    Griot G9

    I currently have a PC 7424 (not the XP) and was considering the purchase of a G9. Would this be an upgrade from the PC 7424. I am only using it on my wifes and my own car.

    Definitely..more power and life time warranty. Put a 3"backing plate on the PC for tight areas, headlights, carpet cleaning etc.

    Does the lifetime warranty only apply if you buy from Griots?

    Not unless it's from a black market source.

    I would probably buy from Autogeek along with some other items.

    I thought if it wasn't direct, you'd be dealing with the place you bought it from if you had a issue. Direct, I believe they also have a 180 day return policy.

    Autogeek regularly does 15% sitewide though.

    Grab the Griot's 5" backing plate and 5 1/2" pads in your order.

    Yes, the G9 has enough a$$ to churn the 6". But I have found it very unpleasant to use. (Unless you were to be working on the sides of cargo vans all day long).
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    And if someone is doing that, they should get a 21mm throw polisher and the 7” pads. But otherwise, I agree that the G9 works great with the 5” pads though to be fair, I never tried the 6/7” pads on it to compare.
