Apex Detail Hi Brian. Once again 👍👍👍👍 . Yes it’s a quality DA what’s the price point. Over$300 probably . What’s the throw. I wish they would make a copy of there DA buffer that’s 159$ and make it 15 mm throw. And keep the price about the same or at least under 200$ . Detailing products are getting out of control and their prices. Do companies have to make a 500% Percent profit wouldn’t 100% be enough. Just sick and tired of having to Pay a fortune for everything. The price of everything goes up except our paychecks which is garbage. Although it does look like a great buffer and I do like it. Keep the great videos coming brain. Give the dog a hug 🤗

Brian you did a better job explaining the polisher than Griots themselves :) Received mine Saturday and got up early today and did a quick polish on wife's car and it was fabulous . Finally after going through polishers this is on my shelf along with my Adams min. Others have gone to good people and auction site. This senior driveway detailer recommends this :)

I would be incredibly surprised if the Griots guys weren't aware of the channel. I'm sure there were some fist bumps and high fives going on as they watched this review. We all know there are few active sources for reviews and opinions that aren't paid for in one way or another. They have to earn this one.. 👍👌✌ They really checked alot of boxes on this. Plus it just looks high quality and modern. A completely purpose built design versus just an oval shell of plastic to cover the internals like the G6. Also love the quick disconnect, I can think of many scenarios where that would be useful.

I can't believe they priced this at $149.99. They charge the same for their latest 3rd gen 6 inch polisher which is not even close to the level of this G9. If only they made a forced rotation version with the same level of value - I would jump on it. I am one of the weirdo's that likes forced rotation DA polishers, I use my Flex 3401 more than anything else - would like to try the Rupes Mille because I have heard it is smoother but the Flex is so similar and does a great job so I can't justify spending the $400+ for the Mille.

Been watching your channel alot in the evening and picking up some awesome gems brother! After your evaluations on the griots g9 &g8. Decided to pull the trigger on their combo. Got a killer deal on their site $275 shipped! It should be a huge step up over the bauer. I mean I'm no pro in the scene. But I do get amazing results with what I do have. I usually just wet sand and da finish after body & paint. Hopefully I'll see a HUGE improvement in my detail/correction game which will make me justify buying a better gun. ( I'm using a pro-lite) Been doing paint & body for about 15 yrs but only have about 2 yrs in detailing. I honestly think paint correction I enjoy more than detailing.
