    Griot's Machine Polish

    I know Meg's 105/205 are the tried and true for most cases. Does anyone have any experience/success with the Griot's Machine polish 2,3, or 4?

    I've used 1, 3, and 4. They get the job done. The Griot's system has one polishing pad and you adjust the cut by the polish although they will be fine with any pad. The whole system is designed to be safe for weekend warriors.
    Polishes 1 and 3 are like 105/205. Polish 4 makes for a good paint cleaner. I wish they were easier to remove. I think I'll keep them in my arsenal because I can get it locally, but I'm looking to try some other polishes.

    Re: Griot's Machine Polish

    Sounds like you have used both... Do you have a preference between the two brands? I use a lot of Griot's products and if they are effective, would like to continue with the line. But if the megs out performs, then I will go that route. Which would you suggest? And if Griot's, go #1 and #3? Skip #2 and #4?

    The Griots work great . I used them in the past . I think I read that their #1 &2 polishes are not as aggresive as the 105 and their abrassives break down as you use them. I think the 105 abbrasives don't break down as long as your pad moves it continues to abrade the surface

    Griots polishes and pads are designed for the weekend warrior and are very hard to ruin paint with. I think they take a little longer to provide correction than M105 and M205. Especially if you use a 4" pad.

    I've used their #3 polish and really like it. I believe that it uses diminishing abrasives. This polish leaves a nice glow and removes light swirls and scratches.
