And it works AWESOME!!!!

Iv'e been using this walmart orbital and polishing by hand untill I saved enough for a DA. Well, the DA is definitely!!! the way to go:)

There's a spot on the hood of my practice car that I've hand polished a few times and it looks pretty decent, but the DA worked wonders on it!! ZERO swirl marks.... its AMAZING!!

Used Meg205, GG 6" orange pads

Congratulations!

There's a world of difference between a modern DA Polisher and what we call "Wax Spreaders".

Like this...

Congrats. The GG is a great machine and beats the heck out of anything you can do by hand.

Oh boy a kid and his toys! Congrats on the new machine. Mike that looks like the Waxcoa machine I used in the 80's to apply a paint sealant the dealership was selling called polyseal back in the polyglycoat days.

I got the 105 but haven't tried it yet. I only purchased 1 pad. I'm gonna be buying more next week so I don't cross contaminate my pads.

This is just the start of D/A or tool addiction! Don't be surprised if you want to buy more tools LOL!

Start stocking up on pads. After I got my PC and did my first correction, I really realized why I need so many pads. Can never have enough :)

Congratulations on your new machine,
A good choice. I was amazed at how much of a difference it made. Like the other guys have said, this is the beginning of a love affair
