Deal HistoryÂ
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
I got this deal before Christmas. Yes - the retail price is ridiculously inflated. But the only people downvoting this know nothing about tools. It's built like a tank and worth every penny if you know what it is and actually use these from time to time.
Don't use the bonnets (if it's the microfiber hairnet with elastic band style) with these polishers. You need to use pads designed for a DA (dual action) polisher, but they're not unique to the Chemical Guys model/brand. You just have to match the pad size to the backing plate size (5.5" or 6" or 3" are most common). Foam pads & microfiber pads are the most common types and come in varying levels of aggressiveness ('cut' vs 'polish' vs 'jeweling', etc.). You can check out Lake Country, Chemical Guys, Meguiar's, etc. for DA pads.

I just pulled the trigger on the TORQ15DA (middle model) from OP's listing.
A few questions...
Can I use the 6 inch "bonnets" that I recently bought from Advance Auto on clearance? I got them for the Wen polisher I had, but... I'll use e'm on this new one if they'll fit/work? Or do I need to buy specific pads for the CG model(s)?

These are pretty darn cheap, you can't get anything around this price range. CG must be moving to another generation from whatever place they can rebadge and upsell.
I don't have personal experience with that brand, but quick searches tell me people generally like them as a budget/value pad and they are good for getting started. You can always upgrade later if you want something better/different. More pads is really helpful to be able to do a vehicle without having to pause & wait for the pads to cool down.

I assume something like this [amazon.com] would work? And if I wash them, I could get multiple uses out of each?

It's a long throw which would work for most people.
