Re: Car Detailing History - First Generation Griots Garage Polisher
Continued....
I meet a lot of people ready to make the change from polishing and waxing by hand to polishing and waxing by machine and if that describes you then this is a great value for your first polish.

Very cool, Mike. Thanks for sharing the history. I predominantly use my MKII 15mm and 3401 but I picked up a clean 2nd gen and 3rd gen GG6. They are great tools which surely get the job done.

Re: Car Detailing History - First Generation Griots Garage Polisher
Way cool! Just curious....I have the PC7424XP, I believe the earlier version was the PC7424. Was there an earlier version? If so what type was it. Either way, cool pics of the OLD GG.

Kamakaz, I don't know if this answers your question directly but my first Porter Cable was a 7336. The 7424 wasn't out yet when I bought my first PC. I still use it!

Re: Car Detailing History - First Generation Griots Garage Polisher
there was also a 2nd gen GG6 that came out (pictured below) with the removable backing plate which had basically the same body style as the 1st gen with a different cosmetic change or two. also, the first batch of the 2nd gen had the sticker which read polish 5-6 wax 3-4 and some time after it changed to polish 4-5 wax 2-3. the GG6 (LIL' BOSS) is an awesome DA (lots of torque/power) and if anyone is looking for a traditional pc-style DA and only wants one polisher, i would highly consider it (over the pcxp any day of the week) and you can buy different backing plates/pads to adjust to what you are wanting to accomplish (very versatile). there really isn't much you can't do with it given the variety of different pads/polishes/compounds that are available these days...

I think I'm the only guy in our industry that knows or remembers our history and also knows how to type.
Just a guess... I don't see much content from anyone else anymore...

Re: Car Detailing History - First Generation Griots Garage Polisher
I bought my first polisher from Griot's Garage in 1997. I remember it because I also had a new truck that year to use it on. It wasn't anything unique. It was a rebranded Porter-Cable (7336 I think?). I still use it today.
