The tool test feature you mentioned, is referring to the Griot's 3rd generation or the Meguiar's G220V2? So do you prefer G220V2 over Griot's 3rd generation?

Thanks a lot for your time to explain. There are Flex and Rupes sold here. I hold and turn on the Flex 3401 on my hand before and I actually I can handle the machine. But the only reason that hinder me from actually purchasing it is the fact that the Flex 3401 only can use one plate. I will...

Hello. Thanks for the reply. I have wrote to Griot's Garage before and they said they do not produce the 3rd generation in 220V version. I will have to use a step up transformer if I wanted to use it. Kind of troublesome and not favorable by me. But if 3rd generation is available in 220V I have...

Some help? No RUPES or FLEX please.

Hi there. I am from country using 220V AC. If you were to choose between the following two DA polishers only, which one will you go for and why? 1) Meguiar's G220V2 4.2 AMP 430 Watt Motor 1800 - 6800 OPM 5/16" thread Cruise Control + Soft Start 1 yr warranty 2) Kestral DAS-6 Pro (almost...

OK from all the replies it seems like my feeling is right that it is a bad idea. What about touch-less steam washing? Will it induces swirl too? What I mean is, just blowing how steam vapor onto the paint surface, without wiping or any sort, just pure blowing. Will this action causes any...

Some local car wash guys start offering steam wash service in my area. Because there is a water rationing happening here for a month and might last longer than a month, such service starting to get attention. Just a question, does steam washing actually cause any swirl on the car paint? What...

Eih, that is odd because I visited Meguair's HQ in Subang last weekend, they selling the G220V2 at RM1650 with kit (2 foam pads, 1 backing plate, 1 compound liquid, bag, apron). But your PC7424XP is definitely a bargain price, including shipping and import duty tax just RM1000! If I am not...

Hi there I am from KL Malaysia too. Where did you purchased your PC7424XP ?

The reason I asked my question (1) in my last post is because I never seen a Rupes personally before. But guessing from your reply here, I think my 1st question is not applicable to Rupes 15 and 21 because instead of using a screw like other common DA polisher does, Rupes 15 and 21 use allen...

Some questions on Rupes 15 and 21: 1) What is the thread size of Rupes 15 and 21? 2) Common DA polisher like PC7424XP, we can change to different backing plate (brand, size 3", 4", 5", 6", etc) as long as the thread size is right. Can the Rupes 15 and 21 do the same? For instance has anyone...

I have a family car to be re-painted on its entire exterior surfaces soon. I am thinking to get the hardest possible clear coat for better scratch resistant protection (because the car is not taken care by me buy by someone else who does not know anything about detailing) and I come across this...

Bump into this old thread and have a question. Mike, you emphasize that it is near impossible to buff without leaving hologram using only rotary. But isn't this photo shows that you have successfully buff with rotary only without leaving hologram? The marring is from the wipe if I am reading...

Agree with you. Excellent brand with excellent customer care.

Perhaps someone in Meguiar's accidentally broke the unit under repairing and have no choice but to replace with a new one? Is that what you mean? But even if this is the case, having the willingness to replace a new unit still sounds very good to me.

Is it because you have purchase a lot of other products from Meguiar's when you send the machine back for repair? Or are you a regular Meguiar's customer? If no, then it is beyond best customer service.

Thanks bro, your words make me feel comfortable again :props: .

As a newbie in power tool for polishing, after reading your comment I need to think twice before jumping on to purchase the flex 3401 as my 1st power tool. Being a carpenter son, I used quite a lot of power tool for wood work and renovation. Just never tried a car polisher before. Have no idea...

I do not own a Flex but I do watch the video made by Mike Phillips on the Flex before. Mike marks a black mark on the flex backing plate like you said and with naked eyes it is impossible to see how fast or to count the rotations. In that video Mike has to use slow motion video to show us how...

How you know please tell :D
