    been out of the game for awhile, whats my next D/A ??

    hey guys, life has gotten in the way for the last 5 or so yrs, and havent been around the detailing world.i was involved in detailing when Meg's 85,83,80, #7 was all the rave, and the new guys 105 and 205 were just being brought out.i have an older PC 7424 and a newer Hitachi Rotary which is smooth as butter.anyway, wondering whats the latest D/A game changer? fathers day is coming up !!!

    The latest and greatest would have to be:

    - Flex 3401 forced rotation DA;
    - Rupes 15 or Rupes 21 long throw DA's;
    - Meguiar's MT300 - a 'traditional' DA with loads more power than other 'traditional' DAs.

    And back!

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

      My polisher "fleet" includes

      1. Rupes Bigfoot 6-inch Random Orbital Polisher (RUP-LHR21ES) The long throw (21 mm) is awesome for long, flat panels.
      2. Meguiars MT300 Professional Dual Action Polisher (MEG-MT300) Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I couldn't pass it up at the Del Mar Nationals last month after reading so many positive reviews on it here.
      3. Makita 9227C Rotary Polisher (MAK-9227C) Still considered the king of direct drive polishers by many!

          Yes. Both the Rupes, and MT300 paired with Meguiars new thin foam pads, blow the PC out of the water. Again, while I haven't had a chance to put my MT300 to paint yet, I saw what it could do at a recent TNOG. Great new tool!

            MT300 > PC7424. It's a great machine. I highly recommend it.

                If you look for one D/A polisher to attack all types of detailing projects - I would recommend Meguiar's MT300.
