    Re: Cutting with HF DA?

    You can have the best polishers money can buy, but if you do not have a good system in place to work with that tool then your not going to get good results, The difference from a quality polisher and a low end polisher is going to be in the amount of passes need to make before removing defects in the finish. A harbor freight require 3-4 cycles before achieve the defect removal your looking to reach before finishing to where a quality machine would only take 3 passes and 1 cycle.

    So I’m guessing you consider the GG6, Meguiars MT300, Porter Cable, and every other 8mm polisher to be low quality and basically inadequate for any kind of actual defect removal eh? Because I know for a fact from having used all those polishers and then some that they’re all more alike than not.

    Well if you read my post correctly you will see that I’m stating that you can get the job done with any polisher out there, it’s just going to take longer and be less comfortable.

    In the 4yrs of owning the HF polisher I’ve never not once experienced a time when I had to do 3-4 polishing cycles to remove defects and something like the GG6 could’ve done it in 1. And no it doesn’t vibrate more either...



    I know that mentioning, let alone praising the HF polisher is frowned upon here, but that’s such a bogus statement.

    I’ll admit that I was wrong to bring the GG6 into this... It’s just not everyday that I see someone makes a blanket statement of basically calling all 8mm polishers “low end” vs. large throw polishers being “high quality”

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s basically what you’re saying, is it not?

    It's because the whole statement regarding having a good system contradicts the part about "low end" polishers needing more passes.

    Thanks for understanding, I know you're just trying to buff stuff out but there is a company that pays the bills around here and it's no Amazon, or eBay or Harbor Freight.
    I appreciate you not giving me the axe just yet.. I actually reread my post, after I made it and hoped it didn't sound like an advertisement. I have no knowledge nor have I ever used their product. Ran across a YouTube video and thought I'd give it a shot.

    I appreciate your suggestions about the GG6. I'll consider it.

    Lots of choices out there.. I really don't have a budget in terms of affordability, but it seems counter productive to go buy the best when I may only use it a couple times a year. Also seems silly to buy the worst if it's a clear failure in the making.

    I unfortunately have a 1,500' gravel driveway, so uber detailing sometimes goes by the wayside on my daily drivers. I do have a couple weekend toys that would enjoy the treatment though..
