Meguiar's MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Sounds like a fantastic tool and priced right, as well. Great explanation of why/how this tool is the way it is, and not a Flex 3401 or a Rupes.

Does it come with a backing plate?

See Mike's response.

No, no backing plate with the tool. As much as we'd like everyone to buy our new backing plate we know that any of you who currently work with a G110v2, Porter Cable, Griots, etc already have a backing plate and pads that you already use and love. Although, seriously, do yourself a big favor and pick up our new 5" foam discs ..... you'll love them!

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

According to your online stores 'picture' its showing the MT300 and a backing plate and 3 pads.. However no mention that it includes these outside the actual polisher.. Just want to make sure it comes as a kit for $249, rather than just the polisher.

Please advise..

Also the $25 shipping is a little extortionate (at least for me who's Amazon prime) When will this be available at other places such as Amazon ?

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

As far as I know only seat time with the MT300 has been at SEMA and Meguair's training facility, otherwise they are still in production/or transit. Latest estimate of actual shipping to end users/early adapter was supposed to be mid March.

Almost breaks my heart but had -12 degrees this morning and still have about 5 feet of snow on ground so it will still be a while before I would be able to put it to work. Was almost ready to pull trigger on Flex when this popped on the scene and for the price thought I'd give it go. Meanwhile I've let a couple used Flex's pass by waiting for this.

Michael has very strong encouragement to hang in and says it is worth the wait, lots of positive feedback for detailing classes that have had a chance to give it a whirl.

Kind of hoping after waiting over 3 or 4 months they soup it up a bit for the extended wait, I mean some token of extra's is still less expensive than air freighting stock in to fill existing orders............

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Anyone get some seat time with the MT300? I am thinking of purchasing a new machine, currently have a PC and GG, not looking to break the bank on a Rupes because I am part time. Is the MT300 a nice step up from the GG? I want to use my PC with a brush attachment, my GG with a 4 inch BP and the MT300 with a 5 inch BP. Any feed back would be appreciated.

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Michael my order for the MT300 was 12/13/14. Fortunately still under almost 7 feet of snow at this moment so I can wait another couple weeks but I sure do hope I can get my hands on it sooner rather than later.

Hi Michael,

We know that a lot of you guys have pre-ordered an MT300 and are getting a bit impatient for it, but trust us, the wait is well worth it. We had our first Saturday class of the year this past weekend and everyone was raving about this tool, whether first time DA users or current owners of other brands of DA.

I'm not trying to ask you hard question but we do you mean by:but trust us, the wait is well worth it.
Is that mean may be you add more improvement to the design. Thanks.

Sure wish I could've gotten one for $175 . Auto geek made it so discounts wouldn't work with it.

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Just got the status call from the rep at Autogeek. Looks like the shipment date has been delayed until the first week in March.

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Looks like DI is now saying the estimated ship date will be in mid-March! That's one wicked slow boat from China...
