BEST CAR POLISHER SHOOTOUT - 23 Orbital Polishers Head to Head [PRO CORDLESS & DIY]

Yes yes yes for sure oh yes it's really great oh yes .......

Small rectification polishers need to be compared Eg Flex P8 1---3 inch rotary 120--240AC volt . Kicks butt for small jobs
Great for glass and small paint fixes and accesses small curves easily

Excellent video, and all I needed to give me the needed push. I just pulled the trigger on Griot’s G8&G9 kit they sell for $329 which includes 2x 6” orange pads, and 2x 3” pads as well as a few other items. I’ve been reading reviews, and watching videos on all of the polishers from chemical guys (torq) all the way up to flex or rupes. I appreciate the time and dedication it took to complete all of this work to compile such great info. Priceless feedback! Cannot wait to start polishing :)

I have G9 and G8 and do a couple boats and several cars per year very satisfied. I’ve had a Flex impact for two years charged the battery once have done several lift kits on Jeeps and numerous other projects have not had to charge it again what a awesome battery!!

its a shame that Torq/Chemical Guys turned down. Because I bought one of their units about 5 years ago and I still use it. It is in fact better than the newer 3M DA I have been given the chance to try out. The Torq can handle concave surface MUCH better, as where this 3M can barely works its way over them.

I didnt learn a damn thing about anything watching this video. From what I gathered, it's a bunch of guys assigning values to tools as if they are sitting round a bar and assigning numbers to women. Like what went into assigning a score? How about some fairly basic info about builds, like a very basic question when it comes to power tools: is it brushed or brushless motor? Do those scores represent value for money? This video, much like this comment running on as it is, is pretty much someone saying a bunch of product names and someone else going, "yup, like that one", "nope, didnt like that one".

MAKITA THE BEST!

No milwaukee ? Not a competition . Not going to watch the video any further.

Vibration less in cordless? Or G9 the least about of vibration? If I want the smoothest operation and least vibration which one?

Exactly

My Griot’s G9 broke in less than a year as a hobbyist. The button you have to push pushed in and wouldn’t come out. I’m looking for better construction.

thank you for taking the time and doing such a big review it helped me very much so thank you my brothers!

Advice: Do not buy this off Amazon. The Home Depot has promotions for cordless ones where you can buy the tool only and get a free battery shaving $100 off the cost.

definitely this is a Griots paid review!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you think about using an orbital with a cutting pad?

Could I assume the Griots G15 is equally as good as the G9?

What do you need me to do?... Just say "YUP"

None of these are for DIY's or beginners.

I'm brand new to all this so hopefully this isn't a dumb question but what about Milwaukee? I'm a fan of their brand do they offer a polisher as good as some of the brands in this video?

Ha. Didn't realize my 20 year old PC needed upgrading!

Lmao listening to the detail videos is hilarious. If someone walked in on you and had no idea what you were watching it would be very interested. “I prefer the 5 inch over the 6 inch”. “It just depends how it feels in your hand”. “It just depends how you beat on her” lmao 😂

That review is great for somebody who’s using them everyday. How about if I’m going to use it one or twice a year?

Wow, lots of work to do that video. Keen to know how the Milwaukee cordless performed too. Thanks 😊

This should be called paid promotion lol

Makita PO5000C for $400 is entry level? DIY, weekend warrior, entry level for $400?!!!! What makes it "entry level"? Clearly not the price.

so griots paid you?

Great job.Thank you 👍

Chemical Guys not reviewed says a lot about what they think of their competition and the quality of their product.

Lol chemical guys said, I ain’t sending shiiii for free

Appreciate the effort put into this video

I’m Upgrading from the harbor freight 6” would which one would u recommend me buying I’m on the fence between the g9 or the shinemate 620 “5/15

What would Jesus choose to polish his ride?

Great video!!!

"it's hard to hold on to, it's not very long . . . ", that's what he said.

c0\/1d: history's biggest ever psy0p

Very thorough review, thank you. Only issue I have is that machines like the Griot have American plugs, and Europeans also use polishers :) So we need an adapter for that plug.

Chemical guys suck that’s why haha 😂

Hi do you ship worldwide or to Dubai?

For entry level the Makita PO5000C is 374 bucks just for the tool, that for me is not entry level at all. Compared to the runner up for a whole kit is 280 bucks. Prices might have changed in a year but I don’t think inflation made it that bad.

Ouch, bad look from chemical guys..

I am almost sold to forced rotation as it will not keep stopping at curves and edges of some crazy toyota cars :)
The only point holding me back from going forced rotation is absence of knowledge if forced rotation machine will always finnish very well with one step compound leaving no holograms as well on black paints. At Least on German cars.
Scholl s20 one step compound and medium cutting pad / blue spider pad combo for example to remove moderate to heavy swirls to 85-95% perfection = 85-95 % defects correced while super lttle haze and 0 holograms left after 2 passes= left to right and up snd down = 1 cross

That that's because polishers especially like the roof has the high-end polishers are made as a package like the Bigfoot Lopez it's a package the pads go with the polisher and are made as such to perform the best together

Milwaukee clearly needs to get into the DA business

I’m surprised that Rupes didn’t want in on this. I was tempted to buy one until I saw this video.

How do you consider the Makita PO5000C an entry level with that large price tag?!

Hell of a review ..very helpful 🤟👽

I know this video is a year old now so you may or may not see my question.
What makes the Makita an entry level at ~$300, while the G9 is pro at ~$140? Also, if the G9 is that great and at a relatively low price point, is there any reason for a beginner diy guy like myself to buy one of the others instead? I guess I just don't understand what makes one corded unit pro vs entry level. It just seems to me like those 2 categories could've been put together, with cordless and micro being separated for obvious reasons. Maybe I'm missing something.

c'mon guys, seriously? Putting Makita in the 'entry level' category? It's better than the Rupes by far. Rupes is lighter, but doesn't "feel" professional grade. I'm just waiting to have to call in the warranty on this thing. Makita is USA built, solid AF, and works like a beast. A little heavy, but you get used to it.
