For those with Griot's DA...

**Clutch34** · 01-18-2010, 01:29 AM

I want to order the Griot's DA in a few months but was wondering if it's worth it to get the one with the extended cord. I'll just be detailing family cars as well as my own, nothing for a side business or anything. Will I need the extended cord? How many of you Griot's DA owners got the extended cord?

Just looking for some opinions.

I just got the regular length cord and have no problems with it. Sparkie swears by the longer cord so it's up to you.

If you have a good quality extension cord then the HD version is not needed, 12 gauge is what you want for a extension cord. If you do not then the extended version would be a good option.

Oh yea, one more question: I plan on ordering some Meguiar's Soft Buff 2.0 pads with the Griot's so will I need a different backing plate, like the W68DA, or can I just use the backing plate that comes with it?

Go with the extended cord...the first time you walk around your car and the extension cord gets stuck under a tire and the plugs separate you'll understand. That gets old real quick. An alternative is to get an extension cord that has a locking receptacle to keep that from occurring...not a bad accessory to have regardless.

Outside of that...the Griot's DA polisher is excellent and you won't be sorry you bought it.
