Meguiars New Polisher........

I agree. Maybe with all the competition, there will finally be one awesome machine.

Justin: if you ever get a chance to try the Festool 150, you'll find it to be the "awesome machine". There's a big Festool distributor in Atlanta...maybe he could let you evaluate it.

I was thinking about the Festool or the FLEX myself..
What do YOU use the Festool for Toto?

Also, does the pad fly off when you buff without the buffer being even to the paint like some of the other members have experienced?
 
more competition for udm and pc...that's a good thing
If it is an UDM relabel, or even if it is not an UDM relabel but it doesn't end up distinguishing itself significantly from PC/UDM in how it walks the walk, then it is IMHO not competition as much as overcrowding of the segment and irrelevant. If you eat chicken every day and want change in your diet you don't say "gimme that other chicken" you say "gimme steak".
 
I want a smooth 8k DA polisher and I would pay well for it! :)
There already is one, but it is not exactly to your specs, it has 9.6K plus forced rotation and price is not a stretch. It is called Flex XC 3401 VRG.

This is true for those that have been doing this for a while but for a new comer, this is where here niche is filled.

It's going to have a lifetime warranty too. My G100 failed me and I had a new one in less than 3 days after sending my old one in!

If it turns out to be more of the same (similar specs / similar vibrations) I do not see anybody benefitting from it (except Meguiar's, of course). We all know how lifetime warranties work. In my opinion casual users (which is majority of newcomers) do not use machine in a manner / intensity that should result in breakdown outside the first year. Those that will most likely have a need for it are ones that do this intensively. And those that do this intensively can be better off by looking at alternatives that would let them work faster and with less stress on the body as total "savings" of that is in my impression much higher than what would be of lifetime warranty.
 
The PC 7424 came with a 5 oz counter weight and the PC7667 comes with the 6 oz counter weight. Meguiar's didn't make their first machine so I doubt this one is made by them either. If it'd just another form of the UDM then they can keep it ...
Strange how Porter Cable would give them two model numbers when all that's differant is the counter wgt. which cost almost nothing right here on AG. Just seems to make more out of a small item like counter wgts. then needs to be. Oh well, it's probably just me.

It is just you. If you take a look at packaging content of PC7424 vs. PC7336SP you will realize difference in counterweight is not the only thing different. Every manufacturer out there gives two different part numbers and/or models to two different variations. Tool is just one part of it.
