How to: Polishing with the G9 Random Orbital Polisher and BOSS Creams & Pads 

I was thinking of doing the same then I thought about keeping the 6in. And converting it to a 3in. Decisions....

@@gambietti if you can afford to keep it, then yes. Convert to 3"

Probably rupes, flex etc. Which i find nonsense. I dont see why this cant be used on the daily.

I want to know that as well because many of the 1st running polishers have had power cutting out on them after 1 or 2 uses. I was going to buy one already, but I put that on hold for now. Maybe Griot's can address this here...

@@edo-j1784 My question been on here and other sites ...No response I sent mine back. Waiting for SEMA new products to come out.

Think of it as enough pressure to keep the pad flat/in-contact and maintain control. Let the pad and the product do the work.

@@GriotsGarageWhat size pad and backing plate was used in this tutorial?

@@RodneyCooperFilmz It's a 6" backing plate paired with 6.5" BOSS pads.

@@GriotsGarage Thank you. Is the 5 inch backing plate better than the 6 inch version?

@@RodneyCooperFilmz If you are seeking to cut down on time with paint correction, the 5" plate is a great upgrade. The smaller footprint focuses more energy for defect and swirl removal.

Once you make sure the panels are clean and ready for wax, you can proceed straight to applying Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax.

Question, I thought this two step process leaves a protective layer? Is it recommended to wax after? Or can you use either the correcting cream or the finishing and then move on to wax etc? Sorry just a bit confused about the steps. Thanks!

@@remvtec The 2-stop process doesn't leave a protective layer. It simply corrects the clear coat layer. It's a great time, after the 2-step process, to apply a layer of ceramic coating. A layer of wax is fine, but the wax wears out quickly. A layer of ceramic coating lasts a lot longer (1 to 2 yrs, depending on the brand of the ceramic coating.)

@@remvtec The two-step process is the paint correction process, not paint protection process. Step one of the paint correction is polishing the clear coat with polishing compound (which is more abrasive) to remove a thin layer of the clear coat, and in the process, remove all the tiny scratches and swirls. Step two is to "buff" the clear coat to a shine with a more fine-grained compound. That will result in a mirror like finish. The next step is the protection of that corrected clear coat with either wax or a ceramic coating. Ceramic coating is highly recommended because it protects the clear coat much, much longer than wax.

Hi there, is it stalling out when you approach edges/curves of the vehicle?

We recommend using a Black Foam Finishing or BOSS Finishing Foam Pad. You can find a reference guide at this link: griotsgarage.com/text/pdf/padproductref.pdf

We suggest 3-4 annual applications of Finishing Sealant. You can find a full breakdown of all our wax and sealant products here: www.griotsgarage.com/category/education+wax.do

@@GriotsGarage thank you! I actually didn’t expect a response from a year old video. That’s why you guys are the best.
