Ok, Ok, no need to get hostile, Barry, lol.
I already have my claim staked for my future supply...
Im flying to Europe and having a naval Destroyer carry 1,000 cases back home for me.

Ummm...WOW! Thats some awesome results man. I have a few ?'s for you though.
For the rotary on the horizontal surfaces...you actually needed to amp it up to 3700 RPM? I'm just now becoming more familiar with the rotary...been doing most of my work via DA and Flex, so forgive my rotary newbie ?'s....but I have some difficulty handling it at 1500 RPM's with a 5.5" LC Flat pad...but maybe thats a poor pad choice?
Secondly, what is the dynabrade attachment?
Third...you say you prime with M101, then use M105 or D300 as needed. About how big of an area are you doing at a time and how much 105 or D300 are you needing to add?
Fourth: What size pad were you using for the vertical surfaces with the GG. If you were using 3" pads...what DA 3" backing plate do you use? Also, do you usually use a DA on vertical surfaces? Thats my BIGGEST problem with a rotary is using it on vertical surfaces...mainly curved...as it tries to walk all over with me...rather annoying.
That baby REALLY turned out sweet...thanks for posting..and thanks for taking the time to read (and hopefully reply to

Definitely loved working on this. Was great learning a new product that felt so familiar in application. Thanks again for including me bryan!
To answer a few questions, the average working area with the griots was at most 4sqft, but often smaller to ensure adequate cutting. 5" pads were utilized as it gave adequate rotation of the pad.
BTW: when bryan broke out the rotary, first thing that ran through my head was REM's "Its the end of the world as we know it"

So much for the "Top Secret" gear..................great work Bryan and the garage is "Cleaness". I too was fortunate enough to get the "Pimp juice" and the powers that be said talk it up(M101) that is....................this stuff "Destroys" defects with the quickness, another game changer for sure so kudos Meguiars!.

Barry is the king of using the dynabrade link here. Kevin was the one to inspire (as usual) to check it out. The DB turns your rotary into a d/a. So running your rotary at full song while using the DB is actually very safe. Start out at speed 3 on your rotary and work your way up. It takes some time and a little pressure to get the surface of the paint slightly warm.
Adding M105/D300 to a slighly primed Pimp Juice MF pad- Not very much at all. Just a few more dots.
Size of working area- Start out with a 1'x1' section and increase work area size once you become.
Size of pads used- pretty sure I stated we where using a 5" MF pad for the GG polisher and a 6" for the DB attachment.
Reason why we used 2 different machines, is we only have one DB attachment.

Ive felt the grit of the pimp juice at SEMA, that stuff is INSANE, like rocks in a bottle. I sure hope they hurry up and get a legal version in the states.

The powers that be as in Meguiar's themselves? Surprising since they keep trying to talk it down in every post I've seen them make on the subject.

It still boggles my mind that so many vendors are selling that same adapter at twice or more than twice that price. And even worse is there are some unsuspecting folks out there probably paying for it!
I know lots of us have never had problems running our rotaries at full tilt with the DB attached, but notably the unit is marked "MAX RPM 3,200"

See? I told you that was the right one.... :nana:

I tried the link for the DB but there was no image for me to be able to actually see it.
If you dont mind my asking, what is the advantage of having the rotary as a DA when using D300? I thought it was better when used a lower speeds?
Also, about how many passes were you having to do each section? I know usually 5-6 is the norm, was just wondering if that changed by using the DB?
And how many times did you have to do each section to get that level of correction?
Yes you did post what size pads you were using, sorry lol. :frusty: I guess what I was just wondering how you did any tight areas with only 5" pads?
Some real interesting info...hope you dont mind all the ?'s lol. thanks again.

You don't need to see it, just order it
The Dynabrade turns your rotary into a DA with a 3/4" orbit (as opposed to other DAs typically having a 5/16" orbit), and because it's being driven by the large strong motor in the rotary, it takes advantage of significantly more torque than a typical DA can produce.

hahaha, if i had an extra $60 laying around i would. Next month is my bday..maybe then
. So let me ask this, going back to D300. Ive read over and over D300 and the Flex 3401 dont play well together because the Flex causes hazing (even though i personally will use it if I'm going to follow up with a 2nd step). How would you compare the DB/Rotary combo to the Flex as to how it works/reacts to D300 and the MF cutting pad?

The hazing with the Flex has more to do with the MF pad not being as well suited to the forced rotation than it has to do with the D300 IME; the DB can operate in either a forced-rotation mode like the Flex, or in a "free rotating spindle assembly" mode like a PC. So when I'm using a MF pad, I stick to the free-rotation mode of the DB and it does a great job.
