My Porter Cable with Meguiars microfiber pads works great and is super easy to use.

Megs out of the 3 is the priciest
GG has a lifetime warranty i believe
PC is the cheapest of the 3 and has been around for a while and it seems to be allot of the detailers DA


I personally own 2 megs DA, GG 3inch, Makita 9227C RB and a flex 3401.
If you have the budget i would go with flex since your used to 9227.

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

Ordered the Griots on Detailers Domain. It was about $50 cheaper than Autogeek and the shipping was very reasonable!

My second time ordering from Detailers Domain and it seems they have the best prices and I did take advantage of the 15% off SPRING promo!

Today is my birthday so this was a little treat for myself. 2 weeks ago i bought a big treat..... 2000 all original white civic hatchback. This will be the first car to receive the Griots polisher.

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.


The Flex is fantastic.
Flex is a fantastic DA! I picked one up for my weekend detail business and absolutely love it... I do however like to finish with a PC DA...

i recommend Scholl Products used along side a DA S17,S30 and i would use nano polish super gloss for jeweling
and id use Werkstat kit for white amazing results and easy to use instead of finishing with the spray gloss use FK1000p High temp Sealant

Rule of thumb
Wax=Dark coloured cars
Sealant=Light coloured cars

Sealant with an appropriate topping wax, finish that lasts MONTHS with proper care...
