Convince me to buy a Griots DA

[AKmikeSSter04]

Hey everyone,
I'm interested in this DA, i've had a PC 7336 since 2004, but left it with my wife in Colorado Springs. I'm mainly going to use the buffer on my daily driver and my family's vehicles. They're all Chevrolets and one BMW. The tahoe and suburban have swirls and i was planning on doing some correction on em this spring.

I thought about getting the Flex 3401, but its kinda pricey for me right now. I plan on getting some LC orange, white and their finishing pads. I also want to try the megs MF system.

So, why should i get this over another PC

I have the Griots DA and like it. I just recently got the optimum MF cutting & polishing pads and the Griots 3" DA but haven't got to use them yet. I've been hearing that if you get the Griot and MF pads then it will give the same results as the Flex. But I'm just repeating since I don't have experience on this matter.

I chose the Griots because it has a lifetime warranty...

I've only used the Griots DA so I can't tell you how the PC performs, but I love my GG DA. I maintain the family vehicles with it using 6.5" pads and everything comes out great.

Enough said.

For someone just doing my own cars and perhaps a friend's or family member's the GG was a no brainer--it is the most powerful of the DA's and the only one with a lifetime warranty. I just can't justify the cost of a Flex for someone just doing a few personal cars.

There are some reports of it breaking down which would be a problem for a pro detailer while waiting for a repair or replacement from Griots, but for weekend detailers like myself I don't find this a drawback.

As reported by others you can do everything with a GG and 5.5" pads you can do with a Flex, but it takes more time. I've read some reports by pros that they are using their rotaries less and less with the pads and products available today. Even seen a few using Purple Foamed Wool pads with the GG for heavy correction.

And to top it off you can find excellent deals on the GG from time to time that you rarely see for the other DAs. There is one going on now from another detailing company that I'm sure AG would match.

I decided to start with an assortment of flat foam pads in 5.5" and 4" then if I need more aggressiveness add some Optimum MF pads later.
