Thoughts on ShineMate EX620 Long throw polisher

[Coatingsarecrack]

The shinemate 620 has been around for well over 6mths and i have never seen anyone mention it doesn't stall. I suspect any free spinning polisher can stall.

It gets good reviews however. I'm not a professional but i doubt i would get a rupes if i was. Considering the price as you know. You can buy 2 machines, a 5 inch and 3 inch, for the price of one rupes 15mm or 21mm.

3 inch machines are really neat for tighter spots.

My 2 cents..

Exaclty what I did and got and old Griots G15 and a SK mini. All cars have been coming out great! Can’t imagine i’d get better results with a Rupes.

If i were going to buy a high dollar machine it be a Flex gear driven.

Me too. It would be a flex gear driven if i was going to pay that kind of money.

Love my cordless Flex CBeast and Pixie. Less so on the Flex Cordless Finisher as it stalls quite a bit on body lines. Love not having to deal with a cord.

Food for thought...

About a year ago I bought a Rupes Mille and while the no-stall characteristic of it, or any gear-driven, is really nice, I have found my old free-spinning MT300 to finish out nicer using the same polish and same pad.

So if speed is your objective, especially in the stall-prone areas, then by all means a gear-driven machine is the winner. But if achieving the absolute best finish is your primary objective stick with the free-spinning DA, and an 8mm one at that.

To add another thought to 2black1s's post above....I definitely agree with him but the gears can be taken out of the gear driven Da's to make them free spinning....

So imo buy a gear driven and take the gear out when needed or leave the gear out and put the gear in when needed.
