Re: Griot's Garage products
DO not get it. Griot's has some good stuff, but their polishes and best of show wax are sub par. They were the first ones I had and they do nothing but make your life much harder. I suggest getting a different kit or buying things in pieces.
Re: Griot's Garage products
Thanks IOMCAMARO for the fast response.
AG has awesome detailing kits with the PCXP, but nothing besides GG products with the GG ROP. I sort of gathered a "kit" through the store which came up to be around $500. I was thinking, might as well just do a decent purchase for free shipping and free banner, plus ACURAZINE 10% discount. Im just arguing with myself trying to justify the purchase. It will be my first time with a DA.
Re: Griot's Garage products
The Griot's buffer seems to be the best one for the money for sure, but the Best of Show Wax is very difficult to remove, and comes out of the bottle stringy. It does offer deep rich looks, but looks brownish to me, which I don't really like. There are many LSPs that are easier to use and are better looking and offer more protection. I used Best of Show on one car back in the early 90's and have not used it since. I still have the rest of that bottle left, along with an unopened one. It will likely stay that way.
I have not used their machine polish, only their fine hand polish, and I have actually been very satisfied with that as a hand polish.

Also, I first thought of just sticking with a bunch of XMT products first, more like the learning process, and then jump to Menzerna and WG after I REALLY get the hang of it. But then thought, how difficult is really with a DA and patience? Maybe i should just get the Menzerna and WG products now. Thoughts?
Since no school and work, I've been on AG forum doing a lot or reading! Addicting and so much GREAT info!

LOL, i guess i will stay away from the GG kit with the Best of show. Thanks!
Re: Griot's Garage products
5.5" pads are definitely better for the GG 6" ROP. The 6.5" pads will work, but they take longer and don't get as good results.
Re: Griot's Garage products
how does 3 orange, 3 white, 3 black, 1 yellow, 2 blue sound? I watched a youtube clip of WG sealant being applied with a red pad. Im assuming it would be no problem using the blue pad for both wax and sealant and it is best to just use one pad for the LSP to not waste product?
Again, thanks for all the advice and helping out a newb.
Re: Griot's Garage products
I want to watch this thread also because I too bought the GG DA 6" buffer for Christmas but I'm not sure which of the 5.5" LC pads to buy. Once I start I don't want to need a pad I don't have once I start. Thanks, Spiney-Dave
