Polish & Claybar Budget Friendly Suggestions Please

You want to use a pad that is 0.5 inch larger than your backing plate, so a 6.5 inch pad with your 6 inch backing plate or a 5.5 inch pad with your 5 inch backing plate. The Griots Yellow Perfecting pad is available in both those sizes.

I believe the Yellow Perfecting pad is only available for their BOSS machines (G21 & G15). I don't see them available for their 6" Random orbital though.

Works fine on your machine too.

Perfecting cream and the yellow pad will probably not remove water spots that have etched the clear coat. You can try, maybe if your clear is soft it can work but I usually see more aggressiveness needed to remove those etched spots.

Ahhh! I didn't know if you could make it fit. Awesome, thanks! You just cost me more money LOL


I don't know if it has etched or not, I'm hoping it didnt. It happened 2 weeks after I had applied Duragloss 105+601 so I'm hoping the Duragloss did it's job and protected my clearcoat. Fingers Crossed!

The Griot BOSS polishes are easy to use. You could just go to Walmart and get a bottle of Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. Only like $11 for 20oz bottle. Great one-stepper medium compound that is easy to use. The use M205 to finish it off and then to maintain it down the road

Do you know if the Perfecting cream and yellow pad will take off Duragloss 105 Sealant at least?

I would say yes since it has abrasives in it. Removing a sealant isn't too hard.

As long as you're getting the right size pad for your backing plate, it's totally fine to use the Boss pads on the GG6.

Meguiars Ultimate polish will not break the bank and is good.

Menzerna may be a tiny bit better at greater cost.

Mother's clay (2 per box with detailer lube) has worked better than the other popular clays I have tried.

Good luck
