First time with Meguiar`s G110v2 DA

I have not detailed the e46`s door jams yet because a few weeks ago, Ron posted something about removing some grease from the door jambs which can cause some serious damage.

Can you post it again?

...perhaps only the hinges.....

O, I see what u mean... I guess I`ll apply AIO on the painted parts of the door and jams, just hope that there wont be too big of a contrast between the spotless AIO surface and greased parts.

You can use a little mineral spirits, or a tar remover to take off the excess grease. Then wipe down the area with isopropyl alcohol. This should clean up the excess grease.

Another reason why I service my own vehicle. I usually surround the hinges of my doors with rags when I spray the lube on them. Then I immediately wipe off the excess. Also go back in a couple of days and wipe the excess, again. Cause no matter how well you do it the first time, it will run down the door hinge again.

To be honest I was a bit nervous using it being the first time I have used a machine polisher, but it handles like a dream, very balanced, not very loud at all and the vibration was minimal. I probably moved to fast as I was still worried about damaging the paint but I`m sure as I get used to it that will improve. I didn`t have time to finish it tonight so I will get more time with it tomorrow and hopefully slow down. In my opinion it is a great polisher and I`m glad I finally popped that polisher cherry LOL

Sorry no pics

Congrats, the G110v2 is a GREAT machine! In fact David Fermani and I used them to achieve 99% correction on a completely tricked out Corvette. I LOVE my G110v2. Please give me a call (407) 963 1444 or shoot me a PM if I can help in any way.

Congrats on your first machine use! :clap:

What polish/pads did you use?

I got my V2 the other day. I will be trying it out for the first time on a black porsche tomorrow.

That`s great, Steve! The more you use it, the more you`ll like it. It just takes time to learn the techniques of speed, pressure, pad choice, polishes, etc. Now you`re hooked!:partaaay:

Thanks, I used Megs 205/white LCC. You will really like it, it doesn`t wear you out at all.

That`s for sure

. I`m going to have to get a smaller backing plate/pads for the smaller areas.

Thanks. I finished today and I was a little more relaxed this time taking my time. It is just a major learning curve for me as I have always done polishing/waxing/even compounding by hand. Talk about a workout LOL. Anyway, this is a great forum to learn from and I appreciate everyones help and advice. I will see about those pics. :clap:

**Old Pirate** · 01-20-2010, 07:34 PM

I need to get one myself.....:wizard:

**hopsgt500** · 01-20-2010, 09:39 PM

Definitely, I`m sure you could get one to "test" LOL

**hopsgt500** · 01-21-2010, 01:51 PM

Here is a few pics after the polish. The sun was in and out today, weird for Florida for sure, LOL. Only have one coat of BFWD. One more coat of that and then some BF Midnight Sun :thumbup:

I threw in an extra pic of my favorite thing on my GT500 :Car smiley:
