Surprised to see a meguiar's G100 at my work

[Nick Winn]

Greetings to all,

I still have my G100 (with original box) and was wondering if this unit uses/came with a compression washer to install when attaching the backing plate

I would imagine the answer is yes but let me double check and get back to you.

hi there,
so as long as the polisher is Meguiar branded (*i.e. G100 or G110) it has a life time warranty? (i'm debating on whether to buy PC 7424 or G110...)
it doesn't matter where you order it from?

G110 does not have a lifetime warranty. See Brian's repsonse above.

That is incorrect. The G110, not to be confused with the G100, is the only DA Polisher we now sell and comes with a 1 year warranty.

Yes, all G100's purchased directly from Meguiar's came with a lifetime warranty. If you purchased a similar machine (i.e. PC 7424) directly from Porter Cable or many other sources the manufacturer's 1 year warranty applied.

When purchased directly from Meguiar's the G100 was also packaged with a Meguiar's backing plate and polishing pad.

lol i got a little impatient with the customer service number at meguiar's....everytime I tried calling it will say something like at this time meguiar's is having a meeting or something call back at another time. I would try calling back and have no luck so I lost hope to even reach anyone.

I apologize for the trouble you had contacting us. We do from time to time have to shut down the phones for training or special meetings, but for the most part we are open 12 hours a day Mon-Fri, and on Saturdays for 8 hours. Sounds like this was just bad timing, but we are sorry for the inconvenience! If you need anything else please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Maybe Mike can clarify on this, but I was under the impression that all G100's from Meguiar's has the lifetime warranty?

Wasn't the warranty the only difference between buying a G100 vs. the PC branded unit?

wow and the best part about your g100 is that it's 14 yrs old and still kicking.

Not just that it's still kicking but I was detailing cars as a sideline during all that time, just retiring the business this year and must have done 3000 details in that time frame. With proper maintenance, the PC is one tough tool.

Re: Surprised to see a meguiar's G100 at my work

OK. So I found the original Meguiar's receipt for the "Concours Collection" which included the G100. It's dated 3/15/1995. So indeed the PC is really nearly 14 years old.

I ordered this from a 1994 Holiday Catalog.
