    Products for detailing

    The GG6 polisher has a lifetime warranty, you can't beat Griot's customer service. I bought a used GG6 from a online auction site (E***) and had troubles with it. I sent it in to them and explained that I bought it used and needed it repaired. They sent me back a brand new machine at no charge...

    White car & Proxy

    Richs 66 try putting another coat of Poxy on 1 section of the car and leave it on over night. Take it off the next day and see if that helps. I have left Poxy on for over 24 hours in a garage kept car before removing with great results.

    Opinion on Blower

    I bought this one for less then $30. It has a soft rubber nozzle, light weight, small in size, and good power. I use it to blow water out of door jams, cervices, wheels, mirrors, fuel cap, front grille. It does a great job on those duties and I use Griots PFM towels to dry the rest of the car. 1...

    What can I top HD Speed with?

    As others have said HD Poxy after using Speed is a great combo, well worth ordering it.

    Is it worth it?

    If your going to buy a DA polisher get the Griot's GG6. It's a great polisher with a life time warranty, Griot's is a fantastic company with the best customer service in the business! Buy a good 5" backing plate and 5.5" Buff and Shine flat pads or LC thin pro pads and you have a great setup!

    Polishing Pad Cleaners - which one

    Yep Dollar Tree sells it RTU in a spray bottle, or a refill bottle. I use it outside! You need something strong enough to get the pad clean but not damage them. It does an excellent job cleaning the pads with the pad washer and you can't beat the price.

    Polishing Pad Cleaners - which one

    I don't dilute the Lata. Spray it on the pad and let it dwell a few minutes and then onto the pad washer. For really dirty pads I let dwell longer.

    Polishing Pad Cleaners - which one

    I use LA's Totally Awesome from Dollar Tree and a DIY pad washer. It's so much faster and the pads come out perfect every time.

    Pads for general AIO use

    Buff & Shine orange and white pads for me with HD Speed gives great results. I have the thin pro's, and many other pads and with the GG6 the B&S flat pads are still my go to pads.

    Which DA Machine? Griots or Meguiars?

    Griots (GG6) is your best choice by far. Best customer service and warranty period! I bought a used GG6 off Ebay and the speed dial didn't work, so I sent it in for repair to Griots with a message it was bought used from Ebay. They replaced the polisher with a brand new one and sent it to me no...
