This is a brilliant machine for the serious enthusiast. The festool shinex is very easy to use and comfortable to hold. I was using a Meguiars G220 dual-action orbital polisher for cutting and polishing but never quite achieved that mirror-like finish. I now have the Shinex and have been very pleased with the results. The Shinex makes compounding a breeze—reducing the time taken to work a compound and polish dramatically. I can now finish doing a whole car much faster than before. It is especially good if, like me, you have a car with hard paint like a Merc or BMW.
NB. Incomprehensibly, Festool does not sell the Shinex with a systainer. But talk to Mike to see what he would recommend you use.
