3" DA Polisher a Good Idea??

So, I am biting the bullet and getting over my fear of using power tools on my car's finish!!!! (Though I use power tools in my profession..go figure!!!)



Anyways, I'm looking at the Griot's Garage 6" polisher....but was wondering if buying the 3" polisher would make my life much easier when detailing my car.



Also, I have SO many detailing products...and though the woman in me wants to BUY BUY BUY more...i.e. they have the CUTEST Griot's Garage polisher kits....I don't need most of the products they have (I think).



Anyways...I pm'ed a very knowledgeable person here, but I am getting antsy!!!...lol..



So, I have my car 4 months...bought it new. I planned on using P21S to strip the wax I already put on the car..wash it...clay it...





And then to polish the car I have Meguiar's clear coat safe polishing compound...I was originally going to use this stuff by hand..but will this suffice with the Griot's polisher??



After that, I planned on using 3M Imperial Hand Glaze....



And the bottle says to apply by hand using back and forth motion...so I can NOT use this with the DA polisher???



And then I plan on finishing the car off with Collinite wax.



So...to sum it up:



Is the 3" polisher a good idea???



Can I use the meguiar's polishing compound with the Griot's DA polisher?



And..is the Meguiar's polishing compound too aggressive for my situation???



Can I apply 3M Imperial Hand Glaze with a machine or is it by hand, ONLY??



Thanks in advance

Detailers Domian one of our sponsors here has a great GG6 kit that includes a 5" backing plate and mix and match selection of 10 5.5"pads (which isn't too many pads). So you don't get allot of product you don't need or want. I just purchased a 3.5" backing plate for my GG for use with 4" pads and find it fine for getting into the small bits on my cars. I wouldn't use that Compound with a machine as it is for hand application only and if you polish your paint you shouldn't really need a glaze. If your car isn't in bad shape you may only need something like HD Polish for any correction--it is very easy to work with, no dusting, long working time, no heavy oils to remove, very forgiving. Then go right to your LSP of choice--HD POXY is a hybrid wax/sealant that has a great look on dark colors and adds a nice richness to light colors. Hope this helps.
