- People ask me if I enjoy the Quick Connect adapter by 3M. I can honestly say when they first came out I was a bit leery of their performance however I quickly, well maybe after a year or two, began to enjoy them and the quality of the wheels that accompanied the new adapter. A few years later we're talking maybe five, six years on, I noticed that the pads were not quite as good as they were when the Quick Connect adapter first hit the scene. Because of this lack of quality control that I saw, I decided to continually use the screw on pads with the old-school spindle nut adapter. Always making sure I had at least one good wheel in my kit if the adapter broke or the inner plastic retaining ring in the QC wheel itself got worn and sloppy.
I helped develop the DeWalt DWP849X. I helped test the prototypes and further suggestions have led to an amazing tool. I trust it. I'm comfortable with it and I know it's what I need and has never made me question reaching out to Dewalt in order to get this made. Makita passed and now many years on, I'm seeing they've decided to make a buffer kind of like this. It isn't. Enjoy one for yourself. You won't regret it.
I have many more (300+)videos; before and after boat detailing videos including boat waxing, boat buffing...
Have a question? Comments section will be replied to.
Anyone can hit a rock with a hammer; getting the rock to look like something that belongs in museums and books... Takes a love of hitting rocks with a purpose and not just the right tools/products.
I use a DeWalt DWP849X
If I'm going for perfection in gelcoat, I don't use a ceramic (unless a very new boat) I prefer the ease, cost and reliability of Fire Glaze by RMP. Make sure you get all the oxidation out of the gelcoat, get a great finish, clean and strip the surface and then apply Fire Glaze.

There's a "marine" version but it has the same main ingredient as Fire Glaze, just a different lubricant/carrier solution made to be environment friendly. I find it dries rather fast and as I'm in a hot climate, I use Fire Glaze instead of Restructure Marine Polish. I like their Mirasol spray for all the interior furnishings as well.
For a demo on how I apply this stuff:

Really appreciate your videos!
Thanks Bob. I enjoy that you appreciate them, honestly.
Did you have any issues with threading on the 3m quick adaptor to the Dewalt dwp849x? My 3m quick adapter seems like it has a different size thread than whats on my dw849x. I can get maybe 1/2 turn and then it just stops and won't thread any longer. I don't think they make different size 3m quick release adaptors.
Thanks for any input!
Yikes, no, never. I've used about 3 and the guys at the shop all have one, my last crew used them too half the time.
I'd return /exchange it. Sorry about that. I'd say it's a fluke or it got bent or has something in the threads keeping it from threading.
@@Local_Boydidgood I just figured it out. It was just a little material stuck inside the threads of the adaptor. I had to wrench it on and it broke free then just blew it out with some air. Strange I wonder if it was put in there on purpose to act like a thread locker? Who knows but we're all good now it threads on like butter now! Thanks for your input. I appreciate it!
Anytime.
So some pads are quick connect and others are...? I take it the 3M Perfect-It 9" compounding double sided pads are the right ones to use with the quick connect?

@@Local_Boydidgood OK, I bought the Dewalt buffer you recommended elsewhere, the 9" double sided pad, the adapter, 3 liter set of 3M compound, and the 303 Areospace stuff. My fleet will never look the same. First up, a beautiful gel coat fiberglass camper. Thanks a ton. You don't do cars much, but I don't even own a boat.
Plenty of car experts. I felt there was a hole to fill in boats. Don't do anything I do on a boat, on a car, ever!
You're very welcome. I hope you achieve your desired results.

Did I not reply to this Bob? Sorry. The pads are specific to the nut or adapter. One can't be used with the other. In my descriptions are the part numbers for the corresponding wheels.
Again, sorry this slipped through the cracks my man.
Lee
@@Local_Boydidgood You did. I just followed your recommendations!
Does the quick connect do as good as the backing plate or same?
Apples and oranges really. The backing plate requires you to physically center the pad, avoid tight places and you don't get another side of your pad to use if needed.
It's just an adapter to use double-sided pads.
@Local boydidgood thanks I got one coming just wondering
Don't forget the pads to go with it. They only work with the right 3M pads made for the QC.
