Griot 6 or Maxshine 15mm

[Cyb33r]

I have been reading this forum for a month now and finally decided to post. I want to buy my first polisher and didnt know which one would be best. I see a lot of people really like the Griot 6 but the maxshine 15mm is starting to get good reviews as well. Thoughts on what I should get? Thanks for your help!

The griots is way more versatile, I wasn’t a fan of the maxshine, I think my favorite long throw was the rupes, but I always come back to the 8mm da

a long throw polisher isn't ideal if you are only going to have one polisher, but more of an addition (limited to what it can do and the options available for it). IMO, every detailer/enthusiast should own at least one traditional pc-style DA (i've said it many times) and with that said, the GG6 (plenty of torque/power) would be an excellent choice. you can equip it with 3" and 5" DA backing plates with the corresponding pads which will cover most of your basis around the vehicle...

Personally speaking:

•I’d go with the polisher that provides for:

-the most readily available access to their
Customer Service Department’s reps;
-the best overall (even a Lifetime) warranty.


Of course: YMMV.

Griot's.

They also make a 15mm tool.

Griot Garage 6" ALL Day! I haven't even heard of Max shine before. GG6 is versatile and comes with a Lifetime warranty. I have heard nothing but great things about the GG6. As I said before, I don't even know about Max shine.

+50 for Griots. Like VISITOR said, the GG6 is an awesome unit that will handle all your needs with various plate sizes available.

Hello,

I am considering upgrading from my porter cable. I am trying to decide between the g6 and g15. Am I better off sticking with the g6? Isn’t the g15 a long throw?

Thanks

since you already have a PC (didn't realize you had one), equip/convert it with a 3" DA backing plate (i recommend the one below) so you can use smaller pads for thinner/smaller panels and get the G15 (larger 15mm throw as opposed to the PC's 8mm throw) for the larger flat panels. keep in mind, large throw polishers can/will stall on certain curves so you'll have to adjust your technique, and/or you may have to use a different polisher for the task at hand at times...
