Fairly new GG 3" buffer seems to lose power if you put any pressure at all stops spinning. Maybe I just never noticed it but if I tilt it or do anything other than having the pad flat on paint with the weight of the buffer it doesn't rotate. I have 6" and it has tons of power .
 
I don't have any experience but another foroum member mentioned that you need to use it on speed 6 otherwise it's useless.
 
Speed 6 is the only way to use it. They are lacking in power, but I only use mine for waxing, which works awesome for!
 
Keep it on speed 6 for compounding and polishing and stick to 3" pads and it works great. The Meguiar's 3" microfiber cutting pads work the best of the ones I've tried. The 3.25" optimum microfiber pads also work well but cut less than the Meguiar's due to the softer foam backing but they also finish a tiny bit better due to that.
