The Griots 3" polisher is better at using carpet brushes and doing wax application IMHO

The topic here is Hello, so i think you are good
I almost bought the HF 6", but it felt kind of junky, so i went home and ordered the Griots 6" from Autogeek. I did just buy a couple of pads from HF, my Mom has a Galant, that has some pretty messed up paint, and I did not want to touch it with my HexLogic pads.

Actually the polisher from HF is pretty good. The pads are junk however, I hope you tossed them after the Galant. The HF polisher just needs a new backing plate and better pads (I use mostly Buff N Shine) and its a comparable machine to the PC7424XP

I might have to grab one of those then. That store is dangerous, I live under 5 minutes away, and am always going there mid project for some saw blade or socket, then end up with 10 other things i did not know i needed.

and yes, i barely got any work on the Galant done yet and already trashed one of the pads.

The guy with the 5 speed never got back to me.
I just got back from looking at this, it was nice and really clean. The only problem is the display on the instrument cluster is totally unreadable, only a minor concern.
It has the original trans, kind of scary with the miles. It has a strange issue when just cruising with the RPMs around 1,500, it almost stutters and vibrates. He thought it might be a throttle sensor, to me it felt like it was in the trans or transfer case.

I enjoyed the drive down, about an hour away threw countryside, might be one of the last drives like that in my e34 540. So i am glad i went.
I stopped at a shop that serviced my old e36 alot, and did some work on the e34 as well and they had this on the lot

I think I am going to go back tomorrow and look into it some more.

So I went and looked at this one today, drove it around some.

I really like it. It is in excellent shape. Just had the air bags done, and the timing chain guides. As well as a lot of other stuff done regularly, as needed. So i think there is a good chance i will pull the trigger on it in the next day or two. It needs a battery and brakes that will be done before i take delivery on it.

If its had that work done sully it could be a good buy. could use some updated headlight/tail light/side markers (non amber), a de-badge, a complete detail job, and some better wheels, but other than that looks like a good example, let us know!

I have set of stock xenons with clear corners that I could swap out with you if needed, I have another set of headlights waiting to go on my X.

Welcome, good luck in your hunt!

Nice looking grey on grey example. Good luck!

Thanks, the headlights look better in person, but they could use some TLC.
I trust this place, the car belonged to a customer, who was getting older and wanted something smaller. I trust them with most anything. They could not figure out the bang from the rear suspension on my E36, but neither two other shops, so no big deal.

I am probably picking up the one i last posted, in the next few days.
I did just see this one on CL.
