I'm looking to buy a DA polisher and was wondering what the best one is CURRENTLY and what people preferred today. I'm sure there will be some summer sales soon so I want to have my mind made up before I buy.

Do you have experience detailing?

I'm not sure that much DA polishers have changed that much over time. The PC is a solid product.

The Griots is currently the best polisher for the person on a budget.

The Rupes Bigfoot is a new comer that is really hot right now but a bit more expensive.

Yes we will have a spring special tonight and you can take advantage of it on the Griots.

I have a Makita 9227C NON oscillating polisher but i bought that to sand down my cars previously and is to powerful for a BEGINNER polisher like myself. I will use that as an alternative to the DA polisher after I gain some experience with the less harmful DA.

I still have (and love) my Flex. I started with a PC and wanting something with a bit more oomph but didnt want to dive in to full rotary.

I've got the Griots and like it, although I'm about as amateur as you can get.

I still like my 5+ year old Porter Cable although I think I'd try something else if buying new.

The Flex is fantastic.

you have a great polisher, (its a rotary polisher btw)id use the DA if i was sanding and them polish with the rotary. DA's take longer for correction but if your really need one then the megs G220 v2 is great.

I love my Griot's. I use mine on a weekly basics for paint corrections, light polishing, and applying wax. It is a great piece at a great price. I definitely recommend it to anyone. I use the 3" for tight areas and switch over to the brush adapter to clean even the dirtiest of leather seats. Both seem to have the same quality and durability.
