Griot's Garage 6-Inch Dual Action Random Orbital Polisher Review

Right now you can get this polisher for around $200 if getting it directly from them. However, you can also save about $25 buying it from other sources. You don't need to worry about lack of warranty or anything like that so we suggest doing that.

Depending on what you already have in your detailing supplies it might be better to get one of their packages that comes with several different pads, as you will need to buy them eventually.

Features

• RPM

Once turned on, the Griot's Garage 6-Inch Car Polisher will produce 2,500 – 6,800 orbits per minute (OPM). Now that is something like the speed range of Porter-Cable 7424xp that we previously mentioned. 

A six-speed settings dial controls the OPM of the car polisher. Feel free to adjust it when needed.

• Distance of Throw

Griot's Garage 6" DA polisher has an 8mm throw, which covers more areas as you fix the scratches on your auto – the same as the highly reliable Porter Cable 7424xp.

• Ergonomics

Trust us. Being extremely comfortable while using a car polisher is significant to bring better results as you make your wheels look brand new.

Let us start with the rubber grip and finger grooves that you can rest on while you polish. You can feel how exceptional the grip is, and it lets you maneuver the polisher with little effort. Please take note that we are not using any handle at this moment.

Regarding firing up the Griot's Garage 6-Inch DA polisher, you will feel a slight resistance as you slide it up and down. That increases more chance of unintended switching if you are not careful enough. 

Griot's Garage 6-Inch DA Random Orbital Polisher has a 16.22 x 10.63 x 8.58 inches dimension and weighs 8.23 lbs. Although the power tool is pretty heavier than the Porter-Cable 7424xp, you can still hold it with ease.

• Handle

Like we have said, if you want to use the ergonomic handle with a rubber grip, you can do so by installing it either on the left or right side of the polisher. 

• Attachments and Extras

There are many attachments and freebies in the box that you can add and use.

• 6-inch backing plate with hook and loop (Velcro) which fits pads of different sizes

Performance

The Griot's Garage 6-Inch DA Random Orbital is one of the most capable car polishers in the competitive market, and we have lots of insights to share.

Let us skip the assembling phase, as you can read the instruction manual in the box once your package arrives. For now, let us assume the power tool is ready to use.

Once you slide the button up, it will turn on, and if you revert it to its original place, it will automatically turn off. We do not like how little the slide's resistance is because unintended turning on or off may happen. However, we acknowledge the importance of the speed dial's position far below the sliding button as it prevents users from misadjusting it from their desired speed.

The most commendable thing about the Griot's Garage 6-Inch polisher is that it produces less noise and vibration than the Porter-Cable 7424xp – pretty useful for people who want to work in their garage with peace.

Moving this power tool around your beloved car is relatively easy, thanks to its grippy handle and finger grooves. However, you can also move the power tool without using the handle. Regardless, you get to remove your car scratches in no time.
