Dual-Action Polisher Info Needed

[rpickett]

Hi everyone, I am new to the Forums here at Meguiar's. I have been reading posts here for about 2 weeks and have found a lot of useful information. Thanks to all of you for that.

I do have some questions of my own if any one could help that would be great.

Can someone give more detail on the G-100a than what is listed on the Meguiar's Store site about the G-100a.

Does it come with the Dual-Action Polisher Backing Plates with the Velcro® backing system?

What Pads come with it?

Any other diff between the PC 7424 and the G-100a.

Thanks in advance for any input.

As far as I know the G-100A is the PC 7424. The only difference (as far as I know) is that Meg's comes with a lifetime warranty where Porter Cable's is only a year.

I can't tell you if it comes with the backing plate or any pads because I got mine elsewhere

The meguiars and porter cable are the same, the only difference is the Meguiar's logo and the warranty. The porter cable will run you about $130 with a one year warranty and the Meguiar's one is about $160 with a lifetime warranty! I had to drop $40 to get my DeWalt rotary fixed once so I figured the extra $30 is quite possibly well worth it in the long run. Plus, I've been told Meguiars sends you a new one upon reciept of the broken one! Don't quote me on this.

I recently bought mine, no backing plate with it. Had to buy them separately, but with the buffer, backing plate, a set of pads and a bottle of dual action cleaner polish I was just a tad over $230. But once you see the results it becomes worth it.

Thanks for the info

Rick where did you find the Meguiar's one for $160 it's listed for $225.95 on the web site.

You said the one you bought recently did not have the backing plates. Did you buy the Meguiar's one or another brand.

Check your PM, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post url's here or not.
