was that paste wax you rubbed all over the black pad?

correct. this will ensure even application.

Please do this to my G!

How many hours and how much would this cost... Amazing work.. Glad I dont have swirls like that on mine, but amazing job. Looks Great!!

Is it normal for me to analyze your threads for minutes on end.:icon38: Amazing work as always.

Looks great Phil. Do you recommend the Griots polisher over the FLEX? How many passes did you have to make with it?

Shawn

Flex is on a different level than Griots. It's more expensive and has a higher learning curve to master. Once you get the hang of it, you can accomplish error correction faster than with lesser-powered tools.

The Griots is more powerful than the Porter Cable 7424XP, and the price was right (100-150), so that's what I got.

I've used both a PC and my buddy's FLEX. I love the FLEX, just wondered how the Griots stands up against it.

Flex > Griots > PC

fantastic work as always. the attention to detail is just crazy.
i love the shine after you applied that last coat of wax.
do this to my G!!
