Meguiar's G3500 DA Power System Tool

[Sunnydaychevy]

Anyone have or use it? Or is it worth buying the right tool for the job kinda thing? Not a hard core detailer just my black Silverado and wife's hot lava RAV4. any recommendations would be helpful, obviously price is the issue, can't justify spending $300 on a date polisher unless making money with it.

Thanks for the info!

I think it would be easier to use a DA.

The hand position looks kind of odd and I worry that one might slip with it and damage the truck due to the high center of gravity of the drill + accessory.

That being said, I have never used it.

 

Give this a whirl:

I think there are some online reviews of it.

That is minimal investment.

You can pick up a Porter Cable 7424XP for around $100 or so.

Is there a big difference between the two other than $40?

Porter Cable 7424 XP. Worth every penny and some.

I have the Porter Cable 7424xp. Great machine. Basically the entry level pro set up.

You can find them for about $100.

But then you need pads, etc. I forget if it comes with a backing plate.

 

Can't vouch for the Harbor Freight one, but if you are only using it once or twice a year...it should be ok.

[Sunnydaychevy]

That's about it, once, maybe twice a year on two daily drivers. Not worried about if it comes with pads or a kit. Like I said just want the right tool for the job kinda thing.

Don't waste time or money on the meguiars deal.

Don't waste time or money on the meguiars deal.

 

I agree! Get the Porter Cable. I get pads from Auto Geek, they usually have good package deals on them.
