Re: BUFFERS: If I had to do it all over again......
I think the PC is a nice tool with 4 inch pads. Just need to be careful to not overheat the backing plate.

Re: BUFFERS: If I had to do it all over again......
Pretty much agree. I don't use a 15mm all that often, but doing so more these days since I got a cordless version of one.
I WAS going to sell off my GG6, and have sold off my PC, but decided to keep it, just in case. I needed a 3" after my GG3 broke, and luckily I was able to swap a 3" bp onto the GG6 and it saved the day.
I'll hold onto the GG6 as a back-up unit, with 3", 5", and heck a 6" bp.

Nothing could EVER make me get rid of my GG6. It's one bad-a$$ little tank of a machine.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

It really is!
Funny thing is, I didn't intend on keeping it. I had bought a kit, as part of a sale, plus free gift, plus who-knows-what-else. I figured I'd get the kit, keep the polish and compound (and free stuff) and sell the tool. I would have had a bit of stuff for cheap, and someone would have had the brand new tool for cheap as well. hahaha... Long story short, I did sell off the unused polish and compound but kept the GG6. Glad I did.
now my 3401s....those...I shall keep.

If you are a PRO doing this on a daily basis, I think a forced rotation machine would save lots of time. For a guy maintaining a couple vehicles, I think a long throw would be good enough.

Re: BUFFERS: If I had to do it all over again......
I have a MaxShine 15mm DA and bought the Griot’s 3” polisher off AutoGeek earlier this year.
Is it strange that I used the Griot’s to polish 90% of my Mustang...twice?
Used a cleaner polish then a primer with it before the LSP.
The car has eleven separate angles from the side roofline of down to the lower side-skirt.
3” pad fit nicely with all the surface transitions versus the 5” pads on the 15mm machine.
Yes, it was many hours of polishing.

Not all 15mm are equal. The Rupes III 15 is very capable of removing heavy defects.

if one only needed a polisher, the GG6 would fit the bill perfectly with all the different backing plates and pads available these days...

that's a good combo, the 15LT for the larger panels and the GG3/8 for the thinner/narrow ones...
