WHY Speed Level 6 on the G110?

Re: WHY Speed Level 6 on the G110?

I actually find speed 6 a bit unruly and chaotic. I find I can get everything I need from speed 5. To each their own, I suppose.

Re: WHY Speed Level 6 on the G110?

OP, speed 6 won't do any harm to your paint and will only damage Meg's pads if used with pressure and many times... in other words, feel safe to give it a try and see if you like how it breaks down polish and corrects better than speed 5.

And please do note that the above is a recommendation by a member and his recommendation is not endorsed by Meguiar's, so if you follow their advice and have problems please contact them.

Thanks

Re: WHY Speed Level 6 on the G110?

I've been wishing for a while and I'm still staying optimistic that Meg's will improve on their old 8006/9006 pads as far as size and backing goes... no reason not to use a backing that spans the entire diameter of the pad and no reason not to supply the demand for smaller pads.. I just hope it happens soon.

Smaller pads probably remain on the drawing board, but Meguiars has released their new line of x207 pads (7" diameter) and W68DA backing plate (5.75" with a flexible outer rim). The backing plates on the new pads has improved durability and allows for machine washing.

Re: WHY Speed Level 6 on the G110?

There's simply too big of a difference in speed 5 and 6 on the PC and G110 for speed 6 to be left out.. speed 5 makes me work longer for the same results, and other than Meg's pads being cut into with the backing plate faster than at speed 5, there's no downside to speed 6.... yes a LC pad will work much better, not at correcting paint but at lasting a long time on the G110, speed 5 or 6, because of the better backing on the pad (better meaning larger).

I just used speed 6 on my PC earleir today while (surprisingly for the first time in the 3 or 4 years I have had it) sanding wood with it.

Worked like a champ

Re: WHY Speed Level 6 on the G110?

I've had good luck with my G100 at speed 5. With the increase in DA-approved products that provide more cut than previously before, the products are strong enough to get the good paint correction at speed 5, not speed 6.

For instance, I used D151 w/ G100 this past weekend and had really good results. Did it correct everything? No, but it did a good job.

Re: WHY Speed Level 6 on the G110?

Can someone please tell me WHY they even give you a Speed 6 on the G110 when they tell you NEVER to use that speed. [Is this like the one forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden]?

Might be there for the future!

Have you ever noticed we come out with new products, new technology?

Just recently we launched D151, earlier this year we launched M95, M105, M21 2.0, NXT 2.0, M135, UQD... these have all been introductions of *New* technology. Who knows what's around the corner?

LOL. If one day you should decide to channel either Dr. Emmett Brown or Master Detailer Kevin Brown, speed 6 will take you there!

Perhaps SPEED 6 will cause the Flux Capacitor to fail before you reach 88 mph

Re: WHY Speed Level 6 on the G110?

Why....

Instead of developing a motor from scratch, which would be very costly, we sourced one that best fit our needs, and implemented it into our new G110. This means we had to be sensitive to the higher OPMS's....With that said, we must comment on the following statements.

USE SPEED 6..

We, Meguiar's, do not recommend speed 6, so please be careful with the forceful recommendations, especially when posting in caps...

I never use anything but speed 6 when doing correcting work and I get so much better results than when I was stuck at 5..

So much better results.... If you are having success at only 6, please proceed, but we must caution everyone else with regards to this approach.

Seriously use speed 6 and if your Megs pads start to break up then just switch to the Lake Country Pads. the 5" and 5.5" Lake Country pads correct better anyway.

We get great results each week in classes, and have heard /witnessed raves about defect removal at speeds 5 and below. Therefore, we respect that you use speed 6 with Lake Country pads, but at this time, we by no means endorse the use of speed 6 of our dual action polisher with our pads.....

2 statements we live by and need to stress...

Always use the least aggressive method.

It is always to be safe than sorry.

Whoa....so you are saying that the stack of 30 pads I just ordered will be obsolete when megs comes out with "speed 6 rated" pads?



Sorry, just having fun with the cool smilies I do not have on other boards

Re: WHY Speed Level 6 on the G110?

Before I started using a rotary, I used to use speed 6 all the time on the PC. You can see some increased pad wear around the adhesive patch for the backing plate if you do it a lot. Simply it does a little more work a little bit faster. Its' not that big of a deal.

Just need a Flux Capacitor and MP3 player with bluetooth mind you for wireless music

Does the G110 run on 1.21 GIGAWATTS?!?!?

It might in the future!
