Also the Cyclo loos really well made. anyone try one of those? The Maguires and Griots looks like the same buffer?
The Meguiar's G110v2 and Griot's may look like the same tool, but they aren't. While loosely based on the Porter Cable 7424 they were both developed by their respective companies to outperform that tool, and they do. In fact, both offer more punch than even the 7424 XP, but the Meguiar's DA is quieter than the Griot's tool. Obviously I'm partial to our own unit, but if you can't source one (they're still on backorder for the next couple of weeks) then go with the Griot's unit. But do yourself a favor and skip their pads and liquids - you can easily outperform them for less money. And skip that awesome Flex rotary unless you really know how to use one - the rotary is an incredible tool in the right hands, but very dangerous in the hands of a novice.
The Cyclo is heavy, expensive, and just a single speed. It's also large enough that getting into a lot of areas can be a pain, if not darn near impossible.
