    Re: 3" random orbital polisher

    If your considering the Griot's 3" you may want to read this thread. Apparently these pads make a lot of difference in the performance of that machine.

    Re: 3" random orbital polisher

    Not a full time Detailer. I only detail cars on the side here and there & of course my friends/family cars. Just really started getting into all of this at the beginning of 2016 however I have found that a smaller DA would be beneficial when working on small areas.

    In terms of budget, I would like to stay around the price of this GG 3" I can go a bit higher however it would have to be worth it to spend that much more.

    Thanks

    Are you a full time detailer of just a hobbyist? Budget would play key in how often you detail.

    Just get anonther GG6 and put a LC 3.5" Backing Plate on it, or a PC and do the same thing. Use 4" pads, it will be more stable this way. It won't be smooth like the great Rupes Mini but you can put that together for about $30.00 more than the cost of a GG3 which as many have posted is under powered and really not much more than a wax spreader.
