Griot's Garage G9 Random Orbital Polisher 10901 – 1000-Watt Dual Action Buffer for Car Detailing

Powerful, precise paint correction at your fingertips

Meet the Griot's Garage G9 Random Orbital Polisher (10901), a high-performance tool designed to help you refine finish quality with confidence. Its 1000-watt motor, paired with a 9mm orbit throw and a 6" vented backing plate, delivers controlled, efficient motion that supports smoother swirls, refined textures, and an even base for your waxes and sealants. The combination of power and balance helps you work across panels with steadiness, reducing fatigue during longer sessions.

Smart engineering that adapts to your workflow

Designed with user comfort in mind, the G9 features a well-balanced form and a double-shot rubber grip. A contoured shroud and fan-cooled counterbalance contribute to steady performance, while premium bearings help maintain smooth operation under pressure. Whether you’re finishing down a panel or tackling a stubborn gloss enhancement, this polisher stays predictable and easy to control.

Versatility to handle a range of detailing tasks

Fitted with six variable speed settings (2000–6400 OPM), the G9 lets you tailor the motion to the pad and compound you’re using. The speed dial is accessible from both right and left hands, supporting a comfortable, intuitive workflow for different users and preferences. A 10-foot power cord offers mobility around the vehicle, and an optional 5" backing plate converts the tool for tighter spots or specialty pads, broadening its applicability across projects.
