also, the new griot hd (aka v2) has a heavy duty 16 gauge, 25 foot power cord hardwired into the polisher. The longer cord is more convenient than an extension cord and it is gauged to deliver maximum power to the polisher for safe, efficient operation.

It is the V2 of the Griot's. I have told him about the G110v2 but it's too much for him.

Make sure that your friend is getting the Griot's V2 dual action.

The version 2 variant comes with a 7-Amp 850watt motor, making it possibly the most powerful dual action buffer in the automotive market. Because unlike the Flex, which has a fixed forced-rotation gear, the Griot's may be able to easily out rotate the Flex dual action polisher under certain load conditions. From eyeballing my own DA, I have seen my PC XP rotate faster than 480rpm at speed 6 with certain pads and products and high pressure. I am sure the Griot V2 will rotate even faster.

Since this is a Meguiar's forum, I must urge you to urge your friend to seriously consider the G110 v2 nstead!

ZoranC-What did you like so much about the Griot's that you sold your G110?

I have Griot's V2 (one that came out just recently). I tried it against my G110 V1 side by side for several hours. I liked Griot's V2 enough that between it and G110 V1 I kept Griot's and sold G110.

Of course that says nothing about how it would stack up against G110 V2.

Korner-Is the one you have the newest one they have?
Mark-He knows about the G100v2, but he's trying to stay under or right at $200 while getting an assortment of pads at the same time

The new G110 2.0 is a significant game-changer, without the significant game-changer price tag. Has your friend considered that?

Or is your friend 100% of the Griot?

I have both the 6" and the 3" Griot's buffers. Both work very well and I have had no problems. The 6" is 2 years old and I have had the 3" for about a year. I suspect it is made by Porter Cable but I'm not certain.

I think Superior Shine has one, maybe ask him?

Like the title says, my friend is wanting to get the 6" Griot's DA. I've searched around and there is very little out there review wise. Putting aside that he could get a different machine, does anyone know much about the machine? It has specs mirroring the 7423xp and G110v1, with the same handle as the G110. Just looking for someone who maybe has toyed with one or owns one. Thanks.
