    Re: Does anyone have g9 da polisher from griots

    I`ve got one and have been really happy with it. Lots of power, comfortable to use. I (personally) don`t find myself needing to use speed 6.

    To cheat and skip typing a bunch, I posted my thoughts on it a while back here: Did my first full detail with my G9

    Bull6791- I`m glad you got some reassurance on the G9. I`d *figured* they were OK, but best to ask somebody who`s actually used the thing. You might look into the GG pads/products too as *so many* here think they`re great. If I ever run out of my (so old!) stuff, I`ll probably go that route myself.

    How is the G9 machine at applying wax and sealants or is there a better machine.
    Another question what is better applying sealants or waxes with a machine or by hand. Thanks

    It oughta be fine. I`d think twice about using a (truly) long-throw unit like a 21mm for LSPing, but can`t think of any reason at all why the G9 wouldn`t be perfectly OK. (FWIW. my fave LSPing machines are my Cyclos, and they`re considered "long-throw" units even though I wouldn`t have called them that myself.)
    Another question what is better applying sealants or waxes with a machine or by hand. Thanks
    Gotta define what you mean by "better". With a conventional wax I can get a minutely better results in the sense of more spherical beads and what I believe to be an equally minute increase in appearance (but I`d have to use a Glossmeter to know for sure..it`s nothing anybody would notice IRL).

    I *always* use a *LOT* more product applying by machine, which has zero upsides and various (potential) downsides.

    BUT OTOH, the physical motions of using a machine are different from those employed when doing it manually, and some will find that significant (on either side of the fence).

    FWIW#2, I sometimes buff LSP residue off by machine with MF bonnets. Functionally, there utterly minute diffs similar to the by-machine application, but this approach does lend itself to a sort of (what I term) "psuedo-spitshining" (which can really bite you if you do it incorrectly).

    99% of the time I`ll be finished LSPing anything (even big vehicles) by hand in afar less time it`d take to get out/set up/clean up/put away a polisher, let alone the time it`d take to clean all the excess product out of the (machine) pads since it wastes so much product. (If cleaning excess product out of a by-hand LSPing pad takes more than a few minutes then something`s very wrong IMO.)

    Now that I`ve shot holes through the by-machine approach, just watch me decide I want to do it that way myself the next time Bottom line IMO: it`s just personal preference.
