Want to add a 2nd DA polisher

I have a boss 15 and a 3” and think its a perfect set up. If you are doing bigger vehicles and hace alot of space to do a long throw is great. This is my 1st polisher.

Was not hard to learn and you will work faster rhan an 8mm. Did a friends car with him and he had the gg6 and i was done my side 15 min faster. I know their are variables but i was try ing to be precise not quick as i wanted to see if the longer throw was indeed faster.

If i had to do again and the boss 15 was $300+ i would’ve just bought g8 and 9. Only 2-5 cars a yeR like you.

Right now though Griots has the boss 15 for $225 and i would jump on that. It’s an awesome polisher with a proven track record. Autopia hasca PM policy so see if they’ll match it.

I talked with Will at Autopia and they will price match Griots.
Thinking about this, Will said I could use my reward points also :)
 
There was a thread about the Chechnya Chinese da here a while ago. Great da great price. I bought their rotary and happy with their rotary. Light, powerful, smooth snd inexpensive. Buyers here also lke the DA
 
Wonder if their done with long throws or coming out with a new g15. With the other polishers they kept old one around. Probably hard to get rid off with new products.

Being geared towards consumers would make sense no long throws...

But why?

That`s something that makes zero sense to me. I can see most consumers not needing a 21mm throw, but a 15?

IMO plenty of consumers need exactly the same equipment as Pros, in all sorts of applications including Car Polishers. And that`s leaving aside the possibility of the G9s having issues.

Not in the sense that as consumers we need them but as they’re geared towards consumers. Most new to polishing are scared so they play it safe. Probably sell g9/gg6 10 to 1 vs the boss machines.

Griots doesn’t sell a ton of different products that do the same thing. Probable gonna go hard with the G8 and 9 combo vs a long throw.

Truth be told if i had this option when i bought my g15. I woulda went this way. Just wasnt a fan of the gg6

My guess is, there will be an update on these. The BOSS system was a huge investment for them. It makes more sense to have the long throws updated and made by the same manufacturer as the G8 and G9.
 
Yeah it’s just wierd that they launched g8 and g9 before discontinuing their predecessors. Maybe their just trying to lower stock first.

Well ironically for some reason that deal never happened. I sent the funds and it never updated on EBay. Contacted the seller and he said strange the email that EBay had for him for PayPal wasn’t a valid email. So I cancelled the payment and saw the refund hit my account. Asked the seller at least twice now for a new invoice / email to send the funds to, and never heard anything back.

Ended up purchasing a Maxshine 15MM over the weekend. Watched a few videos from Apex Detail and Brian said he couldn’t see a big difference between the standard 15MM and the pro 15MM from Maxshine so I bought the standard.

Then last evening I had an email from Adams with a 20% off code for items I had in my cart. So I went to the website and put in the codes for S&G and ended up getting the 12MM throw mini polisher for all but $100 shipped.

So now I’ll have the

15MM Maxshine
12MM Adams
Diavolo micro

I also have a PC that I think I am going to buy a carpet brush for and use that for carpets/ tires / and want to try it out for deep cleaning all the exterior plastic trim on my equinox before putting in a trim restorer / coating

I recommend scrubbing it with Griot`s Rubber Prep, my go-go for all (non-shiny, unpainted) exterior rubber and plastic trim.
