Griots Boss System & Fast Correcting Cream/Perfecting Cream

**ski2** · 10-18-2015, 07:47 AM

I bought the 15 when the Boss first came out. My reasoning was that I'm not doing this for income so speed of correction is not an issue--most concerned with lack of vibration and no need to add pressure while polishing. I felt the smaller orbit and smaller pads would allow me to polish closer to protruding objects like mirrors etc and I wouldn't have to switch to my GG6 with 4" pads as often. Also, felt there would be less stalling when polishing concave surfaces.

Well I couldn't be happier--very little stalling with 2 washers installed, I can polish almost everything with the 15 with the exception of bumper areas, near the license plate. And, it's cut down the number of passes I usually do with the GG6 by half. Even with my B&S 5.5" pads it's lack of vibration is excellent, but with some new pads (designed for long throw polishers) I've been using it's outstanding.

Thanks for this review. This system is definitely something I'm considering when I upgrade.

Thanks for the great review! Nice seeing some others giving the pads and polishes a try.

If you didn't happen to pick up some of the Fast Cut MF pads, definitely give them a try! You will see a noticeable increase in cut and they are great for working out the RIDS and other deeper defects. With no foam backing they will have a little more vibration and they can't contour like the foam backed MF pads, but are excellent on the flat areas.

Yes, I commented about how great the MF pads are. They truly are a game changer for me. I bought a bunch and this will now be my go to pad when working on darker vehicles. I enjoy your reviews as well, keep up the good work!

Scott, it looks like there are two different types of microfiber pads. Some with foam backing and some without. I believe you used the ones with foam backing. The other microfiber pads are not part of the BOSS system.

Chad, do the fast pads cut better than Megs discs?

I only noticed the BOSS MF pads mentioned/shown in your review.

The Fast Cut pads have no foam backing.

Haven't done a side by side yet. I did notice the Groit's seem to translate less vibration though, likely from the backing material used or the longer fibers used. My guess would be Megs cuts a hair more but Griot's finishes better (based on previous usage).

I stand corrected! Hence I learn something new everyday! I will try these out for sure.

Great write up! I don't have a polisher yet and I'm not sure of which to start out with, the 15 or the 21...

If I understand you---not much difference between the 2 and to start out, the 15 will be just fine...right?

You got it tom. Read everyone's comments. Nice info on this thread. But the 15 will suit you just fine for many years to come. Enjoy.
