Product Overview

I recently had the pleasure of using Griots Garage G9 Random Orbital Polisher in my detailing shop and I must say I was impressed. This polisher is a powerful Dual Action Polisher that features a 9mm throw and is perfect for removing scratches, swirls, haze, and oxidation with ease. With its 1,000 watt motor, it quickly removes defects while the fanned counterbalance keeps pad and paint temps low.

The G9 Random Orbital Polisher is equipped with a 6 backing plate, detachable power cord, and strategically placed double shot rubber grips which makes it extremely comfortable to use for long periods of time. It also has a hook and loop Velcro backing plate making it compatible with any of our 6 pads, including our BOSS line. This makes it easy to apply compounds, polish, waxes, and sealants.

In terms of value for money, the G9 is definitely worth investing in as it offers users an incredibly powerful machine at an affordable price point. Its also incredibly easy to use so even beginners can get up and running quickly without having to worry about complicated settings or controls. The maneuverability of this polisher is also excellent as its lightweight yet still packs plenty of power so you can move around easily while you work on different surfaces. The ergonomics are also quite impressive as the double shot rubber grips make it comfortable to hold for long periods of time while the Velcro backing plate makes changing out pads quick and painless.

The G9 Random Orbital Polisher from Griots Garage is perfect for both beginners and professional detailers alike. It features all the necessary features needed to ensure professional results while still being easy to use even by those who are just starting out in the detailing world. I highly recommend this polisher as its a great investment that will last you a long time if properly cared for.
