    Questions on Griot's Boss Products

    I am thinking of using the Correcting Cream and finishing sealant with my GG6. Can these be used with regular foam pads, or is it really necessary to get the Boss Pads?

    Thanks.

    You can use them on your pad of choice, I have used them on various density foam pads as well as MF pads with great results......The Boss creams are slowly becoming my go-to/first reach product for paint correction

    You can definitely use them with any foam pads.

    Any thoughts of applying poly wax over this? after a 12 hour cure, of course.

    The Griot's liquid gloss poly wax? Shouldn't be a problem at all. From reading the Q & A on their website, the only downside to applying the poly wax over anything else is that it's durability shrinks to whatever you've applied over (which makes sense).

    Had a nice Saturday on my hands this summer and use Griot's Correcting Cream, then applied PolyWax (waited some time) and then applied Liquid Best of Show and topped off with Pinnacle SSII. Holy sh*t that looked amazing!!! Took all day - but we do this because we love it right!

    nah the boss pads and the regular pads are the same foam. you only need the boss pads with the hole in the middle for the long throw machines

    Can't remember if the foam itself is a different construction (open cell or closed cell), but don't forget the BOSS pads are also much thinner than the regular pads which helps with rotation for more efficient correction.

    But, you can use any of the creams on whatever pad you choose. I would imagine you'd get milder correction with the regular orange Griots polishing pad than you would with the orange BOSS correcting pad if only from the reduced movement at the pad face as the thicker foam absorbs some of the energy from the machine.

    I really like the BOSS polishes on medium-hard paint. Not so much on soft paint(hard to wipe off).
