    I’m doing a 3 stage correction on my beetle and I’m really impressed by the griots creams. I was using Meguiars ultimate compound but the griots stuff is in another league. 58313E32-0AA3-4E27-B53A-6DE732B7BE66.jpg

    Looks great, better than a brand new 2021 OEM paint job.

    Some polishes create a lot of dust? How's this fair in terms of dust residue?

    Zero dust. And the residue wipes away easy. Lots of videos on YouTube demonstrating that.

    A little of this and a little of that.
    @Da Voke Beetle looks amazing!

    I’ve used several Griots products and have been extremely happy with them.

    But does it whiten on trim and plastics?

    Not sure. Not allot of plastic on a 74 beetle:) I did a correction on my wife’s rav last year with ultimate compound and that stuff is a bitch to get off of trim.

    I can't speak to leaving it on for hours, but their 3 correction creams wiped away clean for me.

    I've not used their all in one polish that leaves a sealant behind, you probably wouldn't want to let that dry.

    Some compounds are not made for plastic trim . Most detailing shops tape off the plastic to avoid this . I have found that the green painters tape does a good job of protecting the trim during paint correction

    Oh I know all too well, dabble a bit in the paint correction hobby on the side but always interested in new info and products I haven't tried.

    Also I'm too lazy to tape my own stuff.

    For a customer though that's another story.

    Yep. I use all there polishing products. Always great results. Easy to use. I have both the G8/G9 polisher. Beetle looks great. Use their finishing sealant then a good coat of wax. Great job!!

    What's your opinion on the G9?

    Looking for an upgrade from the Porter Cable 7424.

    I thinks it’s great. Easy to control, comfortable. I have the 25ft cord which is great.

    Do you have any experience with the G15?

    Is the G9 a lot more powerful over the 7424?

    I have one and I think it’s great. I’m no pro at this but it’s a solid tool with lots of power. I can see how a forced rotation tool may be better for a pro but the g9 gets the job done for me.
