Proof that the GG 3" CAN correct paint!

[ihaveacamaro]

I didn't say it was easy, I didn't say it was fast, but I did say it was possible.

Here's video proof that the GG 3" can correct swirls and scratches on my hard Camaro clear coat:

Griot's Garage 3 Inch Can Correct Paint!! - YouTube

P.S. It can be hard to see the scratches, so you have to watch in HD and fullscreen if you want the best viewing possible.

Put some 3" sanding discs on that thing and you will see what it can really do correction wise

Headlights beware! :bigups

Yea, that would work good too, but what I was reffering to was sanding paint/clear :rockon

After repainting my bike (98 Katana with full fairings), I used the GG3 to buff it out after wetsanding. It look many hours to complete, but I was able to get into places I would have never been able to with a bigger machine. The 3000 grit Trizac pads are KILLER on it as well.

I ordered some to test out, got some coarser grits as well for headlight restoration.

None of this is easy.

You could also use a Sears Orbital buffer (8") with two handles and correct paint using your method.

Man, you make me want to spend too much of my money. Really need to get this little bugger.

Have you used a Rupes?

OK, so? How does this relate to the GG?

I think he was just yanking your chain

Trying to correct with a GG3 is a waste of time. There are way better options, like using a GG6 with a 4" pad or if I'm doing a tight area I just use an extension to my rotary with a 3" pad.

I'm not arguing that as I totally believe you :bigups

What I'm trying to prove is not that it's the best way possible, just that it's possible. I was told several times by several people on forums that it was not possible to correct with the GG 3" when I made a review on it a little ago. They did not say it wasn't the best method or that it takes a long time, but that it is not possible.

This video is showing the common belief that the GG 3" isn't able to correct simply isn't true. Time consuming, but possible.

I understand you trying to make your point, but IMO it's useless for correction work. You can also cut down a big oak tree with a 1" pocket knife.

You only use the 3" GG for tight/small areas anyways so it's not like you spend a WHOLE bunch of time with it.

I think the more apt analogy would be cut down the tree with a chainsaw (full size polisher), but cut the branches with the pocket knife (3" GG).

Anyways, I think the point was made and that's all I was trying to do. What you want to do in those tight areas (whether rotary with extension, smaller bp on full size polisher, air compressor ie LHR75, or 3 inch GG) is up to the one polishing

No, the analogy is that the GG3 is the pocket knife and anything else is the chainsaw.

I still enjoy your vids, so keep them coming.
