Meguiar's MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Last night Jason Rose and I were doing a demo with the tool to show off the amount of torque: he set it at 5800 OPM and leaned on it, literally putting his body weight into it, and was able to maintain pad spin. I then leaned over Jason and put more pressure down on his shoulder, which was directly over the tool, and the pad was still spinning, albeit quite slowly. But there is no situation in real life paint polishing where you would ever subject the tool (or the paint for that matter!!!!) to that kind of pressure.

Yeah, that's just craziness. I mean, how could you lean on Jason's shoulder, didn't he just get his arm out of a sling??

Seriously though, I predict this machine is going to be in short supply, I hope your partner has plenty of capacity.

Is the DTM feature going to give similar results as a forced rotation polisher?<object type="cosymantecnisbfw" cotype="cs" id="SILOBFWOBJECTID" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block;"></object>

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Sounds like it would be perfect for tighter areas where a 21 mm throw is just too much and other 8 mm throw DAs don't have enough power. License plate areas and bumpers for example.

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

I have been using the DA Microfiber System for about two years now with a GG6" and GG3" and it has served me well. Would you except better performance with this buffer and the new backing plates and foam pads with DA300, DA301, and DA302?

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

There is no doubt that this tool has more torque and power than the G110v2 or any other DA in that class. When coupled with the new thin foam cutting disc I have yet to run this tool much above 5800 OPM for any length of time as I simply don't need to. This week in our booth at SEMA we are removing 3000 grit sanding marks from a Mercedes SLS AMG with relatively hard paint. We are using D300 on the new cutting pad and we still are not going over 5800 OPM, and we are removing those sanding marks in one section pass. Remember, the tool will run up to 7500 OPM, so we've got plenty in reserve.

Wow, that's saying something, I look forward to it's release. Btw.. Any chance of releasing the MF Xtra-Cut Discs in the 3" size in the future? I'm too afraid to cut one up for the sake of ruining it. Thanks for the response!

No plans at the moment for 3" Xtra cut mf discs, sorry.

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Seams like Meguiars built a DA that went after a perfect DA to go head to head with the rupes & Flex 3401 DA's.

I've used 9227 Makita's/ DeWalts 849's/ Great G100 DA. Have a HF Rotary & 6'' DA/ Flex 3401/ 7424XP/ GG 3'' DA and find myself using my 7424XP more often and if I need more cutting power I grab my M100 and cutting pads or DA disk's.

Trying to get my G100 DA back (stupid mistake getting rid of it) But I see a MT300 in my future, Have some great features That is going to make this DA one of the best if not the Best!

Thanks Meguiars for some Great New Products for This Coming Year!!!!

I would think the regular 3" microfibre cutting discs would have a strong enough cut factor due to their reduced size (therefore increased cut factor). Correct me if I am wrong but an xtra cut pad in 3" might be bordering on too potent for DA use.

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Hi Mike,
Excellent Job!!, really I like the new DA. When it'll be available and it'll come with the new backing plate ( 5" )/ new pads (cutting, polishing & finishing) as a package. What will be the expecting price for this package? However, despite I like the new look I would like to ask you this, after you alreday used it, what the main difference or advantages of the new DA compared to the Meg G110V2? both of them are 8mm throw - I know you provided some information above. Is any kind of forced rotation embedded in the new DA + the torque management. BTW, could you please post the video at SEMA that demonstrates the new DA in action? Just I would like to understand in more detail how this Tool being designed and what make it more steps above the G110V2 - Excellent Job Meguiars - Thanks

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

This is very cool!!

I am really liking the design of this new tool. Very ergonomically friendly and looks to be well balanced. I am also in love with the trigger and trigger lock. This is what I like to see in a polisher. Im sure this new offering is going to be a beast and can't wait to see more of it.

I think the 8mm throw will be plenty for this machine. This makes the tool VERY versatile in what you can do with it. What I would like to see or know is how this tool will perform with a 6" sanding disc attached to it....

Way to go Meguiar's!

Well that's what I call genuine Class.

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Guys, thank you but you're being way too kind. Quite honestly, and quite literally, I'm just doing my job - plain and simple. Admittedly I happen to love my job, in large part because of people like you. But let's make something clear here, please; Meguiar's is hosting TNOG , not me. I'm just the guy lucky enough to be there representing the company.
