Dual Action Polisher: GG, PC, or Megs??

Is one of this better for the Fit paint than the others? Which is your fave?

I have Meguiar's G110 and I love it. I did have the standard problem with one of the wires grounding so I pulled the casing and realigned it and all has been good since.

That issue has since been fixed so you would have no worries if buying new. I have owned a Porter Cable with good results but felt it uncomfortable to use. I have not owned a Flex but have used one before and liked it as well.

None will really be better for the paint than the other. They all have more or less the same capability with all things even. (Pad, compound, speed, etc.)

I've got a DeWalt DW849 and a PC 7424XP and use them for quite a bit. The DW can make a mess of the paint if you aren't careful and the PC is much more forgiving. An orbital will always save your butt where the rotary is much more aggressive. As long as you keep the pad moving you should be ok. I use meguairs 105/205 and menzerna 85 with wolfgang polish. Just take your time and it will work out fine.

PC is cheaper but I agree that it isn't the most comfortable due to the handle being on the side but I deal with it. PM me I have a coupon code given to me from the place I bought mine which I don't plan on using anytime soon.

Planning on grabbing the GG for the lifetime warranty.

I detail cars on the side. I have the Griots Garage. No complaints here, I love it. Great price, lifetime warranty, easy to use, and comfortable.
