    Which 15mm polisher to buy?

    Go with a 21mm Faster correction More coverage Stalls less Slap a 5in BP on it, get a tad more correction Where the 21mm won't fit, nor would the 15mm..so get yourself a 3in for those areas...or a 2in...aka G8

    Griot's Garage G15/G21 Long-Throw Orbital Polisher *Ground-Up Redesign*

    Yes it's for machine Cooling, I'm just not sure how much the fan actually cools vs a regular vented plate... neither has the shroud sealed by the plate like a factory Rupes... I'm just assuming the heat difference would be negliable...but reality is.. I think they band aided an issue and it...

    Griot's Garage G15/G21 Long-Throw Orbital Polisher *Ground-Up Redesign*

    Just switch out your pads more often l typically do every panel or two anyways If the machine get unusablly hot due to a backing plate, then Griot dropped the ball on design and should of did more than just bandaid it with a fanned BP If the UDOS plate is shipping, that'd be a better route...

    Pearl White wax suggestions

    Wax/sealant won't do a whole lot by itself. If you want it at it glossiest/best clarity/depth .then best wash it. Igl delete wipe down(acid), clay Polish( not going for correction, most a quick couple passes) , then seal

    I have a 5" backing plate on my DA can I use a 6"foam pad?

    No because the 6in pad would have a 6.5 face . You'd have a 1in overhang on the Velcro side and an 1.5in overhang on the face side That combo would lead to Inconsistent cut/finish Accelerated Pad wear Get a 5in (5.5 face) pad
