Dampsanding with 3" Griot's Garage Mini Polisher
Dampsanding
This is a match made in car detailing heaven. This mini dual action polisher works flawlessly as a 3" dampsander. It makes sanding close to edges safe and easy. It makes sanding small thin panels faster and easier.
With this combination of polisher and 3" sanding disc with an interface pad for conforming to the shape of the panel you can quickly and easily sand out a minor or small defect with surgical precision in an isolated area with only a small footprint.

Removing Sanding Marks
The Griot's Garage 3" Mini Polisher is also able to rotate the Meguiar's microfiber discs. This is a 3" microfiber cutting disc removing #3000 Unigrit dampsanding marks.
It works but it's so much faster and effective to learn how to use a rotary buffer if you're going to sand down and buff out an entire car. If you're just doing spot repair then it's doable.

Note: Make sure you get a couple of 3" Interface Pads you want this for contours and curved panels.

I've got a few pictures of the guys from our Advanced Class using these all over the place last Sunday. I had 4 of these 3" Mini Polishers out and set up to dampsand and they were always in use.
I'll try to get some pics posted...

Does the new version of the 3" polisher have the same problems as the old one? I've been thinking about getting one, I've just read bad things about the old ones. and that finish came out great.

Re: Dampsanding with 3" Griot's Garage Mini Polisher
For about a year I've wanted one but because of some negative reviews I held out... well after actually putting my hands on one and using it to polish and wetsand in the Detailing Classes, I now have one:)

im so jealous. Wetsanding to remove orange peel and then buffing to a show car finish is my number one thing i enjoy the most. Especially on black paint, when black paint has no orange peel, it just looks so gorgeous. Im sure all the students had a blast working on this, Awesome work Mike! :dblthumb2:

I usually hand sand areas near body lines, near trim pieces and sharp edges.
