Ha Mike! I installed those plugs myself when participating in you Competition Ready Class

Hi Aaron,
The BOSS Micro Rotary Polisher is very efficient... 3cfm at 90psi. The compressor would run non-stop to keep up. For what you'd use the tool for...polishing motorcycle intricate parts, cutting in edges and tight spaces...your compressor should be adequate. I had a very similar compressor (Craftsman) and could run this tool productively... although I think my tank was 30gallon.

Mystery solved.

Most of the other Griot's 6" DA Orbital Polishers in our garage have metric bolts in them.

I don't think any of the tools with optional handles have the actual handles, not even the DeWalt Rotary buffers or Meguiar's MT300s.

I find most tools easier to control and operate by holding the head of the tool.

Plus the further away you extend your hand and arm away from the tool, (for example hoop handles), the more you will fatigue your muscles and grip.

Thank you Mike!!

I also love running my gg6 without the handle. Just seems much easier to control.

Very observant. I've never been one to use the D-Handle. The BOSS side plugs work fantastic on the 6" Random Orbital. Not only does it secure the head of the polisher...it looks sweet and clean! I've added the BOSS Plugs to future 6" Random Orbitals. It is a running change, but will eventually be included with the tool. At this point, there isn't provisions to buy the plugs as an accessory... But let me look into that for you guys.

Thank you for the reply Jeff.

I would love to buy a set of those plugs if possible. It just looks so clean.

When I received my 6 the first thing I did was take the handle off.

Thanks again!!

looks great i just did my car this weekend. i feel like no matter what you do you can never get every single superficial swirl or rids one hundred percent gone. no matter how much you polish there will always be some tiny imperfections hanging around if you get the perfect lighting on it. i mean can you really get an older car one hundred percent perfect?

What an amzing write up. Thank you for taking the time to share this job with such detail. I'm looking forward to getting some of those new GG items.

I think a person with time an patience can get what they have to work with to 99% perfection. There are always deeper defects that cannot be removed safely. As for minor stuff, don't sweat it. You're probably the only that sees them.


In my classes I use a term called Big Picture Detailing. This means focus on the majors panels and specifically the major visual portions of these panels.

Also consider if the car in question is a daily driver, there's more swirls and scratches in your car's future.

thanks mike, my father said the same thing basically. "look at the car overall" not just one little spot.
