www.meguiars.com you'll be able to view the whole range. DC range like seech said, hand apps only. for rotary work can go for M80, M83, M 105 etc. if i'm not mistaken, there's the new swirl remover [ not in the mirror glaze line ] that works either by hand or DA [ dual action polish, maybe the Bosch gex range can be used but i forgot the part number, it's the one that rotates and oscillates methinks, with adjustable speed ].
but i tell u, hand apps one ah, u really have to work it! in the long run, it's better to start off with a DA as it's cheaper compared to a makita 9227C lolz.
the M8* range is going to be obsolete soon...mirror glaze is kinda out now..as they are Abrasive diminish ...even before they can break it down it dries up & cause alot of marring ...more over it is worst if u r in Malaysia..(except M 80 but there is any hardly cutting power & cakes up easily) ....in replace with that Megs came out M105/205.......last yr....since then we have use gallons of it...but the problem is this....the SMAT (small micro abrasive technology) has longer working time, but not out door like under under canopy or car porch ...the atmosphere will dries it up too & still plenty of dust (residues) flying here and there
I did a porsche last sat..started with M105 ..cuts well bit ended up alot of hologram...i change it to spray compound & works prefectly under the heat & 3x longer working time & finish better..
DA [ dual action polish, maybe the Bosch gex range ....is Not a DA it is a ROB with speed control...good for sanding & applying wax
A real DA like meguiars G220 only cost 120 us but in Malaysia selling rm 1600++ & FLEX is selling rm3000
cutting & polishing nope...it does not have any cutting power....
Carpet cleaning ......eg it is like buying a consumer OTC vacuum, it does good suction but...in terms of strength , water & carpet cleaning it out
EG.....$....ROI (cost effective)
a rob cost some where 285-325, a good reliable makita only 820....yes 500 different....
initially ...everybody get settle in .....cheap & good...correction zero
2ndly for me to compound, polish, glaze & finishing......ROB will takes 2-3X longer time to complete...the real issue is the vibration...will numb yr hand before you even finishes the 1st step...
plan ahead....to me Makita 9227...is one of the greatest invention of all time, speaking of the durability unquestionable...itis so good till some of my friends uses it for 25 years....
now as long as u r driving yu will need a rotary to keep yr car glazing
