This video focuses on daily driver vehicles that have been washed, surface prepped. The three-step method we’re covering here outlines the correction steps needed to address the correction of more severe defects. It includes an aggressive correction step, a perfection step that addresses any remaining fine defects, and a protection step that safeguards the finish against the elements.
I didn't think I needed another 8-9mil throw polisher but hands down one great tool! Has more power and more cutting ability then my old small throw polisher. Hats off to griots and the team! Machines are good and the products are unreal! 💪
I bought one of these and I love it. I actually dropped it in salt water detailing a boat and it still works. Great polisher for the money
We're so glad you're loving your G9!
Wow!!! I have always loved Griot’s and recently upgraded to the G9 as well. How did you avoid electrocution in the water incident? I’ve always wondered about using electric polishers to do boats.
Great demonstration, Sam! I appreciate your in-depth knowledge of when, why, and how to select different pads. I reliably achieve amazing results with Griot's Garage three-step system. Personally, I prefer using a ceramic sealant because of its increased longevity. Thank you for supplying such amazing products and training materials. 3:54
I use this 3 step process all the time very satisfied with the results and products very good products GOD BLESS!!!!!!! ✌🏻from Ga.
I adore Griot’s garage. Best shop ever around
Thanks for the love!
Every Google search I do it says to polish between 1200 - 1800rpm, but the g9 slowest speed is 2000rpm. 3m says to polish around 1200rpm with the machine polish.. what gives?
Personally I like the boss system better I've used it on three vehicles and all three of them turned out fantastic
I just bought a G9 and can't wait to use it on my vehicles. Should I do one panel at a time completely (all three steps), or do the whole vehicle step by step?
Hi Pat, thanks for picking up a G9! We suggest doing the whole car step by step
Noob question here:
When i use these 3 steps do I do one step on my entire vehicle, then the second step on my entire vehicle, followed by the third step? Or should I do all 3 steps in each panel/section at a time?
Also, do i need to wash the pads in between each panel?
I’m gonna be tackling my severely neglected 08 Gray Chevy Silverado Crew Cab
If you're doing the whole vehicle we typically complete each step before moving on to the next step. We recommend swapping out your pads a few times during the process, however it is not necessary to wash after each panel, you can wait to wash all the pads until the end of the detail. Before swapping out for a new pad, you can either user compressed air or a tool like our pad condition brush to clean up the pad.
Could I do the similar with the BOSS fast correcting cream(with white foam pad) then BOSS finishing sealant(with black foam pad) or is it best to use the microfiber pad to start?
No need to wipe down panel after scratch removal before applying best in show wax so it’ll bond better?
If u were gonna apply a 5yr ceramic coating, not a spray temp one, is step 3 necessary? Waxing would just get wiped off with final IPA wipe down before application
Correct, you can skip the third step shown here if applying a high solids ceramic coating
Can I use it this on hardwood stair to clean it or screen?
The g9 is 9mm throw
Today I used my G9 for a second time and it started to sound different. And sometimes it started to go on the fastest speed eventhow I dialed to a lower speed it keeped going to the faster speed. I think something got broken with my tool. Very disappointed. I don’t know If it can be replaced at this time. But even if I can get it replaced I have to pay for shipping and hadeling to Venezuela and it is about $40 extra dollar each way. I am trying to start my detailing business with a low bugget so this issue is a big deal.
Hi Tico, we're so sorry you're having some issues with your G9! Unfortunately we cannot warranty machines outside of the US as we do not currently sell internationally. That being said, if you bought from a US supplier the warranty could be handled through them.
GAD! Just step up to the plate and help this guy out. For gosh sakes!@@GriotsGarage
I used the complete compound with the Orange pads on my black car and it turned out great.. Is there an advantage to using the micro fiber pad with the Complete Compound?
Using a Microfiber Finishing Pad will speed up the correcting (defect removal) ability of Complete Compound. It is best to try a small area first to check your results.
Nobody anywhere talks about the SPLATTER that goes everywhere. How-to avoid it. What is going on. So much extra work, let alone all over the black vinyl.
Hello, do you have a shop in Europe?
My G9 has only been used four times now and the pads won’t hardly stay on. They just keep falling off and the highest speed setting isn’t as high of rpm as it was when I first got it. Definitely not running like it did at first.
Griot’s has the lifetime warranty on manufacturer defects.
Did you reach out?
@@mikeeonfiya no I sure haven’t yet. I just quit using it and haven’t made time to mess with it. That’s part is my fault.
@@johnblack8187 from what I hear from other detailers, they’ll ship you a new one no questions asked. Their customer service is awesome.
The G9 makes polishing so fun and cathartic.
Hope you’ll be back at it to polishing my friend!
Yes it is.
Yourpublic complaint is not warranted without giving the company a chance to stand behind their product warranty.

Can this Complete product line be used on marine gel coat? If not, does Griot’s carry any for marine use?
It sure can! We have many customers using these products on marine applications.
I’m still asking if you fix de brushes problem from the G9? I’m in love with the G9 polisher, but still scare to buy it and get damaged...
If there's an opportunity, it's best to try it out in person.
The G9 is covered by our 180-day worry free guarantee as well as our Lifetime warranty against manufacture defects. griotsgarage.com/category/customer+service/customers+for+life+-+100-+guarantee.do
How much does the G9 weigh?
Is the g9 a fixed gear polisher?
Do you need some sort of pad conditioner or can you get away with just priming the pads
Nope, you can just prime the pads!
Griot’s Garage, after the polish process, do you suggest applying/wiping an IPA to the paint before the final wax?
And after the wax, what do you recommend applying to the paint? Ceramic wax?
Hey Luke, you absolutely can use an IPA wipe on the paint however it is not entirely necessary. We often give it a quick wipe down with speed shine.
And after the wax, depending on what wax you've used we have a few quick detailers that work well for those quick clean ups between washes. If you're going to use Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax, we'd suggest two coats of it on it's own.
What does ipa mean?

Can you attach 1-3” backplate into this one??
In a Live Griot’s says technically yes, but the shroud will get in the way.
G9 Vs Adams swirl killer
Is this good for removing deep scratches
Hi August, without seeing the scratches it is tough to say for sure but the G9 is capable of removing severe scratches with the right pad and product. As a general rule of thumb, if you finger nail catches on a scratch it's deeper than can be polished out and will typically require body work.
Do you plan on having a sale anytime soon that would include the g9?

As a beginner am i able to use the boss correcting cream, boss perfecting cream, using the boss orange pads and boss yellow pads
Absolutely! Those products are quite easy to use and get familiar with and would be great for a beginner paired with a G9.
Question : once you use the pads on a vehicle once are they able to be washed and used again or one and done?
Question 2: I noticed you didn’t Clay the paint before starting is that a necessary step in the prepping process
Last question: Does it matter whether you polish your car in direct sunlight or preferably in a garage or shaded area.
Great questions, Carlos!
1. Our pads are designed to be washed and re-used multiple times. We suggest adding in our Microfiber & Foam Pad Cleaner in with your choice of laundry detergent when washing them. This video covers step by step how we suggest caring for your pads to make sure they last: czcams.com/video/a6D_Bj2cPYQ/video.html
2. This video picks up where you would start following decontaminating the vehicle. We always recommend using a clay bar or chemical to decontaminate the surface prior to polishing.
3. We recommend polishing in a garage or shaded area when possible, but recognize that is not always an option. That being said, you can certainly polish in direct sunlight just be mindful to wipe off the polish reside quickly and work in smaller areas to be able to polish and wipe in a short time period. In extreme heat you may notice that it takes a bit more elbow grease to wipe the polish away than normal.
Just bought the G9, could u do a video of a really jacked up hood or door?
We'll let the video team know this has been requested!
O C D. . .
My local Autozone has this polisher but box naming is marked like the old 6" orbital polisher not G9.
One of two boxes i saw had the older model in box. Clerk at store thought it was a factory mistake in shipping.
Some AutoZone stores are working through inventory of the 3rd generation Random Orbital. So in the short term you may see a mix of the 6" and G9.
@@GriotsGarage is the 3rd generation thzt looks like a G9 compatible with the 3" pads?
If you're asking about the G8 (www.griotsgarage.com/product/g8+mini+random+orbital+polisher.do), yes it is designed for both 2" and 3" pad systems.
@@GriotsGarage no askong about the 6" orbital that has 3" pad accessories on your web site. The new G9 isn't compatible with as many pad accessories like the heavy-duty 3" size.
The 3rd gen 6" (part 10813) will work with a 3" pad when you add the HD 3" backing plate.
(www.griotsgarage.com/product/3+inch+heavy+duty+orbital+backing+plate.do).
Are you guys going out of business? So many of your products are and have been out of stock on Amazon, where I buy your products because their shipping is so much faster!!!
Definitely not going anywhere! Sorry you're experiencing some issues finding our products on Amazon, the supply chain issues happen right now are continuing to create some delays.
I have read lots of complaints about the customer service with Griots. Warranties don't mean anything if you don't stand behind them.@@GriotsGarage
