Looks great!!!!!

If you open the cases you run the risk of voiding the lifetime warranty. My GG6 is 8 years old and still running strong on the original factory grease. By the way--did you get a 5" backing plate and 5.5" pads for the GG6?

Why not just invest in a forced rotation DA like the Flex rather than take the risk with a rotary?

But--the Griots polishers are made to their specifications and they have a lifetime warranty.

Stick with a Griots GG6 for your first polisher. Here's a write up by Mike Philips that may help--Here's what you need to get into machine polishing - Recommendations for a beginner by Mike Phillips

In a previous post didn't you mention one of the FinishKare sealants that contain a durable filler???

I've been using Megs Ultimate Fast Finish on wheels with very good durability--getting about 6 months out of one coat. It is really easy to apply to the wheels including the barrels and makes the wheels a snap to clean. Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish

Mike-Any recommendations or special prep prior to applying?

Which ever DA you get, make sure you purchase enough pads--here's a link to an article by Mike--- How many pads do I need to buff out my car? Here's a link to thin pads---Lake Country ThinPro Foam Pad System 5.5 Inch 6 Pack - Your Choice!

I'd stay away from prepackaged kits and put your own together. Kits usually have things you will never use. As an example the GG6 only comes with the 6" backing plate. You really don't even want to use it. Get a 5" backing plate and 5.5" Thin pads--you'll save money and the polisher will...

YEP! It can only be applied by hand.

I can apply UPGP to an entire mid sized SUV, including all the black trim in under 30 minutes--and that's it --no buffing off required.

After soaking them in APC I clean them with LA Awesome Orange Degreaser from the Dollar Store. Doesn't get all the stain out, but gets the LSP and AIO out of the pad.

Same here. Was 8 years ago.
