| Re: Griots Random vs 7424xp
I'm new to this game and considering the PC 7424xp vs. the Griot. I could be incorrect about this, but is it true that the Griot offers only two kinds of 6" pads (orange and red) with a selection of different grade polishing products? If so, is that a disadvantage compared to the PC that uses several more different grades of pads?

Pads are interchangable between Brands... and as long as there is Velcro on the back-side, you can use it.
I bought a selection of Lake Country Straight Foam Pads, CCS Foam Pads, Cross Groove Foam Pads and Kompressor Foam Pads... just to try them all out.
In my second order, I bought a smaller Backing Pad, just to give my Foam Pads a little more edge.

Also you can buy smaller sized backing plates thats fits any pc and they will fit the NEW Griot's as well, then you can use any color & any size pads you like on it. I will also say the Griot's is an amazing machine and deserves a close look!

EDIT: The Griot is even more appealing for me since I can use my neighbor's.

I don't feel right about that...borrowing his machine occasionally is one thing, but I don't want to use up his pads as well. They're not that expensive and I rather have my own set anyway. All he had was a grody old Griot orange pad...no others...in fact I should buy him a new one to thank him for letting me borrow the RO.

I like all of my Foam Pads I've ordered so far, cause of what wonders they are doing.
I would follow this thread and see what Mike has to say, Monday Morning. What 7424XP Backing plate?

And I'm pretty sure the tool Griot's is selling now is different than the one they were selling when Joe reviewed it.  | If ol' Joe where to be given a loaner Griots polisher he would be happy to compare it against the PC, and G110....  | |

So which one is safest to use and By how much?
I am assuming the PC is the safest from everything I've read.
If so, by how much?
