Dynabrade, the global market leader in pneumatic tools, developed the DB8E together with renowned detailer Renny Doyle. This forced-rotation dual-action polisher sets new standards in professional paint correction. We at Chemical-Shark.de extensively tested the machine in everyday professional use. The result: an exceptionally smooth-running, powerful and simultaneously precise polisher that meets the highest demands, from ambitious enthusiasts to professionals. Unprecedented Smoothness – Forced Rotation Redefined The Dynabrade DB8E combines forced rotation with a state-of-the-art composite drive system and efficient cooling. It operates with extremely low vibration, offers enormous torque and can be used as a true all-round machine from cutting to finishing. Ideal for one-step applications, suitable for both ultra-hard and sensitive paint finishes, and particularly easy to control thanks to its 6.8 mm throw. Extremely low-vibration operation despite forced rotation All-round machine from cutting to finishing State-of-the-art composite drive system with efficient cooling Ideal for one-step applications Suitable for hard and sensitive paint finishes Controlled handling thanks to the 6.8 mm throw Maximum Control and Consistent Performance Forced-rotation dual-action polishers have traditionally been considered powerful, but often rough-running. The DB8E impressively disproves this assumption. Its specially developed drive system significantly minimizes vibration and ensures exceptionally smooth and precise operation. Even with soft finishing pads, the machine remains stable and controllable. Especially during one-step corrections or when polishing sanding marks, it impresses with its direct response and highly consistent power delivery. Efficient Cooling for Maximum Cutting Performance Thanks to its sophisticated cooling technology, the temperature at the pad and machine head remains consistently low. Particularly in combination with microfiber pads, Microwool or hybrid wool pads, the DB8E delivers impressive cutting performance. Cutting power can be further increased by applying targeted pressure without thermally overloading the system. At the same time, the finish remains clean and controllable – a decisive advantage when working on modern, sensitive clear coats. Clockwise Forced Rotation for Professional Use A practical detail is the clockwise forced rotation. While many forced-rotation dual-action polishers from other manufacturers rotate counterclockwise, most rotary machines and free-spinning dual-action polishers rotate clockwise. Since polishing pads adapt to a direction of rotation during use, switching to the opposite rotation can cause vibration and unstable operation. The Dynabrade DB8E completely avoids this problem and allows flexible use of existing pads in professional applications. Perfect Pad Combinations for Cutting and Finishing For maximum results, we recommend high-performance pads from Detail Passion and Lake Country. From powerful cutting to high-gloss finishing, different paint conditions can be treated efficiently and with excellent control. Particularly recommended are shape-retaining foam pads for strong defect correction and fine-pored finishing pads for a hologram-free final result. Combined with the DB8E, they create a perfectly matched system for professional paint refinement.

The FLEX PXCE polishing machine combines three different operating modes in one machine: rotary polishing, random orbital polishing with free rotation and random orbital polishing with forced rotation. The 535578 set already includes the various interchangeable drives, several backing plates, batteries and a charger. This gives you an especially versatile system for almost all polishing tasks – from targeted sanding and intensive defect correction to a hologram-free high-gloss finish. Comprehensive FLEX PXCE 18-EC complete set Rotary, free-spinning random orbital and forced-rotation operation in one machine 3, 6 and 12 mm random orbital throws 6 mm forced-rotation throw 30, 50 and 75 mm backing plates included in the set Tool-free quick-change system 18 V battery system for cordless operation 2 x 2.5 Ah battery packs included CA 12/18 charger included Intuitive touch panel for speed adjustment Integrated three-stage LED light with 2,500 to 6,500 K Brushless motor for high efficiency and long service life Ideal for professional vehicle preparation, paint shops and detailing The new generation after the well-known FLEX PXE 80 The FLEX PXCE 18-EC is the logical development and successor to the well-known FLEX PXE 80 mini polisher. The successful principle of a compact machine with interchangeable drives has been transferred to the powerful FLEX 18 V platform in the PXCE and expanded with additional applications. The proven FLEX PXE 80 remains available and is particularly interesting for users looking for an especially small and lightweight machine for intricate work. By contrast, the FLEX PXCE is aimed at users who want to cover a significantly wider range of tasks with a single cordless tool. Thanks to different backing plate sizes and drive types, the machine can be used on small, hard-to-reach paint areas as well as larger sections. The Super Set 535578 for maximum flexibility The major advantage of the FLEX PXCE 18-EC Set 535578 lies in its extensive scope of delivery. While the basic version 535577 is supplied with selected components only, set 535578 contains the various drives for rotation, free-spinning random orbital operation and forced rotation, as well as different backing plates. Batteries and a charger are also included in the set. This means that the full potential of the FLEX PXCE can be used virtually straight away. This is particularly interesting for professional detailers: instead of having to use several separate machines for different work steps, the PXCE can be adapted to the task at hand by quickly changing the drive. This provides the right operating mode for heavier defects as well as for small paint areas, complex contours or the final finish. Three drive types in a single FLEX polishing machine The FLEX PXCE polishing machine combines three fundamentally different polishing principles. In rotary mode, the backing plate rotates directly and provides high correction performance. In free-spinning random orbital mode, the machine combines an oscillating movement with particularly controllable polishing characteristics. In addition, a 6 mm forced-rotation random orbital drive is available, in which the backing plate rotation is actively driven. This combination allows the PXCE to be used for a wide variety of paint conditions and processing steps. Especially in professional detailing, this enables an efficient workflow, as in many cases only the drive or backing plate needs to be changed. Rotary operation for maximum, precise correction For rotary work, the FLEX PXCE provides direct power transmission and is therefore ideally suited to demanding correction work. Depending on the backing plate used, small paint defects can be treated with great precision or larger sections can be processed efficiently. Backing plate sizes of 30, 50 and 75 mm are possible for rotary work. The compact design offers particular advantages on bumpers, mirror caps, A- and B-pillars, spoilers, door sill areas and other complex vehicle parts. Free-spinning random orbital operation with a 3, 6 or 12 mm throw As a free-spinning random orbital polisher, the FLEX PXCE 18-EC can be used with different throws. The set contains the corresponding drives for 3, 6 and 12 mm random orbital throws. This allows the machine's behavior to be precisely adjusted to the task at hand. A short throw is particularly suitable for controlled work on small or complex surfaces. The larger 12 mm throw, on the other hand, enables more efficient processing of suitable paint areas. This allows the machine to be used both for defect correction and fine finishing work. Forced-rotation random orbital operation with a 6 mm throw Another special feature is the forced-rotation random orbital drive with a 6 mm throw. Unlike a free-spinning random orbital drive, the rotation of the polishing pad is actively driven. This means the movement is maintained even under load. This makes forced rotation particularly interesting for demanding areas and users who want a combination of good correction performance and an orbital polishing movement. Backing plate sizes of 30, 50 and 75 mm can be used in forced-rotation mode. This also allows this operating mode to be flexibly adapted to the size of the respective paint area. Tool-free quick-change system The innovative quick-change system of the FLEX PXCE allows the different drives to be replaced without additional tools. This concept is what turns the compact cordless polisher into an especially versatile polishing system. Switching between rotary, free-spinning random orbital and forced-rotation operation can be carried out quickly. This saves time in everyday work and reduces the number of machines required. This flexibility is a major advantage, especially during complete vehicle preparation, where surfaces of different sizes and different types of defects need to be treated. 30, 50 and 75 mm – for small details and larger surfaces With different backing plate sizes of 30, 50 and 75 mm, the FLEX PXCE set covers a wide range of vehicle preparation applications. Small plates allow very precise work in tight and angled areas, while the 75 mm plate enables much more efficient processing of larger sections. This makes the FLEX PXCE suitable for mirror caps, door handles and handle recesses, bumpers, narrow pillars, spoilers, door sills and many other areas where conventional large polishers reach their limits. Intuitive touch panel and controlled machine start The speed of the FLEX PXCE 18-EC is adjusted via an intuitive touch panel. A lock function prevents accidental activation. The machine also features a variable-speed trigger that enables a slow and controlled start. This allows the machine to be positioned in a controlled manner and the polish to be distributed evenly across the surface. For longer polishing jobs, the switch can be locked for continuous operation. The combination of electronic control and ergonomic operation makes the PXCE suitable for both short detailing work and longer polishing processes. Integrated LED light with three color temperatures An LED light with three settings and a color temperature of 2,500 to 6,500 Kelvin is integrated directly into the machine. This provides additional illumination of the paint surface during work. The different color temperatures make visual inspection easier on different paint colors and under varying lighting conditions. Good lighting is particularly important during finishing or when checking previously treated paint areas in order to identify any remaining polishing marks or defects. Brushless motor and optimized motor concept The FLEX PXCE uses a brushless motor that combines high efficiency with a long service life. A newly developed motor concept is designed to minimize noise and vibration. This improves operating comfort, especially during longer periods of use. The Electronic Management System (EMS) protects the machine, extends its service life and increases efficiency. Optimally positioned SoftGrip surfaces allow different grip positions and support safe, controlled guidance of the polishing machine. Technical data of the FLEX PXCE 18-EC Despite its extensive range of applications, the FLEX PXCE remains compact. The machine operates with the FLEX 18 V battery system and achieves the speeds and orbit rates required for correction and finishing work, depending on the operating mode.
