Hello. I like the Gsix. Great vac. And congrats on finding it.
Automotive/metal polish should get it looking better. A bench grinder with a mop+compound on it. The G six should not have a clothe bag in it. Unless you mean the Filteret Hepa 11 bags as they are a white clothe type material. But you don't wash them you put them out in the bin(Trash) when there full. Hope this is of some use to you. Also I recommend only using genuine Kirby Drive belts as othere stretch easy from past experiance. Happy Kirbying;o) James:o) |

Gary,
The G6D is a great machine. The Diamond Edition I beleive. I bought one new. Love the machine. If you use the Micron Magic bags, and if the fill tube is free of any holes or leaks...there won't be any dirt escape from the bag. As James has said above, make sure you use original Kirby belts, remembering that Kirby has two styles of belts. The older 500 series use a soft belt, the newer G series use a tougher belt with ridges on the inside of the belt. They last much longer and rarely slip. I use Mothers Mag on all my machines with very fine steel wool. It is work, but they clean up well. Have fun! Watch Ebay, the tools are often out there. You will be amazed at the suction and performance. Morgan |

I bought my G6 the day they were delivered to the shop I was working in. I had wanted the G5(I loved the color) and my boss did offer to hold his last G5 for me if I wanted. But, I wanted a new toy, so I got the G6. I love it. I have put the new style brush roller in it and I'd swear that it cleans better now. Now I want a Sentria but keep loosing the bids on eBay. But all the talk about the next new Kirby has me thinking that I should wait six months and see if the Avalir, or whatever they call it, does turn out to be some new marvel.
Good luck with the G6. Try that new brush roller and the white cloth-like bags. You'll love it. |
