    It's a long throw polisher that is imitating what's already been done, except better. What polisher were you looking at before?

    your use of periods is unique.

    don't worry, you made a good purchase.

    GG3 is not a good example of the type of worksmanship from Griots. I used the GG6 for years and it is very good. They also have a lifetime warranty on their polishers. I still use the GG6 with a 3'' backing plate as my small polisher and I'm still happy with it.

    I haven't gotten to use the Boss yet, but I'm willing to bet it's higher quality than the Torq. The other Torq that came out has pretty middling reviews if you look at people who use it often. If you're looking at long throw you can't really go wrong with the Rupes. It might be more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

    My $.02 worth...ANYTHING from Chemical Guys IMO is not the highest quality; products and including their DA Polisher. You did the right thing by getting the Boss.

    I have had too many bad experiences with their products. I would assume the same goes for their DA.

    Again, my 2 cents worth.

    That, in itself, doesn't annoy me.

    It's the conflicting reviews that always
    starts getting peddled-about...

    Starting with:
    "the fanbois" vs. "the haters"...

    and often concluding with:
    so-called reviews...from people that have yet to
    even see, touch, or use that new model buffer .

    BINGO!!!! I could have not said that any better! You hit the nail right on the head!! That's why you be Yoda and I am just chump change.....LOL

    That being said...I am just relating my experience with Chemical Guys in general. That is why I bad posted the DA even without trying it. My guess it's a fine machine but Chemical Guys in general are not too high on my list...from 1st hand experience.

    I meant nothing personal. My other posting went up
    before I saw the overall content of yours.

    This is my sentiment as well.
