    Great review as always.
    You never leave any stone unturned on a review.
    That flex is pricey but I’m sure well worth it.
    When I bought my Rupes LHR MKIII,pullithe trigger on the price was a little painful but no regrets now.
    This flex will be the same scenario.
    Please keep the videos coming.

    Great video Eric. I got my PXE-80 a while ago and I also got the APS upgrade kits from Detail Division including the extension bars and the 2 inch backing plate and they also have another extension car that allows for those micro polishing pads with the little pin on the end like on those micro stick polishers that attach to the rotary's which is a great attachment I highly recommend anyone who has this machine purchase. Makes it so nice to just pop one of those little pads into the attachment and polish away cordless and not have to attach the stick polisher to a rotary which is cumbersome and takes time. Great for areas you need to micro polish like behind door handles, etc. which isn't often, but when you need it, you will be so glad you have it. I love my PXE-80 and I use it the most of my six different polishers. I have even polished my entire car with my PXE-80 with no problem, it just takes a little more time than with a 5 inch. I also apply all my waxes and sealants with the PXE-80 and a red waxing pad and it works FANTASTIC for that application. It's almost worth it to buy it for that reason alone. It cut's down on your wax/sealant application significantly! You can get around the entire vehicle in no time and in my opinion it does a better job than by hand because you are burnishing in the wax or sealant slightly which to me seems to do a better job. The PXE-80 is without a doubt one of the very best cordless mini polishers out there. Add the 2 inch backing plate from Detail Division. The PXE-80 is one of the very best micro polishers available today and with the great attachments from APS at Detail Division, you'll have everything you need to tackle most polishing jobs. If you can only buy ONE machine and it was between the PXE-80 or a 5 inch DA or DA long throw. I would definitely recommend the PXE-80 because you can use it for all your polishing needs. If you can afford TWO machines, I would get this one and a 5 inch 15mm DA and you'll be set for all the polishing you will need to do on a vehicle!

Makes the pxe80 a hell of a machine! I love it! Applying waxes for sure is easy with cordless.. really speeds up the process! All in all just a fantastic unit that I'd recommend to anyone in the detailing game! Appreciate your thoughts and glad you love it just as much as me! Take it easy my friend!✊️🤙

    Hey buddy, first off, I love your channel. I’d been on the fence about buying this product for a while now, but watching your review sealed the deal. Keep the videos coming. I went ahead and purchased the APS package too so that I can use cone pads for those annoying impossible to reach areas and to get the other extension and 2” backing plate. Hopefully this will increase my quality as well as efficiently.

    Hey Bud. I was thinking.
    If you put the 1” backing plate on and a polishing pad with some PapaCut on it you can use it to polish your front teeth. The 12mil da might be a bit hard on the gums so the rotary option would be preferable. Polishing customers teeth can be a free upgrade if they get a detail. Or,,,,,, teeth polishing can be a side hustle. 🧐😉😂
    Joking aside, excellent demonstration of the tool. By-the-way, a good quality tool that doesn’t let you down is totally worth the cost.

    Eric. Great review brother. I've going back and forth on this. I want something to polish my gloss black wheels and and a windshield here and there. I wish they made a cone adapter for my G8, but man the PXE80 is a beast. Thing is I'd only used is a few times a year. Any advice here?

      Thank you my friend! I went back and forth so well, and although I got a good deal I think it's still worth it! However I know it's a steep price! Shinemate has there version! Cheaper and I think might be up your alley! Check this out!

    Love mine too! Just wish I can get my hands on a European hard case systainer, the bag makes no sense to me. All the stuff is just thrown in there banging everything up. Scored big time on mine, Ebay bid for $310! 👍🏻. The accessory extension to use cone pads is awesome as well from APS. Which 2” pad where you using in rotary? Where did you get the small clear storage case, is that from a Detail Division as well? Thx

      Really? Your bag doesn't have pockets?? Mine has pockets for both batteries and all my accessories.. polisher and charger in center. Works well for me. 🤔🤔 310 that's definitely a score man!!!! Yes I need that cone accessory too! The 2" pad is the Griots BOSS 2inch pad.. I believe there is a link to it in description 🤙🤙 I also have the Rupes Yellow 2" pads and they are great on it as well.
