Just bought this exact orbital polisher off Amazon... the reviews were very good. I have used only the large Big Box store polishers in the past, and they worked fine.. but now I want something more precise and manageable.

You cant always hit the right spots with a massive 9 or 10 inch pad lol....

I will post results shortly, looking forward to using the Griots 6".

I have a black Corvette C6. Should I have any special concerns about using this?

[JamesSmith-lhpz]

Can this machine also get rid of heavy swirl marks and can I still use the orange polishing pad for both the rubbing compound and polishing compound? Obvious using different pads for each but both using the orange polish pad. Also can this reach the smaller harder to reach areas such as bumpers with the 6 inch and or can I put a 5 inch on?

I've recently purchased this orbital and I'm going to be doing some paint chip repair before I decide to do polishing. My kit came with one each of a white, black, and orange pad. Would I do my cut with the orange and then polish with the white?

Please bring your products over to germany. No one sells them here, and if somebody has something, then just for a ridiculous amount of money.

Does that polisher spin the pad or does it kinda vibrate

[stephensdetailshop]

Is it true that your pads are just rebranded lake country hydro tech pads?

[jaimiewells]

I am just starting off in the detailing I want a good polisher for removing scratches in the clear coat . I have looked up a couple kits but unsure on what to get any sugestions ?

[ffgus]

Do you manufacture your own products? if so Where?

[alambe]

Why does it look like this machine is underperforming I use this machine last night on our car and it looks like when you place the machine on the car it’s vibrating instead of spinning when you take the machine off the car it’s spinning but when you put it on the car lightly I mean not without pressure it’s like the pad stop spinning and it’s vibrating why is that?

[bihcardinals]

now can i exchange the backing plate to use a 3" pad?

[williamsickels]

What settings do you recommend for Cutting, Polishing and Finishing when used with the appropriate pad. Thanks again. Looking forward to using this product this weekend!

[aimson]

Great, but ya didn't tell us how to CLEAN the darn pad after use. Otherwise, great polisher - I did my car the first time yesterday!

[johnadams]

Amazing how all these genius polishers always demonstrate polishing on the horizontal flat surface of the hood. Big deal. Show how is is used in tight spaces and on creases and sides. Show the viewer how the machine works in difficult conditions and don't waste our time polishes the top of a hood.

How do you remove wax before polishing please ?
Wax remover removes only old wax,
IPA even pure can not
Claybar can not
Fairy can not
White spirit can not
Break cleaner can not
Talking about wax which cars end up having over them after regular washes.
Regular washes are done using shampoo with wax in it
Some owners wash their cars every day meaning there are many layers of that wax.
Also sealants such as Fuso Coat are hard to remove even for sanding/ wet sanding so lightly polishing to remove them is a myth as well and then washing towels with sealants and waxes in them is also kind of impossible often.
