Been waiting for these to come out, especially since Megs discontinued their 3" MF pads!

I still can't believe Meg's discontinued their 3 inch pads. What happened their 3 inch pad cutting machine broke? Glad I bought a bunch of them.

Mike does this new plate make it safer and easier to run 3" pads on the GG6? Also do the thin pads really make the loud,hot and underpowered GG3 that much better? I love Griot's products but IMO the GG3 is nothing but a wax spreader.

Totally agree with you. I was disappointed to learn about the Megs pads...they are (were) great.

Nah, that little sucker can correct as well. It's not my preferred tool for smaller panels, due to it's lower power, but I recently removed 2000 grit sanding with the GG3, a Megs MF Cut disc, and BOSS Correcting Creme.

The answer is YES.
These new Griot's pads rotate excellent on the Griot's Garage 3" Mini Polisher. Also just to note, the Griot's Garage 3" Mini Polisher is NOT under powered it's just until now there were no pads made to work correctly with this tool.
There's no practical way to get all the power you get with the FULL SIZE Griot's Polisher into the smaller size polisher. If you were to try, you would get the full size polisher. I've been using the 3" Griot's polisher since it was introduced to the market but mostly as a machine sander for headlights and car paint. Now with smaller and THINNER pads available you truly can remove swirls with this compact orbital polisher.
And that could be something you learned here on AGO as I've been posting car detailing write-ups showing this tool as a wax spread for years...

But with these new thin sharp foam pads and thin microfiber pads on the market you can now use your Griot's 3" Mini Polisher to remove swirls.
Thanks for the reply Mike. I may have to buy another GG3 and give it a try with these new pads. I'll for sure be buying some for my GG6's. When do y'all expect to have the plate and pads in stock?
