Basic Meguiars G110v2 Assembly



Here's how you assemble your Meguiar's G110v2 after removing it from the box.

First, locate the backing plate and remove the rubber nut that protects the threads. Save the rubber nut in-case you ever choose to use a different backing plate to replace over the threads and protect them while the backing plate is not in use.

Note that the rubber nut also kept the Compression Washer from falling off the threaded shaft of the backing plate.

DO NOT LOSE THE COMPRESSION WASHER.

There is a wrench included with your Meguiar's G110v2, take the wrench and place it on the spindle inside the yellow housing to keep it from rotating when you install and tighten the backing plate.

Hold the backing plate as shown to attach the threaded shaft into the spindle without having the compression washer fall off.

After you get the backing plate threaded into the spindle tighten the backing plate till snug.

Next attach the D-Handle

Use both hand to expand the D-handle so that it will fit over the slotted portion of the head of the polisher.

Next use the included hex head wrench and hex head bolts to affix the handle to the polisher.

Tighten till firm...

Repeat to the other side...

Here is what your assembled G110v2 should look like...

Next attach the Velcro loop side of a Meguiar's foam buffing pad to the face of the backing plate with the attachment hooks...

And now you're ready to start creating flawless, show car results!

I just bought this unit a few weeks back from Auto Geek. The biggest trouble I am having is getting the Meguiars pads staying attached to the backing plate. On completely flat panels it's not much of an issue, however, when going over curves and what not the pads fly off of the backing plate. I was originally thinking it was a faulty backing plate so Auto Geek immediately sent me a replacement which has not proven much more effective. Do the Meguiar pads not have enough material for the hook and loop to grab and hold or am I doing something completely incorrect? I am following the neglected paint chart on the website for my 2005 Black F-250 Crew Cab, which has very few completely flat panels. So needless to say this project is taking me forever because I spend more time turning the G110v2 off to place the pad back on then, 30 seconds later, I'm doing it again. PLEASE, any information regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you very much!
