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

No, W67DA backing plate (4.75" diameter) was part of G110 package.

G110v2 comes with W68DA (5.75" diameter) backing plate.

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

Since this system is designed to work within prescribed OPM parameters (4800 cutting/3800 finishing), I'm assuming this means 1st generation PC's (7424,7336) will be at no disadvantage compared to 2nd generation PC's with more power. The selected setting's would just be different, for example, speed 4 for cutting on a 2nd gen, and speed 5 ish on a gen 1 PC for cutting. Am I right on this?
The disadvantage I'm referring to is, of course, in terms of cutting and leveling ability.

The w67 is the pad I used when testing this system, works great.

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

What I want to know is where can I get the cool detailing satin/silk shirt that Jason is wearing in the video! I could then never worry about scratching my vertical panels when working on horizontal one!

Maybe even better it could be made out of MF fibers and I can polishing the vertical as I work on the horizontal ones.........just don't know if I could keep the 4800 OPM rate for perfect polishing?

Cheers,
GREG

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?

Rate of travel is going to be dependent on how the paint reacts. During the compounding step you may find, on very hard paint or when up against heavy defects, that you want to move very slowly and/or use more pressure. You can actually apply a surprising amount of pressure and still have pad rotation. As with anything in this game, nothing is really set in stone and some experimentation is always going to be needed to dial in for the particular vehicle you're working on.

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

As long as it's not a long fingered hook & loop you'll be fine.

You are spot on here - the first gen tools (PC7424/7336, G100/G110 and perhaps the earlier Griot's tool) don't reach 4800 opm until they're at speed setting 5. Always a good idea, regardless of tool, to double check those speed settings and adjust accordingly.

You're not the first person to ask about that. It seems that is a one off garment given to him by a manufacturer who was trying to get their foot in the door. Jason wears that all the time, even at the beach.

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

This is definately something I will be adding to my arsenal very soon. The weather is finally changing here and the snow is melting. Really missing spending a day just detailing away!!!

Looks like an awesome system!!!

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

Is it possible to use the 3 inch backing plate (and pads) with my cyclo polisher? I would love to try out the system with it.

Out of all the machines I tested with the MF system the Cyclo was the slowest to remove defects. Yes it works but not as quickly as a G110v2 for example.

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

Thank you very much for the input. I am not surprised at that. I do however have a cyclo and since it is for personal use I can afford a bit more time. I have two cars to work on and my alternative is the cyclo with other products and this seems like a good kit.
I have been using OTS Swirl-x and UC followed by an light polish. This may still save me time.

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

So is there any chance to expand the platform use i.e. produce a 4" pad to include machines like the cyclo?

It seems like a good fit even if the cyclo does not do removal as fast..

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

How does this wax compare to things like NXT and UW? Does it have polishing oils in it? Is it a cleaner wax that can clean up some, if any, haze left from the D300? Or would another lighter pass with D300 be necessary before the wax?

Are there plans for any other liquid products to be released for this system? It seems just one "compound" and one "wax" is a pretty general start to gauge the success of the system first or is this really all that is needed?

Re: Introducing our new DA Microfiber Correction System

D301 is a light cutting finishing polish that's designed to remove the haze left behind.

The current pad selection does work with the Cyclo, you just need to source different backing plates for that tool to accommodate our 3.37" pads.

At the risk of sounding a bit abrupt, you really should read through the reviews on this product - answers to all over your questions have been answered several times. But in short, yes, the Finishing Wax is a cleaner type wax, especially when coupled with the microfiber Finishing Disc, and it will very quickly clean up even the worst haze left by the compound and cutting disc.

What is the fingered hook and loop? I currently have the 5" LC backing plate. (http://www.autogeek.net/lc43125.html) Will this work with the Meg's MF pads? It says it's hook and loop but it doesn't say fingered.

Sorry for the newbie question
