      Is this the same as the Grit Guard Universal Pad Washer? Just curious since they also make the Grit Guards in the pro line....

      Agreed! I see you can get Meguiar's logo apparel in other countries, but not here. I'm about ready to order some stuff from the UK and have it imported here!

        That seems to be a one off. Every now and then we get these unusual items with our logo on them, courtesy of someone trying to sell us something. While a lot of it isn't anything we'd normally even consider, every now and then something sort of funky pops up. The one Jason is wearing in this picture is the only one I've ever seen.

            What cleaning solution does it come with? Is it the same as the Dynacone cleaning solution?

              It's definitely not a cheap item, no doubt. But this is pretty much the going price for this unit at Amazon, ADS, etc.

              Honestly, at this time I'm not totally certain what, if any, cleaning solution comes with it. It definitely won't be the cleaning solution for the DynaCone though.

                I see on the picture that somebody cleaning pad on DA machine - is this for DA too ?

                Honestly, I do not imagine how to clean the pads on DA machine.

                  It sure is, and it works great.

                      Mike,

                      So what cleaning solution do you guys use and what would you recommend?

                      Does it clean the pads effectively well? Is it ready for use after or does it need to be dried first?

                        For a cleaning solution "Snappy Clean" is probably the most used cleaner. The machine does work great with both rotary and DA, though I like using my rotary better as you can use it to spin the pads really fast after cleaning to dry them out.

                        Be sure to empty and rise it out at the end of the day when you are all done too.

                        It is a little spendy, but if you hate cleaning pads by hand it is definitely a time saver.

                          I have the Grit Guard version of this as well. Here's a review I did on Autogeek if you're thinking about getting one:

                            Looks like a great item. But at this time it is a little pricey for me also.

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.
