If anyone is looking to get a polisher, this is a GREAT deal. Only good for another few hours, or until supply runs out.

Griot's Garage 6" DA polisher

This is pretty much the best non-driven (i.e. Flex) DA polisher available right now and $80 is a steal.

Thanks for posting! I would never have seen it otherwise. Amazon is screwing with me, gotta wait 8 minutes now for it to expire and try to readd it to my cart because at checkout it bounced back to $130. Been using my brothers random orbitals and I am about to move out to Tucson for college so I need to get my own.

Be aware that this doesn't come with pads or anything but the backing plate. So you'll still need pads. If you haven't got them already, I'd highly recommend the Meguiar's MF cutting and finishing pads ($20/pack of two cutting, $20/pack of two finishing).

AH that's a crappy system, I just realized it puts $49.99 gift card balance at check out with it, and I was like that's probably my mothers since I'm on her account (to use her prime), and chose my debit card and it was showing $129.99
I only use lake country pads

It shows as $80 for me with no prime, don't need it or want it but price is $80 for now.

Bear, you should try the MF pads. I've got an assortment - LC, Meg's, older Sonus, wool (for the rotary/Flex) and the MF pads. The MF pads do a great cutting job. They're my go-to for most DA work unless I'm using a 4" pad.

Yeah the problem was just that apparently the lightning deal discount at checkout shows up as a gift card balance for the deal savings instead of just being straight up the price is $80, how would you like to pay for that?

@Anime, I'm a noob, detailing is just a hobby for me, wool and microfiber is a harsher cut so I stay away from them since I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to buffing. I still have a lot to learn, maybe I could make some money off detailing after 5 more years of college (sophomore this year), but for now its just something I do for my own car as well as my family's cars because 2/3 of my brothers just own cars. One asked me a month ago to show him how to wash his car because he had never hand washed his car and just got a new hyundai genesis xD. But yeah I wouldn't trust myself with microfiber or wool unless a professional taught me first. I've just been taught a bit by my oldest brother who is the other auto enthusiast of the family.
