    What speed settings do you use on gg6 and gg3

    What speed setting does everybody use for the different steps with a gg6 and gg3? I just finished polishing my truck with the gg6 and don't think I ever went all the way up to 6.

    Thanks for the response Mike. I contacted Nick with Autogeek inquiring if a test/review/opinion would be offered on the product and if Autogeek was going to start carrying it.
