Actually, it's totally relevant.  While i understand your brand loyalty (I run into this on vendor forums all the time), having an Adams sticker on a bottle does not make it a better bottle, any more than a Meguiars sticker, Griots Garage sticker, or a Menzerna sticker does. It makes it exactly what it is...a bottle with a sticker on it.

Precisely the reason for my post.  I read posts on here, and people really seem to like Adams products.  As far as what I have on my shelf, I've got the bases pretty well covered.  That does not mean that I should stop looking for something better than what I have.  

I'm partial to the GG6, since that's what I own.  The Swirl Killer is a 15mm throw, so you'd cover more ground (the GG6 is an 8mm throw) with each pass.  The down side is that you'd need to purchase a separate machine to utilize a smaller pad, for those tight areas.  The brush that Larry used on the PC can also be used on the GG6, and probably the Swirl killer, too.  
 
For the record, there are pads smaller than 3", but they're for some very specific (and expensive) machines.     

Nothing against the Porter Cable or the Harbor Freight DA(both of which I've used), or the Adams Swirl Killer.....I'm gonna recommend the Griots Garage 6" DA, known in the detailing world as the GG6.  It has more than enough power (more than either the PC or the HF), and has a lifetime warranty.  A 3" backing plate is available for it now, too, making it more versatile.  I've had mine for a little over a year, and absolutely love it.  If you watch for it, it's available at local auto parts stores to boot.  

What would it be and why?  I have several (about ten) different brands on my detailing shelf, but as of today, nothing from Adams.  I've heard and read good things about their stuff, and would like people's suggestions on what to try first.
