Question 1

Does it comes with the YELLOW G3508 Polishing Power Pads or do i need to buy them separately ???

Accepted Answer

Yes it comes with one pad but I would suggest that you buy another if you are using multiple products (ie rubbing compound and polish). These pads are pretty tough though and can be easily washed and reused.

Question 2

I have a drill with maximum RPM 1650. It is not 3500. Will this product work with my current drill?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, I wouldn't use it with anything other than the max speed recommended (which is still half the speed of my 12v corded DA polisher that goes up to 6400rpm's). I tried this product with a drill similar to yours, and while it does work, it just takes a LOT more time and effort to get results. It does work on light scuffs and swirls, but anything more takes an incredible amount more effort than it should.

Question 3

I want to get this for my husband for Father's Day.  What is the best type of drill to use with this system?

Accepted Answer

I would recommend using it with a drill that develops at least 1200 rpm. I have mine connected to a corded Makita power drill that gets up to >1500 rpm - IIRC. The drill is a bit heavy, so I decided to try the DA head on my recently acquired Porter Cable battery powered driver - but it did not develop enough RPM to get the DA head turning fast enough. The DA head has a gearing mechanism inside it that reduces the input RPM, so if the drill isn't putting out enough, the DA head will not work well at all. That said - I highly recommend the DA head system for polishing / waxing your car. It makes the work really easy, with VERY good results. A few days ago and polished my Infiniti G20 in about 2 hours. Go ahead and also get the different pads  - compound, polish and wax, together with the corresponding Meguiar's liquid polish. You would have great results! Hope that helps.

Question 4

Will this work with the m105 ultra cut compound and 205 polish and do i use the same pads.

Accepted Answer

You could use this with that compound, but I recommend you switching the foam out to either the cutting disc or the brown pads which were designed for cutting/compounding/ polishing. The yellow foam I believe is for waxing. It'll still work, but you will have to go over the spot you're polishing more times.
