    Looking for a DA polisher upgrade to my Griots 6"

    Hello all, I want to take advantage of boxing day sales and I think it's about time I upgrade my polisher. I currently have a griots 6" polisher with a 5" backing plate that I don't particularly like too much. I don't have experience with other polishers but this one vibrates too much and also weighs too much. I was looking at possibly Adam's swirl killer 15mm or even the Adam's SK Pro 15mm. Has anyone had experience with the griots and other polishers? I should mention SK pro would be my max budget.

    Without using your G9 so I could compare it to mine, I couldn't say if yours has an issue or not.
    My G9 is smooth as butter and isn't heavy IMO.

    How long have you had it, also how many times have you used it?

    I don't have the G9, I have the older model. And it had these problems since it was brand new so I'm not sure. I have to wear anti-vibration gloves otherwise my hands will go totally numb after maybe half the car is done.

    Oh...I read it wrong.

    Get a G9 and you won't be disappointed.....

    For what its worth a friend just got a g9 and loves it.
    How many vehicles do you do?

    Any interest in forced rotation?

    I use the Adams SK15 at work a lot.

    Very smooth operation.

    I have used the GG6, and between the two I'd go for the SK15.

    I just picked up a used Adams SK Pro 15 for a steal. We'll see how this works out.
