Hi All, Is there a place in Southern California for me to try all these tools? It's to hard to pick out a tool without trying it out first. You don't buy a car without kicking the tires and driving it around, you know what I mean? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

I know people have opinions but the two posts up top. Why do you like the 3" and why do you not like the 3" (Because of correcting ability?) Thanks

The GG 3# your talking about, what pads do you use with it? Are the pads proprietary, how's the backing plate, and is it possible to use the 4" pads that are readily available? Thanks

Ok I was going to get the Flex and the GG. Now after some thought I'm not sure. I would like to ask some questions to the experts or semi-pro detailers or anybody who knows about random orbitals. So from me reading, researching, and surfing the net. I have found these Orbitals: Meguiars G110v2...

Is there an Edge adapter for the GG? If so will someone please put a link in to the part? Thanks

Ok, here's the deal for me. I just talked to my better half. I told her my dilema about spending money on all these tools for our vehicles. LOL. She told me to get all the tools and stop thinking about what TOOL to get. :) So guess my dilema is over, I'm getting all the tools. YAY!!!!!!! Man...

Are you saying that the GG can have differenct backing plates? I don't have one, just trying to get all the facts before I pull the trigger and get one. I'm just in the market to get the best tool that will fit my needs. I have read on other posts that the GG has 4 screws for the backing plate...

Please don't take this wrong but I'm wondering why is the Flex your goto tool when you have the Makita? Is it because you can't finish well enough with the Makita? I am wondering because I just ordered the Makita and it should be here today. I am thinking about either the Flex or the Griot's...

I just found some hard water spots on the windshield. I don't wanna take it to the dealer cause I know what they do. What's the best way to take off hard water spots off of a windshield. Here's the tools I have, Makita 9227. Is there a safe way to do this without spending a ton of money, a safe...

My car is Brand new as in just off the lot. Paint looks real good. I'll try the wash, clay, and sealant (wax). Anything else you would recomend? Thanks

I just bought a new car and would like to know what soaps, polishes, waxes, etc. to use on it? Just wondering what I need to use to get the wet look (Paint dripping wet look), what polishes do I need? I have read about paint corrections on older cars but what do I use on a brand new car? What's...

Yea I would rather use smaller pads. Is there a huge difference from 5.5" to 6.5", in the way they feel? What do you guys think is better to use when using between the Makita 9227c and the Flex 3401? I would like to use one size pads when using these two machines so I can interchange between...

I have read alot of people state that the Flex is limited to the pads and pad size. After doing some research, I have found that 3m makes a backing plate for the Flex. Edge FLEX XC 3401 Conversion Adapter, Edge Pads adapter for FLEX Orbital Buffer, 3M Edge 2000 Adapter What are your thoughts...

Is there anyway you can put a link in to the product? Thanks

I know this has probably been beat to death but I would like to know your thoughts on the makita 9227c and the flex 3401. After weeks of thought and reading in this forum I just ordered the makita 9227c, will be here tomorrow on Weds. Now with that being said reading thru all the posts...
