You can't go wrong with the Griots (new version), PCXP, G110/G110V2.

I still use my trusty old G100 (PC 7335).

That's the link he sent me.

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

Griot's V2 and the G110v2 are the same price - $150. Not sure what info your friend has.

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.

Don't bet skin of your palm on it.

Judging from the links, it seems like Mike Phillips has signed off on it and likes it a lot. Maybe he'll pop up and add to this thread

ziggo, have you checked out mike p's review of da's? check out post#9 http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...ter-cable.html. i also like the fact that the griots hd has a lifetime warranty. i myself have 2 g110's and so far they have treated me well.

Yeah, that definitely is a plus. This goes for their 3" Random Orbital as well.

Re: My friend wants a Griot's 6" DA...need input

no kidding huh!?! you just don't get comments from those who are happy these days.

Au contraire. I've been extremely happy with mine and I've had it for about 2 years. Granted, I only use it about 2-3 time a month, but it's been good each and every time.

hopefully the gremlins that plagued the G110V1 won't be present,

hopefully the gremlins that plagued the G110V1 won't be present, I like the Griots or the PCXP units, the Griots machine is rated more powerful than the G110 1.0 and the PCXP is below the G110, not sure on how they rate with the G110 2.0.

But, having more power doesn't mean better results, proper pad/speed/technique/product is the key.

Check closely as the Griot new DA comes with a standard cord and a extended 25' cord and the latter is at an extra cost as sold at AG. Just a heads up. Personally I think I'll wait to see a comparision test between the new griots and the new Meg's unit.I see also that Ads is taking pre-orders on the new Meg's unit for $149.00 .

Re: My friend wants a Griot's 6" DA...need input

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?

Mark,

Care to expand upon this? Why a "game changer". I mean, other than the change which allows power to ramp up if it is bogging down, it there something else that I'm missing with V2?

I have a G110 V1 and didn't think the changes to be all that significant but maybe I'm missing something.

Re: My friend wants a Griot's 6" DA...need input

gsxr-I saw that, but something seems odd with that., checking with what is on the Griot's Website. In fact, that part about the 16 gauge cord isn't listed on their website. Plus the rest of the write-up on it talks about it being engineered ans still has the 10' cord.
V1 is
And v2 is

And only Amazon had the V1 in stock, everyone else has the V2 but makes no mention on the HD other than AutoGeek.
