Griots DA or PC 7424??

[Jmoran]

Which one would you recommend for a beginner? Which one get's the job done faster?

Either DA polisher would work fine. The Griot's has more power, but I use the Porter Cable.

I plan to get griots for the warranty

I've had the 1st generation Porter Cable 7424 for 14 years without an issue...:props:

I would go with the Porter cable, No polisher would get the job done faster, its improvement of technique that gets the job done faster, If you want another option to compare the pc with, I would go with the meguiars, the two are very good for beginners.
You will also need cutting and finishing pads

The PC 7424XP has been serving me quite well. Ditto on the faster issue, its not the polisher that gets the job done faster, its technique. And truly polishing a car to a show car finish is not something to be done with speed.

that should help you make your decision,great place to start is with the pc

I just picked up the PC 7424XP and love it. I own many power tools and always try to buy quality brand name products. Makita, Dewalt, Milwaukee, Porter Cable, Bosch, Delta, Etc. are all names I trust. I'm sure that the other DA polishers are great tools, but I like the solid quality feel of the Porter Cable. Good luck.

PCxp with Micro Fiber pads for cutting and Foam pads for polishing.

The Griot comes with spare brushes, a 6" backing plate, has more power than the PC and has a lifetime warranty.:nomore:

+2 'nuff said.

I bought the Griots and was surprised at the spare brushes that came. Very good addition to the package. I bought it because of the warranty and it has more power. The 6 inch backing plate is great, I may order more as it seems to fit the 6.5 inch pads much better. If you are concerned because it will be your fist one, don't be go with the power and the warranty. In the end you will be glad you did.

if it were my choice.. it would be either the GG6 or G110v2. although.. the new 3D/HD DA looks very promising. many well respected detailers have used it and have good things to say about it as well and i look forward to hearing some more reviews/thoughts on it...

I started out with the GG6 and like it and have no regrets. I do Recomend you buy a 5" backing plate and 5.5" pads with any of the DA's. The GG6 does have more power than the PC/XP and with the above mentioned learned technique will correct faster (because it will turn the pads with more pressure applied) than a PC/XP. That said they are all VERY good tools and I really don't think you can make a bad choice.
