Re: Recommend me a POWERFUL 3" polisher
I donated my GG3" to an Autogeeker a couple of years back. What I did was CONVERT my PC7424XP into a 3" DA and have used it with much success since. My main DA is my Flex 3401, however, my PC is my designated wax applicator or minor correction or headlight repair. The Griot Garage 6" can be converted the same way. With the proper adapters, you can make the DA a 1" DA.

The flex 3" is an animal and built stout like a 3401.
I own an Adams SK mini and very much like it.
I've also heard good things about the Rupes LHR75E

SK mini from Adams. I got mine on sale 19% off. Nice quality and power.

I have the Rupes 3", the FLEX 3" and I also converted a Harbor Freight into a 3" with the heavy Griot's 3" backing plate. They all work well, just depends on how much money you'd like to spend.

I did the same with my old PC. Works great for spot correction, glass and headlight polishing.

Griots GG6 with the 3 inch set up. Absolutely amazing results!

If cost is no issue, you cannot beat the Rupes Mini (75). It's one of my favorite machines to work with. Even more than the BOSS G15.

Re: Recommend me a POWERFUL 3" polisher
I really like my PCXP with Griot’s 3inch BP. It’s a little “wobbly” at low speeds but 4 and up feels great! Works well for mirrors, bumper areas, edging(although not as perfect as a rotary), spot corrections(especially if one stepping and need to bump up your correction on a deeper scratch here or there), glass and headlights.
Only downside besides feeling a bit “wobbly” would be what Mike mentioned, it’s a larger frame then the GG3 so it can present a problem in very tight spots.
