They're pitted unfortunately, you just can't see it very well in the pictures. I was just able to get almost all of it out.

so it looks like Griots takes the PC7424 and now the 7424XP and just re-badges it?

Griot's has told us that isn't the case. They don't look the same, either. I don't know, but it's a darn good polisher.

i just looked at the two units and i agree, they don't look particularly identical, but i do find it interesting that they're saying their polisher is "re-engineered and new and improved" at about the same time the 7424XP came out. not really a big deal, i know...
