Well I was fortunate enough to head down to AG headquarters this afternoon for there new Tuesday night car show. Unfortunately it rained out so they called it. But not before Mike Phillips and Nick invited me in to give the new BOSS G21 polisher a test run.

First impression is that its a quality built tool. Not some flimsy knockoff.
It is a little heavier than the Rupes but not something that I personally would fuss about.
The rubber coated front grip is a nice touch IMO. Overall very ergonomic design.
Mike put on one of the GG thin 6in orange cutting pads and away I went polishing. After spreading the product I ramped up to speed 6 and just let the machine go to work. Super smooth and easy to use. I applied ample downward force to see if it would bog. Didn't happen.
Just like ever other "regular DA" if you tip it up it will start to stall. No different than Rupes, PC etc.. You just need to be mindful.
I really do like this machine. Although I have a 3401 and a few other machines I could see a G21 with a 5in plate possibly fitting my aresnal.

Great job Griots! And thanks Mike and Nick for letting me try it out!

Way cool!!! Thank you for the review!! It's always great to get 1st hand experience from an AGO person!! I look at this as another awesome choice for a DA for anyone that would like to detail. A win win for us all!!!

Below is a depiction of how the buffing-pad
would probably look if I were to do:
SPEED 6...on a 21mm throw polisher!!! :eek:

Thanks for the mini-review!

I want to purchase the G15 (not sure I need the G21 as I am only a weekend detailer on my own cars).

Want to polish then try my first coating!
