    2014 Mercedes S550 Sad But Happy Detail

    Looks great! That was in pretty bad shape and now looks better than new! Can you share what LED light your using on the interior and what paint thickness meter? Sorry, I like technology too..

    Griot's Garage NEW BOSS Paint Polishing System

    I have a few questions for groits(regarding my g21). Does anyone have a good email address for them? I emailed them on their info email and haven't heard from them in 5 days??

    My new GG Boss 15 review - more questions than answers

    Yup, forums are tough. You had a pretty unbiased thread going and it was going good. I design things for a living. Just to make the molds for the plastic body of the "knock off" was probably $50k+ so, let's not be too harsh here. Giots spent some cash. Its a nice machine. I wish i had a...

    My new GG Boss 15 review - more questions than answers

    Sorry to the OP as this should be its own thread but, these tools are considered concepts unless it they are truely exact copies. Swanicyouth, you are making a big claim saying the Griots is an exact copy when they clearly have different components. Have you bought both and truely determined...

    My new GG Boss 15 review - more questions than answers

    Look, it is competition and we should be happy! This forces people to step up the game and come out with new products. Guess who wins, we do! I bought a G21 and knock off or not, it works great. I don't own a Rupes so, I can't can't comment but, people seem to like it. Whatever works for for...

    What's your Day Job?

    I'm a R&D mechanical engineer. If you can dream it, I take it from concept to a finished product. Heavy into 3D modelling, CNC machining and electronics. Right now, we ecentially make iPads but, from 19" all the way to 96" sizes. I got into detailing(only my own cars and family/friends)...

    First impression of BOSS 21

    I tried LC pads that i used on my Porter cable. I found they would work but, they were thick and so, not so stable. I ended up spending a ton of cash and bought a bunch of the Groits pads. They are pretty pricey!

    Porsche Panamera paint

    I have used the same exact combo you have used on many a Porsche with the same results. I switched to a Groits Boss 21 and the swirls are gone. I don't think the PC is good at removing deep swirls on Porsche paint(or our Audi). I can't comment on other paints/car brands.

    Griot's Garage NEW BOSS Paint Polishing System

    I think you guys are right. My PC gets in the tight spots but, slow for paint correction. I think a 5" pad for the G21 and or a smaller machine for tighter areas. Ps-this is not a knock on the G21. (It is a very powerful tool!) This is a case of fine tuning my technique and choosing the right...

    Griot's Garage NEW BOSS Paint Polishing System

    So far, I love my Boss21. One thing I will say(and it is not totally unique to this machine) is if you have a really small car with a lot of curves, you may want to use a 5" pad. I think the long throw and the 6.5" pad is a little tight. I learned to work the machine through them but, tight...

    Griot's Garage NEW BOSS Paint Polishing System

    Ok, I have been using a PC for a few years now. I use to use a rotory machine for years. I got my Boss21 a few days ago. Like a kid on xmas, I ran outside and ran it on the hood of my truck. The truck is a swirled mess. I used the Groit orange pad and menzerna fg400. It worked great! I was...
