Buffer backorder

[Carl H]

Any news on when the new buffers will be available? The date on the website keeps getting pushed forward. Is the Griot's buffer the same as Meguiar's?

Close but not same ,,It will work great for you. Lifetime warranty.

Re: Buffer backorder

Hmmm...lifetime warranty sounds good. Are they made by PC? What is the difference between Griot's and Meguiar's buffers, if you happen to know?

Not much ,, little more power with Griot's and lifetime warranty.PC is Porter Cable,, people swear by them but it did not impress me at all. Get Griot's and you will be happy.

Re: Buffer backorder

Only Meguiar's has the "cruise control" feature. This feature keeps the OPMs up when pressure is applied on the polisher. It's a feedback system that tells the polisher to slightly increase the power/torque once pressure is detected.

Here are the specs of each tool:

G110v2:
Power: 430Watts
Current: 4.2Amps

GG6:
Power: 850Watts
Current: 7Amps

Cruise control is great feature and I love it but on the other hand what good is it if you can't buy one?

Re: Buffer backorder

Thanks for the help, guys. Need to get started on work trucks so I guess I'll go with the Griot's. Tired of waiting! Will use Meguiar's products, though. Any thoughts on Lake Country foam pads?

Lots of guesses but as I learned after buying all kinds of Pads I finally went with "Microfiber Correction System" and results were great in 1/2 of the time. Yse I still play around with different products but D300 and D301 are some of the BEST products in my opinion.

Re: Buffer backorder

I plan to use megs 7" pads & megs BP on my GG6.........been eyeing the 12pk at ADS

Re: Buffer backorder

I think 7" is a wrong way to start. I prefer 5". Just my opinion

Re: Buffer backorder

^ I do have a GG3 as well, along with the 3" GG pads, I also picked up some 4" pads and a slightly larger BP for the GG3.
I do have the 6" GG pads for my GG6 (3 waxing/3 polishing)
