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!

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.

Re: Griot’s 6” RO Polisher with Meguiars Products You will need more pads!!! How many pads do I need to buff out my car? Get a 5" backing plate so you can use 5.5" pads

Can BFs SiO2 spray sealant be applied to pebble grain black trim while applying it to the paint??

Wow--sure is a different experience than I've had with my G15. With both Boss and B&S pads it's very smooth and easy to control with little to no pressure.

How is the durability of Ultima Paint Guard+ when applied correctly?? I have a bottle to try, but haven't gotten around to using it yet.

Take a look a Ultima Acrylic Spray Wax--very slick, very hydrophobic and lasts longer than OCW. Ultima Acrylic Spray Wax

Since I only take care of our two cars I started using the Nanoskin sponges a couple of years ago and they have worked out great. Using UWW+ mixed at the waterless wash dilution as a lubricant I'm able to clay without introducing marring. Here's a link to both sponges, but you can also buy...
