@@Carlos.Rivera Hi Carlos: I have the same hesitation ... LOL.

No worries about build quality, that is an internal issue for Griots, because for us, IT IS A LIFETIME warranty! Nobody else even has more than just 12 months. This is a no brainer. Thank you for the blunt truth. :-)
I bought this yesterday and used it today on my wife's hood and headlights. We could see the headlight improvement and feel the wax on the hood (after using compound). Couldn't see the shine due to finishing at 1930. Looking forward to tomorrow tho. Also used it on my 2012 wrangler about 1/3 faded headlamps. Wow is all I have to say, like night and day on them.

And I'm a complete first time user just learned over the past week how to detail, polish and wax a vehicle due to watching a bunch o' vidz.
Nice job on the review. The only consistent knock I've seen in other reviews on the G9 is the vibration level. Personally, I don't have much of an issue with the vibration of the tool, but for others, it vibrates far too much to be used day in and day out.
I just ordered this polisher! Thank you for the in depth information and how to use. Really helpful and made the decision really easy. Thank you very much
Agreed. This is one fine machine in every aspect. Design was very well thought out. No shortage on quality on the internals either, will last a very, very long time.
We're hoping to see durability out of this machine too. It definitely has some great features and performs very well. Thanks for watching and commenting.
You guys need to review the other polishers just as you stated on your competition video The rupes mark 3 The maxshines polishers are the ones I feel people will love to see
Good day just want to say thanks for the information you been dropping on youtube, I was a bit hesitant about this tool but now I am going to get one, along side there small 3inch polisher. I'm not sure if you know at Dewalt electric start gas pressure washer now that would be a nice video don't see anyone doing a review on it maybe you can share . Have a great day and keep doing the good work your doing 🍻
Let us what you think about the polisher/s. We think you'll be very happy. We're trying to get the new DeWalt pressure washer in for review. Thanks for watching.
I’ve seen too many videos to know that this particular polisher has known issues with vibration. And that’s it. So, for the price, it’s a good trade off. So I bought one.
A lot of guyz are saying the BAUER 7.5 Amp 6 in. Long-Throw Random Orbit DA Polisher from harbor freight is equal in performance. In fact, more than 1 guy has said they think these both are the same tool just rebranded. !
I'm sure its a great machine, I'm just a old school rotary guy. when I first tried a forced rotation machine my mind was blown, its best of both worlds.
Old school 32 year rotary guy here and I like to try forced rotation..which one? I'm a makita guy for rotary..I like my regular da polishers but they have limits.thx!
How is the G9 holding up? I’ve seen mixed opinions about it because apparently the charging cord gets busted after a while. Is yours still working good?
No issues whatsoever and this polisher is used EVERY day on multiple vehicles by Chase (the detailer in the review). Most weeks, he's working 6 days a week. The early models had trigger issues, but they did a rolling change during manufacturing. Thanks for watching.
I bought the G9...actually just got done using it...and it kinda sucks. It vibrates too much...wears my arms out quick... especially on side panels. I might go with Adam's or Rupes...
Have you found a good machine yet? I had bought 2 different DA polishers off Amazon that were no more than 70 bucks each and did my first paint correction this week(with the help of my brother). I bought them months apart but it seems as though both were made in the same factory in china. Just had a different shell design with similar packaging. The vibration was pretty killer as a first timer but I got used to it. Looking to sell them and get a better tool as I think it was marring my paint in certain areas of the car.
@@thelonestranger777 I decided to go with Adam's 3" SK Pro because the majority of the panels I'm working on have a lot of dips and raised edges that you can't get to with a 5-6". It'll take slightly longer to get the job done, but I like having the precision and vibration is virtually nonexistent. As for the unit, it's way better than the G8. If I do decide to get a 5-6" orbital I'll definitely give Adam's a shot.
@@xxdemonshitxx Thanks for the input. I'm still trying to figure out which one's to get. Of course it's not a tool I'll use often, maybe once a year or so. I don't mind going for more expensive units. I do want a 3 inch for those tight areas as well. Was planning on getting the g9 based off the testimonies from this channels videos and it's price along with their their recommended 3 inch. If both the g9 and g8 come bundled on a super sale, it might push me towards their favor. My first time polishing was an eye opening experience. I totally underestimated just how long it would take and began rushing at the end. It looks better than before but definitely not the results I was expecting. Really wishing I had one if those heated 2 car garages right now.
@@thelonestranger777 I would highly advise against the G8 and less so the G9. The G8 is stalling *garbage*. I was just starting out when I bought this and panels were taking such a long time on just a soft to mid clear coat and I didn't understand why. I watched tons of reviews and how-to's and the subject of rotation or spin was rarely mentioned, so I didn't pick up on it until I had already investigated all other possibilities- speed, pad type, compound. Once I moved to the SK Pro, I realized just how important it was to have that spin. The G8 would stall even with the slightest of pressure on the flatest of panels. The difference between the G8 and the SK Pro is night and day. I sound like an Adam's sales rep right now only because I don't have anything else to compare the G8 to. As I've mentioned before, the vibration of the G9 is the biggest con for that unit. There's gotta be something better out there that won't tire you out so fast.
Hi this will be my first polisher I know it comes with 6” backing plate… Would you stay with 6” or go to 5” backing plate I’m a newbie so any advice would be helpful thanks for the great channel
I have one and seen other videos about having the same problem like I'm having which is the cord after second used it keeps cutting power after u move the cable it starts again u let it go and cuts off again good machine but that's the only problem I see a lot of people having whit it
Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you have an early version. I believe they made a rolling change in production to remedy this issue. You should turn it in for warranty. Thanks for watching.
Great video. Had one the chemical guys ones or who ever they use. Saw great reviews on this and yours put me over the top to buy. Used once and the vibration is nil and really balanced. One handed control is the best that I have used with other buddies and their.
I’m not polishing for a living but I do want the right tools to do my own personal jobs. I have a 40’ fifth wheel, a 32’ fiberglass powerboat, a big dually truck and a touring motorcycle, all of which I need to keep waxed and polished so they last and look good. I like the look, performance and price of the Groit’s G9. What other equipment would you recommend I acquire to keep the finishes looking good. Maybe a micro for the bike. Thanks for the shoot out video, I’m now subscribed.
We appreciate the sub. Sounds like you have an awesome fleet of motors. The Griots 3" polisher is a great addition, of if you want to spend a little more, the FLEX PXE80 is an awesome little polisher. Other than that, keep plenty of microfiber towels around and you should be good. Thanks for watching.

It's hard to beat the G9 for the price and warranty. We can't speak for the Torq. We tried to include them in our 23 Polisher shootout, but Torq wasn't interested, not sure why. Thanks for watching.
I bought a torq and it literally burnt out within one minute of use Just turned off and never turned back on. I just picked up a g9 today seems like a much better product
Have you reviewed the new Griots Garage G15? I can't find a review anywhere. I am in between the G9 and the G15 cause I want a bigger throw for paint correction and I havent pulled the trigger cause theres no reviews on it. To my understanding the G15 is a combination of the Boss g15 and the G9. With less OPM but more cutting power. What are your thoughts on it?
@@davidphillips2326 Thanks. That is a good feature. I went with the G9 instead though. First is cheaper and second all the reviews are good for performance and durability everywhere except for the cable cord apparently a lot of people have problem with those. But for the price and the lifetime warranty can't ask for to much. Apparently GG is very good with the warranty.
It's been a great polisher. Chase (the detailer) is still using it daily when he's not using a cordless. Some users have had issues with the trigger going out, but Griots replaces the unit with a new one under warranty. Our understanding is that they had a rolling change in production where they updated the triggers on all the new ones. Thanks for watching.

If you are planning to recome defects and apply a protection at the same time , then I highly recommend a All in one polish , cuts , polish and protects all at the same time , if you get this machine I suggest 3D speed and griots cutting pads or lake country SDO blue pads
These kind of reviews are kind of pointless if you dont tear it down and look at the construction and components. Also you have to use it extensively. Without that you cant have any opinion other than "it works"...eg you can polish paint with it. This is true for even the cheapest chinese knock off.
Not at all. Never been paid a penny from Griots and don't receive any form of compensation from them. I'm open to any concern you have with any of our specific points. Thanks for watching.
