Griot's Garage G9 Random Orbital Polisher 10901 – 1000-Watt Dual Action Buffer for Car Detailing, Polishing, Waxing, Swirl and Scratch Removal – 6" Backing Plate, Variable Speed, Ergonomic Grip

I recently used the Griot's Garage 11558 G9 Orbital 2-Step Ceramic Kit on my black car, and I have to say, it’s a game changer! My vehicle has never looked this good. The G9 orbital polisher is incredibly user-friendly, making the polishing process smooth and efficient. The ergonomic design feels great in the hand, allowing for extended use without fatigue. The variable speed settings let me customize my approach for different surfaces, and the random orbital motion provides a flawless finish with minimal risk of swirl marks. The ceramic products included in the kit are top-notch. The prep and polish stages made a noticeable difference in the depth and clarity of my car's paint. The ceramic sealant added a brilliant shine and offered impressive protection. I’ve received compliments from friends and family, and I can honestly say my car has never looked so vibrant! The kit also comes with everything you need to get started, which is a huge plus. I appreciate the quality of the pads and the ease of cleanup afterward. If you want to elevate your car’s appearance and protect it at the same time, I highly recommend the Griot's Garage G9 Orbital 2-Step Ceramic Kit. It’s worth every penny and has transformed my detailing routine!

Complete set for the job. Used it to wax my car and I was able to get an excellent job in a bit over an hour. The G9 is a super tool, easy to use, minimal vibration and buffs out nicely. Would recommend the purchase.

I MADE MY WIFE'S 2019 TOYOTA RAV 4 BUGUNDY RED FINISK LOOK BRAND NEW! A LITTLE POLISH SQUEEZED OUT ON THE PAINT, AND THIS BUFFER SPINS DEEP SCRATCHES OUT, AND AFTER WIPR OFF AND BUFF, THE DEPTH OF THE SHINE IS LIKE LOOKING INTO A REFLECTING POOL OF WATER! GREAT QUALITY BUFFER, WHEN YOU ARE TOTALLY IN CONTROL OF THE PRESSURE, SPEED AND SHINE! FOLLOW UP WITH CERAMIC COATING, AND YOU HAVE A NEW SHOWROOM SHINE, READY FOR WINTER SALT PTOTECTION! A NÈEDED TOLL IN YOUR ARSENAL- GO WITH THIS ONE !!! 5 STAR REVIEW.

I got this for personal use, have done lots of detailing in the past.

As the title says, this is a great tool. That doesn't mean there aren't things I dislike about it, though. The G9 has been reviewed and videoed to death, but I'll add my thoughts anyway. I'm not totally inexperienced in auto detailing, okay? First, the trigger lock. It's poorly designed and badly located on the G9. Whoever designed it should be made to go sit in a corner for a while, wearing one of those pointy hats to focus his thoughts. The trigger lock isn't large enough for really good touch control. The user has to really make an effort to engage it. It doesn't stick up enough from the tool's body to be felt really well, and it doesn't always engage on the first try. I've actually had to remove the tool from the sheet metal and LOOK at the button to make sure it's on. That's a pain in the butt. A simple slider switch or even a toggle would've worked better than the push button. Or just make the button BIGGER and with a more positive click-stop! It's simply not a natural movement to engage the trigger lock. Second, the lock-in power cord. Well, it doesn't always lock in, okay? The one on my G9 has come loose several times, and yes, I do know how to plug a cord in to a tool. Another pain in the butt. You're polishing away and all of a sudden you lose power. Frustrating to say the least. The only real advantage to having a removable cord is that it makes it easier to store the tool when you're done with the job. One final caveat, and it has nothing to do with quality or function. The G9 is not a lightweight piece of equipment. It weighs 5 pounds without the cord. Five pounds doesn't sound like much, but after using the tool for 15 minutes or longer on vertical body panels, it seems to be increasing in weight by the minute. You'll feel this in your shoulders. So be prepared for that. All in all, the G9 is worth the price and does a fantastic job once you really begin to understand the techniques of paint correction and polishing with it. Just be aware that it isn't as easy as it looks in Griot's promotional and "how to" videos. Bottom line? The G9 is a quality piece of equipment. Don't be afraid to spend your money on it. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

This was my first shot at applying touch-up paint on an auto. After initially applying the paint to a small area, I made several rank amateur mistakes (such as using the wrong sandpaper grit, which only increased the damaged area). After rectifying these errors and repainting, I used the G9 kit. The results were magic! I applied a small amount of the cream, used the random orbital polisher for seconds, and the results were perfect to my old eyes. BTW, the TouchUpDirect paint kit on Amazon was a perfect match for the metallic black of my Chevrolet Trax.

I was on the fence when I was looking for a buffer / polisher but finally made the investment to get this. Its super easy to use feels solid and after using it the paint shine is amazing! Should have bought one sooner.. much easier than trying to hand wax and the results look better.

Great started kit for the DIY. Got out the fine swirl marks with the orange pad. I also bought best of Show Wax and used the red softer pad at the end. Wow my Vista Blue 2006 Mustang really shines

I tried a few polishers before buying this one and I must say that the quality/price ratio is really unbeatable. I am not a professional but I wanted something that allowed me to do quality work on my cars. The machine is really quiet compared to a lower end and it is really comfortable to use. It is also rather light, which allows working several hours without stopping. I use it as much for the bodywork as for the headlights. I would recommend it to everyone who wants their own machine!

Excelente calidad.

Time will tell how durable this machine is, however it has a lifetime warranty so I'm not worried. Very comfortable to use and lets you cover a lot of surface area quickly. I know there are some people discontent about it being a fixed speed trigger, but I found you can fan the trigger to get it spinning slowly while spreading the polish initially. Also, for complaints about vibration, you are probably not centering the pad correctly, pressing at an angle, insufficient product, or the pad itself is damaged/unbalanced. Also, it will stall out if you try to squeeze it in tight areas, which is no surprise as you should use a smaller 2 or 3" pad in those areas. Great product.

Recomendada Al 100 súper buena máquina!

Buen producto
