Why is this? No one has said anything to me about it...
anyway, to the OP, I dont get it....you're not even detailing for money, what was so horribly slow about GG that you paid an extra 150 to shave all of an hour off your detail? Succumbed to overhype maybe? You're vehicles dont need extensive polish all the time so why not use a GG? Did you return it? Want to sell it? I want one.
I have no need for a Flex. I just got a Makita and it is very smooth and easy to use. I can use a DA for the awkward areas and finishing if needed...To each his own bro.
I'm the OP and I think you have me confused with someone else. I don't have a GG or a Flex...yet. My question was is the GG as good as the Flex? It seems the answer is no it's not but GG users here seem to think it's better because it's cheaper or they own one. I'm happy for you and your Makita...bro.

I don't care if I polish one car every five years, when I do, I want the best DA experience. Good enough reasons?
Exactly. I didn't ask anyone which machine is worth the money more. I asked which one was better. As I was saying in my first post I want a machine that can do 90% of what the combo of my Cyclo and Dewalt 849 can now, but in a lot less time. It appears to me that the Griot's is inferior as it doesn't have the forced rotation. I might be wrong though and this is why I'm here to learn.

What a moron, seriously. I understand he wants to sell his product, but damn, don't be foolish. I can't believe he said that...

Yeah thats cool I was more or less saying that if you're doing your own car why the rush to shave an hour thats all. People have been polishing paint with just a basic PC for YEARS. With the right polish and pad combo you can get anything out with a PC. It just may take longer. If you have serious defects you can always wet sand and then machine it out...was just trying to save a weekend warrior an extra 150. But if you can float the bill then by all means!

The GG does not have forced rotation. The build quality of the Flex is way better. There's been a few threads on how GG polishers have quit on them. The GG is not a bad polisher, I just think the 3401 is a lot better in several different ways.

What do you mean by that? They break down quickly?

I didn't have a problem with mine for the short time I had it, but there's been a few threads on how the GG have broke down on them. If you search, I'm sure you can find some threads. I'm not saying the GG is a horrible polisher, it's not! There's just a better DA out there........the FLEX 3401!!!

Re: The GG polisher is as good as the 3401?
NO WAY I can afford the Flex lol Nor do I need a $300 DA, I'll be fine with the GG. But this whole thing about it breaking down bothers me.. *sigh* Researching it will have to wait a few weeks tho.

using a Makita and a DA. Read the rules you cannot advertise anything for sale. You can trade, but not sell. Any yes, other sites allow you to sell, so post your UDM there.

I've heard of the 1st generation mini Griot breaking down, but only a couple new Griot having problems. Hell, even PC will sometimes have problems.
