What tools are you guys using?
 

Currently using the Harbor Freight DA orbital polisher. For 55 bucks, it's awesome tool. I think I'm going to swap to a smaller back plate for those cramped places.

With Cyber moday sales, picked up the new GG Boss G15 polisher. I think I'm hooked on detailing. Going to do my family's cars and hopefully a friends beast of a Cobra.

i use the trusty old porter cable 7424

i only use it once or twice a year, no sense in me buying a new one

Yeah, I got the more expensive polisher hoping to start doing detailing on the side. Plus the HF made my hands numb and was LOUD. lol Oh yeah, lifetime warranty on the boss polisher :thumbsup:

I have had the Porter Cable 7424XP from around the time it came out, its been an excellent tool, plus you can change the backing plate on the fly for smaller pads. I like that feature for tight spaces. Report back on how you like the Griot's tool, it seems like they are going after that Rupes market with the new boss tools.

This:

Hmm cost too much. I just use nature. Rain and tree wax for that awesome shine. Oh don't forget the bird poop to make it stand out! :happyanim:

On a serious note, I just use an ac drill with a orbital adapter and what humfrz posted.

I have an older meguiar's g100 DA (same as porter cable) upgraded to the microfiber DA pads.

I use ellbow grease. Those things will leave swirls all over your car.

So you're saying a polisher made to remove swirls will instill more swirls? lol

Used the machine that will "leave swirls all over your car" the other day.

Unfortunately. . . I could not produce any swirls.
