griots polishers

james west · 03-15-2014, 07:43 PM

are griots 6 in. polishers just as good as a flexxc3401 polisher. i don't want to spend alot of money but i dont want to buy a peice of crap. my z is brand new and i would just be using it to get some swirls out. by the way that could be the nicest butt ive ever seen!

Griots is not as good as a flex. (hence the price difference) However, it is perfect for someone looking to take care of their own cars. It is similar to a Porter Cable 7424, but with a bit more power.

GG 6" is fine for your first orbital. I just used mine for the first time this weekend and liked it alot. The flex isn't worth the extra cost for a beginner/hobbyist. The Griots also has a lifetime warranty.

Been using my griots 6 and 3 inch RO's the last 6+ yrs. No issue.

Btw, for hobbiests just use the orange pad and scratchx2.0 for polishing.

No need to get the polish1, 2, 3, etc griots offers.

I love my Griots Garage 6" DA! Works great

In fact, I just ordered a new set of polishing pads because my originals had gone bad.

My Porter Cable and Refresh 3 polish work just fine for me. Those Flex machines are mad expensive!
