  • My G220 has gone Phuttt! Any advice welcome...

    I bought my G220 probably not too long after they were first introduced in the UK. It's been used very sparingly ever since, usually for a few hours when I purchase a new car I'd say around 8 or 9 times in total - I know, that's shameful!

    Picked up a new car yesterday, an 18 month old Nissan GTR. The paint on these things is very soft and marks easily so I was going to spend some time with the G220 trying to improve it. Started it up and it immediately felt a little lumpy compared to normal. After 10 mins it stopped and so far I haven't been able to restart. I've done half the bonnet so it couldn't have happened at a worse time!!

    I'm aware the original ones had some issues. Is this something I may be able to get assistance from Meguiars on?

    Any advice welcome.

        No I haven't. But I've just tried tried the unit again and it came to life very lumpily for a few minutes before shutting down again. Jiggling the cord didn't make a difference.

              Either brushes or Cord. That is about the only problems or issues with your GV.

                  What problems are you talking about? I have not seen many complaints for months here unlike Porter Cable PC.
