Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher
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.

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

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher
I know this machine's not even out yet, but 1 other question. Is there any possibility for HD model with a 25 foot heavier gauge cord in the works for down the road? I'm guessing this will have the standard fairly short regular gauge power cord. Either way even without reading any reviews, I'm about 99% sold on this being my 1st DA.

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher
I had a great experience using the MT300 Daul Action Polisher at SEMA this year, Meguiars was generous enough to let my team (The Ford Vehicle Car Care Team consisting of Kevin Brown, Jose Fernandez, Eric Muehlhaus, Ryan Sunok, and myself) and I use it to prep over 50 cars in the Ford booth this year. It's a well balanced machine that feels good in your hands, very smooth with lots of torque and pad rotation. The DTM works great when you need that extra power to muscle through more difficult paint defects. When using the MT300 with the new low profile foam discs there wasn't anything we could not handle.Detail Werks

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher
Definitely a nice balanced machine. Feels smooth and if anyone is familiar with the Griots Garage DA Polisher I don't believe it is louder than that so overall it's a great machine. I'll be making space in my tool box of polishers for this machine for sure. Great job Meguiar's!!!Jesse

As for noise, especially compared to that other tool, ours is a LOT quieter (according to SPL testing we've done in the garage) and vibrates a whole lot less.Michael Stoops

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher
Mr. Stoops,
How long is the cord?
Did the MSRP change? I swear the first time I read this thread it stated $199- $249 depending on retailer?
Brushes (and other replacement parts) to be stocked by your guys?
Many thanks!
