Hey guys just got my g21 and very happy with it for the big panels, but now im having a hard time deciding what i should do with my gg6? should i convert it to a 3 inch bp and 3 inch pads? I did a hatchback mustang yesterday and couldnt really get to certain areas with out my g21 pads hurting the sides. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.

I would like to stay with 2 buffers when i do cars, maybe the g21 for most correction work and the 3 inch for tighter areas/curved?
 
I've heard the gg6 could be a tad rough with a 3inch set-up. Not entirely sure though as I've never used it before. I only used my gg6 briefly before it was stolen and from what I remember it was a beast compared to my pc.

Yeah it's what I call a rattle trap with a 3" BP. I've tested both 3" and 3.5" on my GG6. I'd suggest a 3.5" bp and 4" pads for a little more stability.

I want to get the flex rotary but just spent like 400 on the g21 lol, i think for now ill just roll with the 3.5 on the gg6 then. Do you know any good setups or that you would recommend? Want to make sure it will still cut threw swirls.
 
On mobile jobs when i dont want to bring 30 polishers. I bring my G21 Rupes mini, and my gg6 with a 5 inch plate.

You can leave it as a 5 inch machine or in tighter spots swap it for the 3.5 inch plate and 4 inch pads.

I used Buff and Shine 4" work well.

Buff and Shine Dual Action 3.5 Inch Backing Plate

Buff and Shine 4 inch Flat Foam Pad 6 Pack - YOUR CHOICE!

Thanks man! I will be ordering that. Thats the correct backing plate that will fit the gg6 correct?

Thanks joe. didn't even think about swapping good idea!
 
G21 (large flat panels) + GG6 (smaller pad set up) OR flex 3401 (with different backing plate/pads) = :dblthumb2:
