Interesting. Do you know any power difference with and without extension cord? The factory cord should have been designed in to deliver optimal power.

The extra weight doesnt get your arms ripped???? Jk. The thought of those Shake Weights cross my mind.
Does the weight mainly come from the motor itself?
Do detailers care about weight balance of the polisher?

In my research of polishers, I'm hoping to ask the typical question in reverse. Normally, the obvious question(s) is:
"What the best polisher?"
"What do you LIKE most about your polisher?"
Etc...
I'm hoping to learn the flaws or maybe even the improvements you see in the polisher you own...
Thank you for the griots feedback. Now it really makes sense why I cant really find any 2nd hand GC products. Original owners get fantastic customer service and have no need to sell off their polishers.

@dbailey Thank you! That's a good checklist of what issues may arise. Have you successfully troubleshot these issues before? I love to tinker and bring dead things back to life (thus the high interest in detailing lifeless cars).[emoji16]

Whoa. That's some shady stuff right there. If the seller had bad intentions to sell stolen goods, he/she would've said anything to make the sale. I'm not sure how much more due diligence you could have done. I'm sorry you have to go through that headache. Thank you for the heads up and sharing...
Awesome input and advice guys! In general, it sounds like picking up a used established BRANDED polisher is a safe play. Even if it has an issue, some tinkering could fix it or send it in for repair.
Does Griots warranty carry over to a 2nd owner?

I'm hoping to get into this hobby, but not quite ready to throw down big $$ on a polisher. Is it a good idea to buy used? If so, what should I be aware of when inspecting it?
For example, theres check lists when you buy a used car. Is there something similar for used polishers?
Thanks all...
@cruzscarwash nice, I'll look up Dream Gleam. Just curious, are you on the road all the time traveling to these different parts of the country doing jobs and trainings?

@fly07sti This would be for hobby purposes and family if they asked. The class would not only serve to learn techniques hands on, but also meet/network with people. I can read and watch videos all day, but theres ongoing value when you meet people face to face.

Hi Mike, thanks for the input. In my limited research it's very surprising that there aren't classes offered around here.
Have you met any reputable owners from my area? Maybe I can start there and ask questions.
For any detailing companies reading, this could be an opportunity!!
