[mega]

hi

i read this articles "How to use the G-100 to remove swirls"
so id like to buy Makita BO5021 to use #80 and nxt wax


which foams do i need ? and how can i install the pads ?

If the diameter of the backing plate is not
bigger than 125 mm. you can use the Meg's
pads perfectly, they have velcro at the back
and you can put it onto your
backing plate just like that, you can use the
W9006 for applying your #80, and you can
use the same type ( new clean one ) for your
Nxt Tech Wax also

Most of these sanders like the one in your picture don't have the power to do what you want. They operate in the same manner as the G100/PC, but they just don't have the power to move the foam pad under pressure to remove small particles of paint which is how you remove defects.
