    Re: Worth the upgrade to Griots G9?

    Just took mine for it's inaugural spin, today. Pun intended.

    Wow, this thing's only $170 and comes with a Lifetime Guarantee? Glad I passed on the Rubes.

    I ran the 1-minute full-speed "test"...

    Re: Help me choose my first polisher

    Apologies. I thought you were directly responding to the idiom I posted.

    Must be huffing too much clearcoat.

    Re: Help me choose my first polisher

    Sorry, I should've clarified: I meant the Webster definition, "...a thing that can be bought for a very low price probably isn't very good".

    Will just have to again reiterate that in economics,...

    Re: sonax cut & finish ?

    Sorry to dig up an old thread.

    Question: is Cut & Finish supposed to be watery? I got a small bottle and it's very thin and splatters everywhere. Counterfeit maybe?

    Re: Help me choose my first polisher

    You can't go wrong with the idiom, "you get what you pay for".

    That's all I'm really saying. I'll leave it to the good folks of Autogeek to do that math on that.

    I'm not even sure what is the...

    It was implied via a one degree of separation reply quote (a reply to someone replying to me).

    Agreed everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, I wasn't opining. GDP/capita in China is one...

    Re: Help me choose my first polisher

    I would argue that by definition, they're all trying to cut costs. Hence why they're manufacturing in China in the first place.

    Am I really making controversial statements here?

    YMMV.

    I think you're arguing something entirely different here. I can't help to the extent that some components might, or might not be, outsourced.

    Nevertheless, what I think you're saying is,...

    This is a straw man argument. In the first place, I never claimed buying anywhere was a "guarantee of high level quality".

    Secondly, you are talking about Japan, not China. You are also talking...

    Ok? I'm not sure how that relates to my comment, though. :confused:

    Don't get the wrong idea here. I own Griots and Rupes. I buy American, I also buy from China. And I guess I buy Italy? But I'm...

    Alternatively, one can examine every product they get from China and see where plastic gears are used in place of metal gears, circuit boards have poorly soldered joints, etc... The few exceptions...

    I wouldn't use Apple as a proxy for goods made in China. Apple is a vertically integrated company and they own virtually every stage of their production. It's all very tightly controlled.

    Please do! I'm enjoying mine so far, paired with a Duetto.

    I'm all ears if you're going to do a re-test!

    Their website actually states that you should expect more vibration as compared to an RO due to the gear-driven of the machine.

    Re: RUPES Mille Review by 2black1s

    Rupes has a video on how to prime with and apply polish to the blue, as well as how to warm it up. Once I did that, I had no more problems. The new one is nice - smaller foam cells. I used it the...

    I sent two over the last couple weeks. Just look for two that have received no response.

    Doesn't really matter, at this point. I got the issue resolved via the manufacturer.
