Product Description

THE BOSS G15 has a 15mm orbit, which represents an 87% increase in orbit throw compared to a conventional orbital's 8mm throw. The main advantage of this long-throw machine is pad oration. A pad that rotates in a larger orbit does more work per pass, your liquids are more effective, and you get results that surpass expectation. THE BOSS is the most innovative orbital ever. Griot's Garage is the first to integrate a fully variable trigger that allows the user to throttle the tool from a dead stop to the maximum dial setting incrementally throughout the sweep of the trigger. This acutely focuses the control you have over the tool and the depth and clarity the system delivers to your paint. This tool is built right using the best of the best. Packing 900 watts of muscle, BOSS orbitals are the most powerful on the market. Their advanced, precision-machined steel counterbalance is a cut above and they use NSK bearings, the best in the world. The G15 comes equipped to use our BOSS 5" pad system and is recommended for experienced enthusiasts or detailers.

    Best polisher at this price point!
    After hearing many great things about this polisher, I was curious on how it preformed. My initial impression is the fact that it doesn't hang like my Rupes MK1 did on edges. I also noticed slightly more felt vibrations which isn't a deal breaker what so ever. Overall, for the price I paid. It is definitely the perfect upgrade from my rupes MK1. Pictures are the results of 5 hours of detailing a friend's 95 e36 M3. Used griots fast correcting cream, car pro essence polish and Adam's Ceramic 9H Spray Coating.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic machine!

    When I was in the market for a long throw I had many choices. What sealed the deal was griots garage customer service. Long story short, my 6" GG was acting up and they sent me free replacement brushes and a sample of wax. Minor but speaks volumes! Made my choice much easier and glad I went with it. Much stronger than the 6" (which I'm converting to a 4" backing plate now for tight spots). I paired it with different pads and polishes and it works very well so far! I also have less to worry about knowing griots has my back if it should break. One of the best things is the feel. It's so balanced and smooth but don't be afraid to push down a little to keep the pad spinning. Overall a great product and I got a sweet deal from taro racing here on Amazon.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Machine that we use in the Boat Yard!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Great machine that actually works very well at cutting through faded Boat Gelcoat as compared to our rotary Dewalt high power machine.
    Worth noting, Restoring Gelcoat requires a tremendous amount of cutting, so the Long 21MM throw is revolutionary.

    The advantages to using this DA style versus rotary...
    1- It doesn't sling compounds like a rotary,etc, which means it can be used next to another boat and also not have to clean the rugs etc afterwards.
    2- It can be pushed into a cleat,tight areas and it doesn't violently kick back like a rotary, so much safer and can get to more areas.

    Well balanced and designed machine, and extras are reasonably priced and with the supplied washer, additional cutting power can attained...though we use it in the Boat Yard with the standard cutting.

    I tried the Gloss it 21 first very light but cheep and broke first time I used it. The only reason I don't give the Boss 21 5 stars is its HEAVY but hopefully its because its well built. I Will eventually try there products as well.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
    Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019

    I’ve had the G21 for a few months now and have only used it a handful of times however the speed control dial is not working properly and I cannot obtain full speed of the machine. Since I bout the machine from amazon I need to pay to ship to them and then be without the machine for a minimum of two weeks. Griots said if I were to but it directly from them they would have paid for shipping both ways. Besides losing money on having to send in a brand new machine to get repaired I have noticed that the machine puts off some pretty heavy vibration, this makes a difference when your spending 10-20 hours correcting paint. The machine does seem to like low pro pads such as the griots however and mellows out when using them. Closing thoughts are that the machine puts off quite a bit of vibration and the speed dial was pretty much bad out of the box.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good machine but overpriced and deceptive description
    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2019

    Little vibration and very comfortable. It's small so it's easy to stay out of the way and lends itself to a great job. What I did not like about it had more to do with the misleading description. It says its capable of variable speed on each setting, like the way most drills work. This is not the case. On each speed setting, it's either full speed or off. This was a big issue for me and I e ded up returning it. I'm pretty certain you could get a similar product for 1/2 the price and have a comparable end result

    I use this on a corporate jet to polish the paint, chrome leading edges and woodworking inside the cabin. I’m very new to finish polishing and have had very good results so far.

    Doesn’t vibrate into the users hand much and is an okay weight so It’s comfortable to use hours at a time.

    I chose to wear hearing protection because it makes a somewhat harsh noise but I wouldn’t hesitate to use it for a few minutes without hearing protection.

    I usually base my ratings partially on the price verses performance. This is a very expensive machine. I’m an positive someone could get the same results from a much cheaper tool so I probably should have deducted a few points but this is such a nice tool, everything about it is quality I had to go back to five starts.

    Hi my name is Ken from Putnam Vally NY I have looked at all of the buffers and researched them all to. I have went with the Boss 21 mm long throw buffer and am very happy with my pick. I have never used a buffer like this one in my life before. I don't do this for a living but I have always worked on my own truck and car before. The power of the Boss 21 is great it seem like you have a rotary buffer in your hands . The Boss 21 mm long throw buffers is smooth Griot's Garage you guys have made a great machine can't wait to get the rest of my pads. Thanks for making this buffer .
