Maxshine M550 Rotary Polisher | 550W Motor, 3” Backing Plate, 6-Speed, 5/8” Thread | Compact Detailing Buffer for Auto, Boat & Marine Paint Correction, Swirl & Scratch Removal, Glossy Finish

I've seen some reviews talking about "tons of vibration" and saying "it's so loud!" Hearing these things I wasn't sure what to expect, especially being that it's a value priced polisher...But I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. It's far quieter than my Flex 3401, Rupes LHR21, and even the Chemical Guys Torq 10fx. So on the noise side of things, I'm curious if those complaining have spent hours behind a polisher. It is also compact and easy to handle, coming with a 3 inch backing pad it's easy to get into tight spaces and get good correction.I used it for the first time today on 3 vehicles to knock out some scratches and a bumper scuff. After wet sanding, this little polisher brought the finish right back up and you can hardly tell the car backed into a light pole.For the price you can't really go wrong, whether you're a pro looking for an inexpensive compact rotary or a newbie trying their hand at some paint correction. Well done!

One thing that I don't particularly care for on any Maxshine buffers or polishers is that they use the cheapest grease available. Maybe the manufacturers don't want them to last long. However these Maxshine rotories and DA polishers are very affordable, light weight, perform very well and I put a larger backing plate on this little rotory and it runs like a champ. They are ergonomic, so it's easy to use for long periods of time without feeling exhausted. This little M 550 is very quiet if you are using it at low speeds for jeweling or buffing out 2000 grit sanding marks. I could almost buy two of these M 550 for the price of a high dollar German made mini rotory. These have a great warranty from the manufacturer and Flex doesn't

Definitely great quality compared to cheaper Rotary polishers. Big difference is that it's much quieter, feel very balanced and its light. The trigger is so much smoother as well as the speed progression. You can get the cheaper ones but you won't regret spending a little more to get a much better experience! Only wish they would include a pad so you could get started right away.

I detail boats for a living and have five rotary buffers from another brand that are work horses.Needed another one and checked on YouTube to see what was new in the market and came across a video of the boat detailer reviewing the maxshine rotary, the green one.Decided to buy it, when I pulled it out of the box seemed a bit heavy but actually is very well balanced in my opinion because did not feel the weight when buffing vertical surfaces (hulls) and smooth and powerful.But within a week a burning smell and when pressed against the surface it sounded like a train, I returned it, a maxshine rep told me that it was a bad bearing.I wish they fix the issue, if it happens I will definitely get another one.

The media could not be loaded. This polisher has became one of my favorites, by no means a professional but by no means am I a novice at polishing/buffing the weight and ease of movement give a perfect balance for use either if you are cutting or polishing, the polisher also has withstood many heavy paint corrections and has not skipped a beat I consider that awesome build quality 👍🏼

Nice machine light weight compared to some of the well known brands. Like the speed range as well.

After about 2 cars worth of polishing, the plastic casing cracked at the seem, and when polishing it makes grinding noises from the bottom half and sends little pieces of metal from the air vent near the chord. Sad.

I would give this rotary 10 stars if I could. It’s worth every penny. Machine runs so smooth and is so quite, especially coming from a Harbor Freight rotary. My wife and I own and operate a part time detailing business. We mainly use the rotary on boats gel coats. I wish I would of purchased this machine months sooner. Paired with a wool pad and a heavy compound of your choice. This combo is incredible at removing 2000 grit sanding marks with ease. Machine never ran hot, and runs so smooth and quite. A must have when working on gel coat. ShineMaster knocked this one out of that park.
