Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

No, because you'll lose cut. You're better of maintaining the cut and cleaning up the haze after rather than do multiple passes (and maybe not get the full result) and still have to clean up the haze. Don't let this put you off from the system - it still works great on the Flex and similar tools. Now, if these tools utilized the 5.5" rather than the 6" pads you might have more of an issue, but moving up to the slightly larger pad alleviates much of the potential issue.

Thank you.

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

I used an earlier version of this pad at speed 6 and it melted the microfiber pad, interface pad and backing plate together.... a real mess... so I would suggest following the guidelines from Meguiars.

Oh dear!

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

I have been using a Mirka 5" backing pad with my old G100 and my new PC7424XP for years now. Will this backing plate be OK for use with the new DA system or is the W67DA that much different to warrant me purchasing it for use with the new pads?

This is the current Mirka 5" Backing Pad that I use.

It might work, however if you encounter excessive heat on the paint, you'll want to invest in our backing plate. The "hook and loop" Velcro are very important to our system in that they do not creating very much heat. The pads and backing plate were specifically designed to work together to not produce excessive heat, especially when the user bears down on the DA.

I did use it at that speed for quite a long time (a couple of hours), so it's not like it will instantly melt if you run it at a higher speed. And this was an older version of this pad. Needless to say, I would still heed the recommendations from the Pro's at Meguiars.

As Andrew points out, it may well work, but if this backing plate uses a long fingered hook & loop system you'll generate a lot more heat than if you use one of our backing plates, which utilize a micro hook & loop that is better suited to the system on these new discs.

As Bob points out, he experienced that with an earlier version of the disc. They have gone through several updates and changes since then and they can take some pretty severe heat.

Case in point: I've had this disc, cut in half, sitting on my desk as a little memento of our development of this system. We did some abuse testing on these, trying to get the backing plate/pad interface as hot as possible. Not to brag (well, OK, maybe a little ), but I managed to get the highest temperature recorded that day, and I was "up against" Jason Rose, Kevin Brown, Joe Fernandez and other highly accomplished and admired detailers. That temperature? 231 degrees F. Ouch. The thing was literally smoking. So we cut it in half to see what happened. Nothing. It was just, um....HOT! But it took it all in stride.

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

I hope so. You said it was..........

Hey Meguiars, can you just sell those bottles without the product? Those are good bottles.

The secondary bottles will be sold empty as well.

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

I know that Jason and others have been working on this for a long time. They are to be highly commended for producing a product that is revolutionary. Thanks guys for hanging in there to deliver the best!!!

OK. Well I do not know how to tell what type of hook and loop it has, but it is a very short hook and loop compared to the type of hook and loop that is on my new style W65 rotary backing plate.

I do not know if you can tell from these pics, but Here is my Mirka



Here is my W65

Looks like you should be fine then, Brian.

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

Mike, I haven't read through all of the posts. But just watching the video, it seems that the rate of travel is much faster than the standard 2 inches per second you would use with a traditional foam polishing pad.

What is the approximate rate of travel that we see Jason using in the video?

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

Thanks for quick response and informative answers.

Then, should forced rotation users use a slightly slower speed to reduce hazing?

I used a force rotation machine (dynabrade) and got some haze on softer paints, yes the defect removal was quick! I use it on 1000 rpm s.

Cheers,
GREG

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

I use this backing plate with my 5.5 inch LC pads. Can this be used with these new pads?

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

The W67 is the plate that already comes standard with the G110v2, correct? I already own the S3BP and S6BP, but not the W67.
