BACK to the new Griot`s Garage GR3 rotary buffer:
I would like to know why, at this point in time, Griot`s sees fit to offer a small rotary, and apparently, the pads to go with it, and as some have alluded to, a larger rotary polisher in the near future. I would venture to guess it may be appeal to professional detailers who have used rotaries in the past because they are THE tool to get the task of correction and polishing done effectively and in the least amount of time (AKA efficiently).
That and there are a lot of gel-coated fiberglass truck caps/bed covers, water boats, and recreation vehicles that are best corrected and polished by a rotary. It is a big market and selling other car-care products the may "cross-over" and be applicable for Marine/RV care can only add to their bottom line. I am not sure that is their marketing direction, though.
Now here`s the big question: if you are an Autopian hobbyist detailer, would you buy this tool?
I suppose it depends on how "serious" a hobbyist you are (the-right-tool for-the-right-job mentality) and if your personal detailing budget can afford it.
Kind of like a "serious" amateur golfer who has a lot of golf clubs their bag.
