    Tim, if you polish your paint and then take the correct steps in the washing/drying processes, you only need to polish once a year, or even every other year depending on your needs.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    I know how it’s funny and I’m laughing right along with you, but I was also completely serious when I said 60 times.

    The guy from Chicago Auto Pros documented it in a fairly recent video that he posted. 60 times aggressively compounding with a Rupes on a Porsche before he struck through the clearcoat. He took readings with a paint meter through the process. I’ll try to link the video in a bit.

    If your looking for a g9 griots has it for 129.98 right now through 4/10. Autogeek will probably pricematch if you can get through to them.

    Most other polishers on sale too.

    I run a G9 with 5in backplate and 5.5 pads, very satisfied of the price vs quality/performance.
    I'm an amateur tough.

    Would buy again!
    -even ordered a g8 lol
