  • WHY Speed Level 6 on the G110?

    Can someone please tell me WHY they even give you a Speed 6 on the G110 when they tell you NEVER to use that speed. [Is this like the one forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden]?

    A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

      USE SPEED 6.

      I think they say that because you may get premeture pad failure. I find this more of a reason to not use the Megs pads than to not use speed 6. I never use anything but speed 6 when doing correcting work and I get so much better results than when I was stuck at 5. Seriously use speed 6 and if your Megs pads start to break up then just switch to the Lake Country Pads. the 5" and 5.5" Lake Country pads correct better anyway.

        As mentioned, other companies do recommend speed 6 for their products. PB is one of them.

          Might be there for the future!

          Have you ever noticed we come out with new products, new technology?

          Just recently we launched D151, earlier this year we launched M95, M105, M21 2.0, NXT 2.0, M135, UQD... these have all been introductions of *New* technology. Who knows what's around the corner?

                  Before I started using a rotary, I used to use speed 6 all the time on the PC. You can see some increased pad wear around the adhesive patch for the backing plate if you do it a lot. Simply it does a little more work a little bit faster. Its' not that big of a deal.

                    Whoa....so you are saying that the stack of 30 pads I just ordered will be obsolete when megs comes out with "speed 6 rated" pads?

                      Why....

                      Instead of developing a motor from scratch, which would be very costly, we sourced one that best fit our needs, and implemented it into our new G110. This means we had to be sensitive to the higher OPMS's....With that said, we must comment on the following statements.

                      We, Meguiar's, do not recommend speed 6, so please be careful with the forceful recommendations, especially when posting in caps...

                      So much better results.... If you are having success at only 6, please proceed, but we must caution everyone else with regards to this approach.

                      We get great results each week in classes, and have heard /witnessed raves about defect removal at speeds 5 and below. Therefore, we respect that you use speed 6 with Lake Country pads, but at this time, we by no means endorse the use of speed 6 of our dual action polisher with our pads.....

                      2 statements we live by and need to stress...

                      Always use the least aggressive method.

                      It is always to be safe than sorry.

                        Perhaps SPEED 6 will cause the Flux Capacitor to fail before you reach 88 mph

                          LOL. If one day you should decide to channel either Dr. Emmett Brown or Master Detailer Kevin Brown, speed 6 will take you there!

                              I've had good luck with my G100 at speed 5. With the increase in DA-approved products that provide more cut than previously before, the products are strong enough to get the good paint correction at speed 5, not speed 6.

                              For instance, I used D151 w/ G100 this past weekend and had really good results. Did it correct everything? No, but it did a good job.
