙂
The price is too much
I'm really thinking about getting this. I love my Ex620 and ex603. Also a ex605, what do you think about the 605?
I love the ex605, I used it as my primary polisher for many years. I think you’ll absolutely love the EB210 as well.
@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thanks for the fast response! Love you videos and always learn a lot from you!
