Product Description
Griot's Garage constantly evaluates their products so they can offer the best tools to help you have fun in your garage. Their 1st generation random orbital brought safe and effective dual action machine polishing to a wide audience. Their 2nd generation orbital set the industry standard for performance with its powerful, 7-ampere, 850-Watt motor. Striving for perfection, they set out to improve upon this benchmark machine, taking into account thoughtful feedback from their customers. After rigorous testing, they are proud to introduce the 3rd generation Griot's Garage random orbital. This new orbital offers the same power as the previous version, but with a redesigned exterior to achieve a new level of comfort and ease of use. They kept the adjustable handle but added a rubberized grip to it. They added molded hand and finger grips to the housing, along with a domed, rubberized palm grip. The speed control dial and power switch were moved to more convenient locations. Polishing and waxing your paint with a random orbital has never been more easy, safe, and fun. With 6 speed settings, a 5⁄16 inches diameter offset, and low-end torque, this machine is ideal for polishing and waxing at any speed. The Griot's Garage random orbital is designed to provide you with a safe and easy way to achieve flawless results with minimal work. Powerful enough for a professional. Safe enough for a first-timer. Backed by Griot's Garage lifetime guarantee against defects. Choose from a 10 feet (18-AWG) or extra-long 25 feet (16-AWG) power cord option that makes working around the entire vehicle. Includes a 6 inches hook and loop backing plate. Foam pads not included.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.The Lifetime Warranty gives you that peace of mine. This is really a nice polisher. Has more power then the Meguiar's Dual Action Polisher, but a little bit heavier. I'm not a professional detailer so can't comment on the $400.00 dollar polisher You don't have to use the Griot 6.5 inch pads, you can used other manufacturers pads as well. I like to use the Lake Country pads 5.5 inch pads. Just make sure you use the 5 inch backing plate otherwise the 6 inch backing plate will damage the 5.5 pads. The reason I'm giving it 3 stars was because the speed control dial no longer works. Speed setting 1 and 6 are the only speed settings that work. Switching out under 30 day replacement. Hopefully this will be good.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Ive been detailing cars for many years, I've tried almost every polisher on the market and want to tell everyone this is the best polisher you can buy.I've been using my Porter Cable XP for over a year now, this past Saturday I received my GG DA and here is what I noticed right away.So much power , I polished my truck in half the time compared to the PC, much more powerful.It's much more easier to use than the PC, feels great in your hands.Unlike the PC it won't bog down, no matter how much pressure you put on it the pad continues to spin, that's where the faster correction comes into play.Love the handle in hard to reach areas, like large hoods.IMO its the best polisher I've ever used, it comes real close to the Flex, I mean very close but for a fraction of the cost, I used the Flex too, it's a fine machine but doesn't do more than the GG DA.Do yourself a favor and buy this DA if your looking for one.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Bought the tool primarily for polishing/compounding the always-oxidizing finishes on my dark-colored fiberglass boat and aging pickup. The Griot's is powerful, runs relentlessly and does the job better than my older Porter-Cable or, for that matter, any of the other similar tools I have owned. And it's fairly priced, in my view. Two things, from this amateur buffer: not all polishing/cutting compounds are equal in quality. Find one that works for you. And, as a professional observed in another comment, a good rotary buffer is still pretty close to indispensable in the polishing and waxing process. I have a 7-inch Makita rotary that I use on each section after the new Griot's orbital has done its work. The combination is very effective, in terms of depth of color, shine and life of the restoration.
