Orbital or G110?

[misl302]

I have a cheap-o ($20-30) 6" orbital buffer that I used once like 4 years ago. I remember not liking it but can't remember exactly why. I have been doing all polishing and waxing by hand. I've become infatuated with the G110 but am hesitant to drop the cash because of my past experience. Is the G110 money well spent or should I give another go with the old orbital?

You will certainly not be disappointed with the purchase of a g110. Not only is it faster to work with, you will get better results and can do minor paint correction. It doesn't even compare to an orbital.

The cheap RO polishers are fine for applying wases/sealants. However, the flexibility and power of a G100 or similiar will allow you to do paint correction and much more.

I went through 3 cheapo orbitals on my car and motorhome and finally threw the last one away and bought the G110. The difference is night and day!!! Faster, easier and the results are fantastic compared to the orbital.

Get the G110. You and your paint will be so happy. Not only is it faster, its powerful enough to do more paint correction. It also will keep going after a long detail. As opposed to your arms witch will be hurting.

The G110 would definitely be money well spent. You'll get great results with it.

Re: Orbital or G110?

orbitals cannot even be compared to the G110..... i tried my dad's craftman orbital to apply scratch X back when i did not have a G100 and after maybe 2 panels the orbital overheated and bogged down and finally wouldnt even turn back on and it did not even achieve much cleaning so i had to go back to using hand.... the G100 corrected scratchs that would have gave my hands blisters in a fraction of the time and fraction of the effort... it wont bog down on you and it is much easier to handle than a bulky orbital

you do lose arm muscle building excersize oppurtunity though because the G110 makes paint correction so much faster and easier and so much less effort compared to hand.

Re: Orbital or G110?

I have both (actually two orbitals). No contest. The orbital is ok for putting on wax, and even that it's not really any faster than working by hand.

^ agreed, I got better results using products such as ScratchX by hand than using a orbital.

A PC/G100/G110 is money well spent and easy on your back

The G100 offers a lot more power than the Porter Cable unit and if you want to remove swirls, (remove paint), you'll appreciate this extra power about 10 minutes into the job.
