Ok,I assume the w670a is the standard backing plate that comes with the G110?

The backing plate that comes with the G110 is our W67DA

Also, 2 last questions;

-1) what is the advantage of the new backing plate?

W68DA G110/G220 Dual Action Polisher Backing Plate

Tailor made to enhance the buffing feel and finish results when used with Meguiar’s Soft Buff 2.0 Pads

• Precisely tuned outer edge for ideal pad contouring over flat and curved surfaces
• Long lasting, one-piece molded construction
• Perfect centering when used with Meguiar’s Soft Buff 2.0 Pads

It's also more flexible.

Not sure what you're working on but for what it's worth, you can tackle just about anything under the sun except projects where the best tool for the job is actually a rotary buffer with the G110, 2-6 W-8006 Foam Polishing Pads or W-8207 Foam Polishing pads, one or two scratch and swirl mark removers and a finishing pad and a wax of your choice.


It doesn't have to be complicated and it shouldn't be complicated.

No, one is 6" and not washable, the other is 7" and is washable.

Same foam formula.

Ok, and I assume the 2.0 is the one that 7" and washable?

Also, will the conventional W67DA backing plate that comes with the G110 work with the 2.0 pads?

Re: Which pads to buy?

Ok great! I read all those links.

Thanks Mike that was very helpful.

Another quick question, while reading all those helpful links you provided, I sidetracked and also read some thread where some people mention "misting" their pad with QD before applying the product to the pad. Do you suggest this? Or simply put the product straight onto the pad and get to work?

Thx

Guess what? There's a thread just for that questions. We have a forum group called Hot Topics, which is filled with common or popular and even hot topics and this is a topic or question that a lot of people have thus there's at thread about it in the Hot Topics forum group.

While the subject line lists M105 and M205 the principal applies to any paint care product in Meguiar's line of products.
