Hello,
I was lucky enough to get a steal of a deal on amazon during black friday for a couple devices. Let me start by talking about what I need. I have a couple classic cars that I want to do some cutting and buffing on. They've been sitting under car covers in a garage for over 25 years. Additionally I'm a firefighter so we routinely wax and polish our engines as well as clean up the diamond plate on the engines. So I'm looking for a relatively easy device that I can use. I'm a beginner. I've had a meguiars DA at one of the stations I worked at but that's it.
That was the initial rotary buffer that I bought but then the more I talked to people the more I heard that there's a high likelihood of damaging equipment. I believe I got it for like 130 after tax and shipping
I also bought the griots
for around the same price and I know this is a "safer" device. What're your thoughts? I'm kind of leaning towards the Griots so I don't screw up the paint on a fire engine. I have an old old school rotary buffer/sander from like the 70's that I figured I'd maybe keep if I needed it for any rotary jobs.
