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

    Has anyone received an update from Griot’s on the G15? I had a good email dialog going with Griot’s customer service until about a month ago then they seemed to go radio silent... (never a good sign) Now I see a that the projected ship date is the end of this month; not really sure what’s going...

    Off-label uses of APC (Megs D101 or equivalent from other Mfg)

    The lady does some frying on occasion, which can leave the tile in the kitchen and stovetop slick and coated in oil that’s difficult to remove. I have found a good automotive APC (full strength)makes quick work of kitchen grease (better than Dawn and and hot water).

    Hand sanitizer on tree sap... now what?

    Denatured alcohol and isopropyl alcohol are the same thing aside from additives added to the alcohol to make it toxic to drink. Please don’t drink Isopropyl alcohol either but the base for denatured alcohol could be fit for “drinking” before it’s denatured. Bottom line is for cleaning purposes...

    Which 15mm polisher to buy?

    I have a Griot’s G15 on order but Griot’s keeps delaying when it will be ready, currently it’s two more months away... I have found a Rupes LHR15ES for $50 more than a G15 that ships now... I’m starting to think I should bite the bullet and spend the extra $50 for 2 months of getting things...

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

    I assume it’s for machine cooling and swapping pads probably won’t make a big difference, other than letting it cool while you swap. Although, the backing plate breakage could be due to plastic fatigue due to heat? But I’m not a materials expert...

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

    Aside from the integrated backing plate cooling... “Due to its long-throw articulation, the G21 could not integrate fan cooling in its counterbalance like the G9. So we engineered the G21 with its cooling fan integrated into the backing plate. This new backing plate technology was...

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

    I received an email from Griots today. Here’s what it said... Backing plate issues/performance “Thank you for placing an order for the Long-Throw Orbital. We have missed the mark as we have not yet been able to ship the machine to you and wanted to provide an update. Thank you for your...

    Suggestions on bumper rash

    Sorry Paul, the question I asked was “Anyone have experience with BMW bumpers” not how do I fill gouges. I was looking for some idea on paint hardness, and experience of people polishing BMW bumpers. I never asked a question about touching anything up.

    Suggestions on bumper rash

    I told a buddy I’d help him coat his new to him BMW M3. He however just mentioned he has some “light” scratches in his bumper cover... he then sent me pictures, ggrrrr. Anyone have experience with BMW bumpers, I assume the paint on plastic bumpers is thin, and it’s German so hard. I’ll probably...
