Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

It sure did change man I was looking foward to it being $200 since I'm looking into buying a DA polisher, it's $250 for the pre-order on autogeek. Now I dont know if I should get it, the GG6 is catching my eye now for the price since its cheaper.

The link to detailing.com The Guz posted has it listed at $219.97. Maybe that's close enough to your $200 ideal to sway your decision back to the Meguiar's machine?

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

@Dellinger. I didn't have a tape measure on me, but the cord is noticably longer than other machines.. For example, my HF DA has a 6.5' cord. I'd guess the cord on this new MT is about 9' long maybe 10'

It's a 16 gauge cord on the new MT300.

Mike Stoops did mention 9' cord. It's substantially longer than a cord on a PC.

For those that want to pre-order

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Did the MSRP change? I swear the first time I read this thread it stated $199- $249 depending on retailer?

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Mike I have to thank you, Mike Pennington and Meguiar's for discussing and demoing some of the new 2015 products to a lucky few of us. The MT300 feels good in the hands. Nicely balanced and it just feels good in the hands. Guys you will be very happy with this DA. A definite upgrade over the PC or G110V2.

The pads are also great. I have nothing but good things to say about the construction of the pads and how well they work.

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Mr. Stoops, will the polisher come with a duffel bag/carry case like the G110V2 does?

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!

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!!!

Thanks for that, 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.

Re: MT300 Dual Action Polisher

Well, if Derek likes it that much, that's a pretty solid endorsement!

Yes, it was a blast working with some of the best in the business

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.

That's quite the powerhouse team you assembled Derek! I bet the Fords never looked so good!

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.

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.
