Gg 3"

How under powered is the GG3? If you had one for spoilers, mirrors, bumpers can you do paint corrections? I like the price of it and think I need a smaller machine than my GG6

Also curious to know others thoughts. Although i've already purchased one and it's waiting patiently for things to warm up to use.

I figure at worst case I have a great window polisher / paste wax applicator.

Buy the GG 3in backing plate and the 3in boss pads when they come out later this month hopefully.

People who have used the new thin LC pads on them say it makes it a very affective tool. When all that was available were the thicker pads there were a lot of complaints about the lack of power.

I tried one for the first time a few weeks ago. It had 3" BOSS pads on it and had no trouble correcting defects. It was on speed 6 and a bit loud though. I still prefer my G110v2/GG6 for 3" work

Yep, word on the street is the GG3 is not underpowered when used with 3" thin pads (LC Thin Pro or Boss). Less power than the GG6? Sure.

Keep in mind- there's a new Griot's 3" backing plate that's going to be available soon for the GG6. It's made specifically to balance well with the GG6, I believe.

Get a Rupes Mini, you won't regret it.

It is a great little machine. I hesitated buying one because I had the ibird. It was definitely worth the investment.

[AZpolisher15]

I like mine too.

Can you get that into tighter areas then I could with my GG6 with 3" pads?

Tighter, yes. Much tighter, no. I have both. The size difference isn't what I would consider drastic. You can sort of see in this photo.

The only way you will get considerably smaller is an ibird, Griot's small pneumatic DA, or their new pneumatic rotary.
