What pads are recommended most? What size backing plate and pads?
I’m not a FLEX guy, so I will leave this question to the FLEX owners.

It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: Griots G9/G15/G21 & G8/G13?
For light usage the Griots are fine. I’ve been using Griots G15 and an Adam’s SK mini for years and been great.
As I stated in your other thread if your adding a mini do a long throw (g15) to cover more ground.
Definitely g13 over g8. G8 stalled a lot for me..

Re: Griots G9/G15/G21 & G8/G13?
between the G8 and G13 there are some differences...
G8 (8mm orbit) = includes 2" and 3" backing plates and you can purchase their
1" extension backing plate (pictured below) to use with 1" pads..
G13 (13mm orbit) = includes 2" and 3" backing plates but no 1" extension backing
plate available specifically for it at this time..
also, it's not recommended to use it with this polisher because of the
larger 13mm orbit - this polisher has more power than the G8 as well...
a good combo would be the G15 and G8 - from what i've read the G15/21 have a lot torque/power
and do not stall easily compared to other LT polishers out
if you're only doing your vehicles and a few here and there the G9 (replace the 6" backing plate with a 5") will do...

Re: Griots G9/G15/G21 & G8/G13?
I too am a hobbist who occasionally does other family members or paying customers. I've found a G15 and a G8 to fit my needs quite nicely. The G8 is a little underpowered, but the G13 wasn't on the market when I bought the G8. However, I'm still happy with the work I can accouplish with the two tools.
