    Need help finding the right polisher....

    yea thanks kinda what im looking for. i need something that would be good for those tight spots and stuff. I wouldn't expect it to be as powerful and the full size GG6 seeing as its a smaller motor and all. But if it does the job and works good thats all im looking for.
