    Rupes Mini 12 vs Griot's Garage Mini Polisher

    Rupes Mini 12 vs Griot's Garage Mini Polisher


    The new Rupes Mini is very close to the same shape and size of the Griot's Garage Mini Polisher.

    Time to pick up a Rupes? Just for food for thought, who still believes the GG3's smaller ergonomics can still be useful in certain situations over the extra power Rupes?

    Not that I have tried or owned ANYTHING Rupes but if it does indeed have more power....Im on board!


    The GG3" have served me well BUT if the Rupes Mini12 can save me correction time......I have a GG3" 4-sale.

    Time is money!

    The GG6 with 3" or 4" pads still works pretty well. You can't stop it on complex curves or complex panels.

    I agree the GG3 with MF pads works well,but still takes more than enough correction time on bumpers,A/B pillars,ect...

    No, I meant the 6" Griots polisher with a 3" LC BP. Is that a "GG3"? When I hear "GG3", I'm thinking of the peanut polisher.

    GG6 works great with 3 or 3.5 inch BP. Take the handle off and you can get in most anywhere. It works for me.

    agreed, we all know that the GG6 is hard to bog down even with 6.5" pads...
