What makes MaxShine a Professional Car Polisher Manufacturer?

MaxShine manufactures and distributes professional car polishers globally with innovation and quality, continuously putting effort into and learning from customers. One of our goals is to provide the most convenient mobility for the car detailing industry.  Car polishers are categorized into several including Rotary, Dual Action, and Cordless with the ability to provide both rotary and dual action in motion.  To safeguard long use of polishers, MaxShine offers various types of polisher holders which can embrace all MaxShine branded polishers.

Before we explore the MaxShine Professional Polishers, let us understand the differences between rotary and DA polishers and the association of polishers and polishing compounds.

What is the difference between Rotary Polishers vs. Dual Action Polishers?

There is a notable difference between rotary and dual-action polishers.  The rotary polisher spins in a circular motion only, which is simple but it generates more heat and is difficult to control. However, it works much better in correcting highly damaged surfaces and larger coverage to polish.  On the other hand, a dual-action polisher or random orbital polisher rotates and oscillates. The head rotates in a concentric circular motion and randomly oscillates in the spindle at the same time offering easier to handle, generating less heat, and safer for the surfaces.

 When was polishing compound invented?

The concept of polishing originated from a person named Menzerna from Germany in 1888, who invented the idea of polishing compounds and started producing different types of liquid, solid, and paste compounds.  Afterward, the polishing compounds were further developed for cars and used with car polisher machines in the US.

MaxShine Car Polishers for professional applications

MaxShine contributes 3 main categories of polishers today.  They were developed for professional detailing: enthusiasts, hobbyists, detailers, and anyone who likes to learn about car detailing.

MaxShine Rotary polishers

The MaxShine Rotary Polishers are classified by power wattages: 550W or 1000W, and a mini polisher system.

M550 Overview:  The M550 provides 550 Watts of power, and is lightweight and compact, which was developed for polishing small and hard-to-reach areas using 3″ polishing pads. Dimension and weights: 11.3(L) x 3.1(W) x 4.1(H), 4.11 LBS

M1000 Overview:  The M1000 provides a powerful 1000 Watts, and is a great choice for removing marks, scratches, and any heavy-duty buffing jobs.  It provides more power and larger coverage by using 1000W and 5″ inch pads. Dimension and weights:16.1(L )x 3.5(W )x 4.8(H), 5.48LBS
Mini Rotary Polishing System The Mini Rotary Polishing System is unique and has been designed for polishing small and shaped areas like headlamps, headlights, brake lights, emblems, and other interiors. It connects to the M550 and M1000W rotary polishers to function. Dimension and weights: 60.5(L) inch end-to-end length, 1 inch (W), 1.5 pounds

Rotary Polisher Model Comparison: M550 and M1000

Currently, MaxShine provides two models of rotary polishers for heavy-duty jobs. In this comparison, we will exclude the Mini Rotary Polisher System since the application of the Mini Rotary Polisher is limited as compared to other rotary polishers.

Cord Length	13 feet	13 feet

Dual Action Polishers

Before we begin exploring about MaxShine DA Polishers, we should look into the details of DA Polisher: orbit vs. rotational movement, and the impact of small orbit vs. large orbit size,  then compare the performance efficiencies between the 15mm vs. 21mm orbit size.

Orbit vs. Rotational Movement

Earlier in this article, we talked about the difference in movements between the rotary and DA polishers.  The dual-action polisher rotates and oscillates at the same time benefiting better heat dissipation and is safer than the rotary polisher. The oscillation movement is called the orbital movement, which is measured by the diameter of each orbit; there are many orbital movements in a DA polisher.

Impacts of Large Orbit vs. Small Orbit Size

The orbit size is different from one DA polisher to another. The smaller orbit and the larger orbit size have pros and cons, each contributing to the performance of an application.

Other contributing factors for polisher performance

The above tables are factors comparing characteristics of sizes and their attributes; however, there are other variables that directly impact polisher performances:

• Speed of the machine
• Pad material, sizes, and weights
• Polishing compounds
• User’s skillset

These are other known factors that are measurable and immeasurable; generally, the larger the orbit size, the more skillset is required.

MaxShine Dual Action Polishers

MaxShine offers 5 different models of DA polishers: M15Pro, M21Pro, M312, M8S V2, and Reaper. They are used in different types of applications and are uniquely designed to meet each application.  We will compare common models first, then will describe other models.
