One thing I have forgotten to mention is this machine does have slow start, so even if you have the machine on speed 6 it will slowly start and build to that speed , further test on this machine on its vibrations I was challenged to balance a coin on the machine on Instagram, go check out the results here :instagram.com/reel/C3SgniRtfwB/?igsh=cXA2dTdzZDhscmQ4
I recently purchased this product, sadly not having seen your video. I 100 % had the same issue with stalling with the 3mm offset. At first, I thought it was just optical, but no, when in DA, it does not work. I agree that the pads are poor, and I found it improves greatly with decent pads.
I have the same polisher and I can agree that the 3mm dual action attachment is useless. I also had no clue you could fit a 3 inch backing plate to it!! I was about to buy their 3 inch 12mm DA, but now that I know I can turn this thing into a 12mm DA, im pumped! Just ordered some pads and that backing plate. Thank you🫡
Thanks for the thorough and honest review. Been looking at getting a mini polisher to work areas such as bumpers, a-pillars, etc., especially since I've ordered a new MX-5 that I expect to be here in a couple of months. I have a regular size polisher for the larger panels but want one to use when working in smaller and tighter areas. Still researching them, but this one has popped up as a value based option. I'm also looking into the Shinemate EB210 and the Griot's Garage "The Boss" Hybrid Micro Polisher as more expensive options.
Really is a nice little machine for the value , the lack of attachments is a bit of a let down but you can buy these in Amazon, let me know what you choose 😁
@@TheHairyHouseWife After a lot of researching last night, I ended up placing an order for the Griot's Garage "The Boss" Hybrid Micro. Looks to be a serious competitor to the Flex unit, with a few additional tweaks that really speak to me. I've also had great luck with their G9 polisher (my main go-to), and their lifetime warranty really gives me peace of mind. Truthfully, it's probably overkill for what I need, but I figured I'd spend a bit more upfront and hopefully get a unit that I won't have to replace in a year or two.
Cracking review, Darren. I do want a mini and eas wandering wjether to just splurge and go down the Flex route but, ive always doubted that id get my money's worth. My DAS6 has a 3" so the 2 and 1.5 is all I'm after really. It's this or the Carbon Collective one, as it stands. Thanks for the timely video. 👍
Yeah I have seen those not a bad little machine I don't know is this would be worth buying as an upgrade if you have an older model or different models but I think if you were in the market and couldn't afford a flex , this is pretty good
Have you found any replacement battery? I finally had one of my batteries stop taking charge completely. Ive been looking for some replacements on amazon
Hi came across your video while researching the Maxshine V2 but the one thing i can't find are replacement pads can you point me in the right direction please
Unfortunately, they don't explain that in the book it says its for polishing , altho even without a pad on the thing stops really easy I wouldn't want to sand with it as it could cause spot damage
i just brought the DAS 6 nano,, they are all the same, soft case and insert the same, battery's the same, chargers the same, accessories pretty much all the same, all the machines in this price bracket are all the same machine it seems
Yeah I wouldn't usually go as far as I did polishing wise with a mini polisher , usually smaller areas or awkward angles , however I will lay down wax with a 3 inch Polisher as I find it quicker and more efficient than by hand

i brought flex pxe 80 half price over xmas with all the pads and backing plates for the price i couldent turn down 💪
If I could have found one cheap enough would have gone for it , but honestly this isn't half bad for the price
Nice honest review. Thanks
Thank you 💪

Great video, great information there.
I think I’ll stick with my KDN polisher great video Darren
Yeah I have seen those not a bad little machine I don't know is this would be worth buying as an upgrade if you have an older model or different models but I think if you were in the market and couldn't afford a flex , this is pretty good
I have taken your advice and I’ve upgraded my pants
Have you found any replacement battery? I finally had one of my batteries stop taking charge completely. Ive been looking for some replacements on amazon
Hi came across your video while researching the Maxshine V2 but the one thing i can't find are replacement pads can you point me in the right direction please
Looks a wicked bit of kit, you doing ok??
3mm attachment is for sanding not polishing 😊
Unfortunately, they don't explain that in the book it says its for polishing , altho even without a pad on the thing stops really easy I wouldn't want to sand with it as it could cause spot damage
By the way, that plug is not American, it looks European. American plugs are either 2 or 3 and 2 are flat and if with the 3rd is because of grounding.
Good spot , yeah dunno how I didn't notice that it wasn't flat 😂 still not a UK plug😂😂😂
i just brought the DAS 6 nano,, they are all the same, soft case and insert the same, battery's the same, chargers the same, accessories pretty much all the same, all the machines in this price bracket are all the same machine it seems
They are I believe, I would go check out the video I done on the Batoca machine polisher tho 🫶
can you use 3" backing plate?
Hey so if you watch from around 4:10 you'll see me talking about this ,
Yes you can and it works really well
You lost me when you polished the whole car, with a mini polisher 😮
Yeah I wouldn't usually go as far as I did polishing wise with a mini polisher , usually smaller areas or awkward angles , however I will lay down wax with a 3 inch Polisher as I find it quicker and more efficient than by hand
Rainforest rub.....yummy, still got a stash of it
thats not an American plug its a European plug , usa is 2 pin flat pins
Call 200 buger freudly i think not
First!!!
