The Griot's Garage 3" is a steal at 125 bucks for the kit. Use that little guy for tight areas. You can even convert to 2" for really tight areas, if you need to. It's light, easy to handle, and powerful enough for most jobs. It's pretty smooth, too, which is why my Porter Cable isn't getting...

thanks, UncleDavy. There's my sticky. I somehow missed that!

I'm from the aviation sector, so acronyms are a part of life. After a while, you almost (or completely!) forget what they stand for. I'm a noob at this forum, but I've been polishing and babying paint on my own cars for a long time. The problem I have on these forums is the acronyms folks on...

I'd wrap that with 3M Dinoc Vinyl. Easy to use, looks great. lasts reasonably well if cared for and not constantly out in sun. I'm planning to do that to the window trim on my BMW. If this is a new car purchase, definitely pressure the dealer to replace the trim. Inspect the new trim if they...

Don't worry about the cargo box....worry about the car's paint under the pads where the box sits on your car. I put a Yakima rack on my 1992 GTI, and it scarred the paint almost immediately. I returned it. If you must use a roof rack, look for one that doesn't use big rubber feet like the Yakima...

Thanks, Aaryn! I was considering trying the "Pinnacle Twins" with it. Do the other polishes you've tried run smooth, and how's the work time?

I've got a Rupes Mille polisher on the way, and I'm super excited. I was able to order a litre of the white ultra fine grade, but AG doesn't even stock 250 ml bottles of the Mille coarse or fine. At least not yet. Has anyone used other brand or other Rupes polishes with the Mille polisher yet...

Nice review, Mike! It might be nice to see a video of the Mille system in use, but I'm sure you have a lot of irons in the fire. Thank you for your fast response. Doug

I was considering the LC CCS pads, but I see what you mean that the Thin Pros would transfer energy to the paint better. I may have to try that. Darn-this is addicting!

Thanks for the input, Mike! I'm ordering the Rupes Mille. Like I stated in my original post, vibration is really getting to me. The clockwise rotation of the Mille is a plus. If it handles as well as MP clams in his review, it should be a winner and give me many years of good service. I'll start...

Hi, Mike! I just finished reading the thread concerning these three polishers, and the biggest conclusion I got was that we have way too many engineers on this forum! Just kidding. it was very informative, but my main concern is what these machines feel like to use, and which has the easiest...
