I have been trying to wax my fiberglass RV using the G110V2 along with Lake Country 6.5" foam pads and Meguiars #50 RV wax. I have watched the how to videos and it doesn't seem that difficult. However when I try to wax the RV the machine orbits OK but the pad stops spinning with the least amount of pressure on it. I sent the machine back to Meguiar and they sent me a new one but didn't say if they had found a problem with the returned one.
Now having the new one I was eager to complete the waxing. The new machine is doing the exact same thing as the returned one! The pad stops spinning with almost no pressure being applied and of course does not spin with any moderate pressure. I have tried it with no extension cord and plugged directly into the outlet in the garage and I can stop the pad from spinning with gentle pressure from my hand on it.
My understanding of this machine is that it has a sensor that increases the power if moderate or heavier pressure is applied and I have used orbital sanders that have the same action as the polisher so I expected the same type of experience with the GB110v2. Is there something I am doing that is causing the pad to stop? Customer service said to send it back but I would really like to be able to use this one, considering it costs me about $20 shipping to CA. Has anyone else had this problem with the G110V2?
