Ok Geeks, been researching (On Paper) these and finally got down to the bone marrow; which do you recommend?
The MT 300 came out about 4-5 months ago and everyone was talking about the many many reviews forthcoming; And......? Basically Crickets.
There's some serious experts on these threads with years of experience that I'm sure have handled both. :props: And I want to Tap Into :xyxthumbs: if you don't mind. Please don't let me hold you back from weighing in.
It depends on your needs, right? Ok....
I'll be using the polisher mainly for jeweling and applying wax/sealants to my personal vehicles (1 Hard/ 1 Soft Paint)....2-4x/year. However, the possibility of using it a total of 6-10 x year (moderate swirls/scratches/water-bug etching, ect) is in the mix.
The Lifetime Warranty of the GG 6" is going off like a Cow Bell with Dolby Surround Sound.
I'd like some flexibility with MF Pads for correcting (if need be) and Megs MF appears to be @ the top of the pack here, but I'd also like to have supreme flexibility with low profile foams (not only Megs Pads) ---- LC Hydro-Techs (Tangerine/Crimson) to correct/finish. Currently waiting on the NEW Buff and Shine Pads to be released and REVIEWED before I make the call.
Yes, it appears I've gotten away from the subject....but hold on. The reason I brought the pads up (MF/Foam) is that the "hook and loop" (Errr...."Velcro") with the Megs Backing Plate ( W67DA or the new DBP5) is Unique and Specifically Designed for the Megs MF and Foam Pads. So, if I wanted to use LC or Buff and Shine Foams to finish I don't want to be fumbling around changing Backing Plates.
It also appears Megs has a 3" Backing Plate and 3" MF Pads, Great!! How about 3 in Foam Pads from Megs for finishing??
Is it me cause I'm getting this feeling of being trapped into a system?http://www.worthychristianforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/noidea.gif
I also ran across a couple posts that mentioned MT 300's sweet spot is with their 5" Backing Plate.
It appears both will get the job done. Let's Itemize:
1. Price Point: GG 6"
2. Warranty: GG 6" <---- This is somewhat HUGE.
3. Power: Basically a wash.
4. Flexibility w/ Pads and Backing Plates: GG6"
5. Ergonomics: Purpotedly: MT 300
6. Vibration: Purpotedly: Mt 300
It also appears I answered my own question(s) writing this out but I may be mistaken in aspects of my assessment; if so, please don't hesitate to set me straight.
I'm also not bashing in any way/shape or form Meg's...I Love and Use alot of their Products, Top Shelf IMO.
I'll hold here for now but I would Strongly Prefer to have 1 machine to get the job done being that I'm not trying to start or run a detailing business; So, for tight areas/pillars ect does the 3.5" Backing Plate/Pads or 2 7/8" Backing Plate/Pads work with the GG"6 inch? Am I "off the reservation"? (Rhetorical). Adapters (which specifically)?? Obviously not going above Speed 3 or so.
Got roughly 3628 more questions but I'll put those in the hopper for another time :xyxthumbs:
For now, please try and hold back from: "Just get a...Flex/ Rupes/ Boss" et al ...maybe when I grow up, I'm 52 :cool:
Appreciate any feedback :props:
