    Griots and 5.5" pads ?

    Griot's Garage 6 inch Random Orbital Polisher, Dual action buffer, DA polisher

    Is it possible ? I read alot of people use the 5.5" pads with the Wolfgang twins and just wondered if I can use this size with the Griots ? If it is possible how about offering it as a kit with LC pads ?

    If I were you I would just use 6.5" pads

    Yes, you can use LC pads with the Griots unit

    If your dead set on purchasing a BP, get a 3" or 4" so you will actually have something you can use

    Good luck and God bless

    BTW...Thats a great price. I would order the 25' cord unit

    Re: Griots and 5.5" pads ?

    Ok , I just seen where the product seems to cut better with the 5.5" pads. I dont mind using the 6.5" pads though if they work well. I guess what i am asking is if the Griots has the same thread diamater as the PC DA ?

    I have the Griots DA and I got the 5" BP with 5.5" pads. And I have the wolfgang twins, however I haven't had a chance to use them yet. I used my 6" pads with KAIO and it worked pretty good.

    Re: Griots and 5.5" pads ?

    I'm not trying to tell anyone which wax to use, but if I were you I would order the following

    1) Megs 105

    2) Megs 205

    3) Menzerna 85rd

    Menzerna Power Lock is one of the best sealants out there IMO
