Thanks Marc! I would put you in the category of one who would benefit from it

[Marc08EX]

Lol thanks Roshan!!! I'm going to get one then.. Another machine lol!!

And lol and the personal vibrator comment.

Never say I don't give credit! I actually finally found the quote of the guy who said it first:

UPDATE: I take back all the nasties i said about this Griots 3 Inch
I took the forum advice about speed 6 and worked great on headlights..
Pretty much speed 1-5 is good for a personal vibrator,,Speed 6 actually buffs

I use to own one, but I sold it and just bought a 6" extension from elite for my rotary and use 3-4" pads also. Very happy

Anyways, its a great little machine and a great review. If I still had mines, I would use it to wetsand.

I did enjoy your video on the GG 3" polisher...
Thanks for doing this Roshan!.

I've been studying about getting one of these ever since smack (Mike) explained
the ease of doing door-sills, among other appropriately-sized areas, with one.

I'll await another sale-athon.

Also:
Early on in this video did you say that was a 5" pad on the 5" backing-plate?

Nice review. I have a 3" GG as well. The other day I went to use it for the first time (Ibought it back in December) and something was wrong with the switch. I call GG's customer service dept. and like you said in the video they will gladly replace it. Also some people may ask, "why not just get a 3" backing plate for your PC". My answer to that would be that even with a smaller pad on your PC the head of the PC is larger
and you run more of a risk of scratching your paint in tighter spaces. I'm looking forward to using my new one. Keep up the good work on your great reviews.

Great review and video, I've had mine for a couple years now and since adding an Optimum mf pad to it, no problems on the tight areas and even medium sized bumpers too but like you say, gotta use speed 6, its the only speed this machine should be used on!

Hey Bob,

Glad you're interested in the machine, I think as long as you know what to expect, it will meet your goals.

I thought I said 5.5" pad on 5" backing plate, but if I made a mistake, then I meant 5.5" pad of course

I like that you are keeping me on my toes, please continue to do so

Yeah I mention that clearance is still an issue with smaller backing plates on a big buffer. I think for people like us, the 3" certainly has it's place.

Thanks for watching

Yup, I've seen posts about people returning it since it didn't have enough power on 5 :facepalm:

It's definitely got to be on 6!!
