Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Yeah, that's just craziness. I mean, how could you lean on Jason's shoulder, didn't he just get his arm out of a sling??

Other shoulder!!! No way I'd be doing anything to harm my good buddy Jason Rose!!!

Is the DTM feature going to give similar results as a forced rotation polisher?<object type="cosymantecnisbfw" cotype="cs" id="SILOBFWOBJECTID" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block;"></object>

No, not at all. Since it's a dual action polisher if you put it up on edge you can still stop rotation, just as you can with any other DA on the market.

I have been using the DA Microfiber System for about two years now with a GG6" and GG3" and it has served me well. Would you except better performance with this buffer and the new backing plates and foam pads with DA300, DA301, and DA302?

I hate comparing our products to the competition, but I can tell you from first hand experience running the GG6 side by side with this tool that you'll never want to use the GG6 again once you get your hands on the MT300. It is so much quieter, so much smoother, so much easier to control and it still cuts like crazy.

Hi Mike,
Excellent Job!!, really I like the new DA. When it'll be available and it'll come with the new backing plate ( 5" )/ new pads (cutting, polishing & finishing) as a package. What will be the expecting price for this package? However, despite I like the new look I would like to ask you this, after you alreday used it, what the main difference or advantages of the new DA compared to the Meg G110V2? both of them are 8mm throw - I know you provided some information above. Is any kind of forced rotation embedded in the new DA + the torque management. BTW, could you please post the video at SEMA that demonstrates the new DA in action? Just I would like to understand in more detail how this Tool being designed and what make it more steps above the G110V2 - Excellent Job Meguiars - Thanks

The MT300 is sold alone - no pads or backing plates. Compared to the G110v2 the MT300 is better balanced, more powerful (in terms of amps, which matters, and not watts, which doesn't), has a superior power management (ie Digital Torque Management versus Cruise Control) and is overall smoother in operation. Don't let the fact that both are 8mm stroke tools. The G110v2, GG6 and the PC7424XP are all 8mm stroke tools but the PC is much, much easier to bog down under pressure than those other two.

How does this compare to the rupes?

Shorter stroke, which makes if far superior when doing edge work, but still gobs of torque to keep the pad spinning even under heavy pressure.

I can't afford a Rupes or Flex, this interests me. I don't have a DA and will be needing one in a few months, so the release timing is about perfect. It's going to be between this one and the Torq, I'll read a few reviews and watch some YT videos and make my mind up. This looks pretty impressive from little bit I've read on it.

You are exactly the target market we had in mind with this tool. There is a very large gap, both in terms of price AND performance, between the existing crop of 8mm stroke tools and the "big guns" on the high end. It's a tough call for a lot of people to step up from a tool in the $150 range (all the existing 8mm tools) when the only options are in the $400 range - that's a big jump in cost. We wanted to fill that big void but keep pricing closer to the low end while providing power that leans toward the high end.

I'm usually pretty modest on these Thursdays, but there's no way I'm passing up a chance to get hands on with this new polisher. It's gonna be a great time. I hope someone brings the swirls!

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Looking forward to your inputs from this Thursday.

[Eldorado2k]

I see, I see.. I guess I'm just excited about being 1 of the 25 people who get to test out the new stuff this Thursday

How does this compare to the rupes?

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Guys, thank you but you're being way too kind. Quite honestly, and quite literally, I'm just doing my job - plain and simple. Admittedly I happen to love my job, in large part because of people like you. But let's make something clear here, please; Meguiar's is hosting TNOG , not me. I'm just the guy lucky enough to be there representing the company.

@Michael Stoops. Thank you very much for your great consideration in hosting this special post SEMA TNOG.. SEMA week is probably among the busiest weeks of work/travel for someone like you.. And for you to go the extra mile and host a special encore TNOG that includes the opprotunity to test out all the new goodies including a brand spanking new Meguiars polisher... Well that's what I call genuine Class.
You're the the man Senor Stoops! Your good heart and true consideration towards other's doesn't go unnoticed.. It Gleams! :doublethumbsup

Seconded! Must be hectic keeping up with all the new product releases and SEMA. Mike never misses in answering our questions and keeping us updated.

Your hard work is very much appreciated!

Thanks Mike!

Howdy Mike :waves
Great write up, and from what it looks like, great attention to detail by the masterminds at Meguiars in the production of this new polisher.

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

This is very cool!!

I am really liking the design of this new tool. Very ergonomically friendly and looks to be well balanced. I am also in love with the trigger and trigger lock. This is what I like to see in a polisher. Im sure this new offering is going to be a beast and can't wait to see more of it.

I think the 8mm throw will be plenty for this machine. This makes the tool VERY versatile in what you can do with it. What I would like to see or know is how this tool will perform with a 6" sanding disc attached to it....

Way to go Meguiar's!

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

No plans at the moment for 3" Xtra cut mf discs, sorry.

I would think the regular 3" microfibre cutting discs would have a strong enough cut factor due to their reduced size (therefore increased cut factor). Correct me if I am wrong but an xtra cut pad in 3" might be bordering on too potent for DA use.

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Seams like Meguiars built a DA that went after a perfect DA to go head to head with the rupes & Flex 3401 DA's.

I've used 9227 Makita's/ DeWalts 849's/ Great G100 DA. Have a HF Rotary & 6'' DA/ Flex 3401/ 7424XP/ GG 3'' DA and find myself using my 7424XP more often and if I need more cutting power I grab my M100 and cutting pads or DA disk's.

Trying to get my G100 DA back (stupid mistake getting rid of it) But I see a MT300 in my future, Have some great features That is going to make this DA one of the best if not the Best!

Thanks Meguiars for some Great New Products for This Coming Year!!!!
