I've been looking at the boss and the rupes 21. Is the mark ll worth the extra money?

Agree w/ this, Flex halves the time of polishing vs a PC (my first machine), at least. PC is underpowered, but a wonderful machine with 3" pads.

I've been looking at the boss
and the rupes 21.

Being that you are now PC-proficient;
and, since the Boss and Rupes are
also orbital polishers;

then, IMO:

A Rotary (circular) polisher should be
ideal for your "next step": Especially
ideal in the sense of becoming more
proficient in time-management of
future detailing/correction jobs.

Oh yeah, almost forgot:
Way less vibration from a Rotary:
Your Body Will Thank You.


Note:
Even when you do become proficient
with a Rotary...don't toss the PC!

That is what you'll use to:
"change the action of the tool for
the last machine polishing step".

the G15/21 (they also have side port to change brushes which is a nice little touch) can do everything the rupes can. the BOSS G15/21 enables you to use both 5" and 6" backing plates (comes with washer mod if you desire to use it). also, the GG DA's ALL come with a Lifetime Warranty and no nonsense responsive customer service as well. buy it once and have no worries, GG will take care of you and have your back. with the BOSS creams and pads you have flexibility across the board as they don't limit you to only using this or that pad with any particular cream. i have trust in them (can't say that for everyone) and they will do whatever it takes to make you happy and a customer for the long term. there are some companies out there are quick to take your money but do little to nothing (and procrastinate) to respond if you ever have a problem. expect big/exciting things from them in the future!

Like you I outgrew the PC and standard buffers. I have since moved to a Flex 3401 and regret not doing so sooner. 1/3 to 1/2 the time involved now and it doesn't stop for anything. Constant rotation with no PIA slowing down or stalling on any surface. Takes a little more muscle to use but honestly not much.

Was it pretty easy to get the hang of once you got your hands on it? I guess that would be my biggest concern.

How often do you polish cars? If you're a weekend warrior, the GG 6" with an LC MF cutting pad and quality compound can handle 95% plus duties. I recently used the GG 6" with an LC MF cutting pad and Jescar compound and was able to remove sirls and some RIDS on hard corvette paint in a relatively short amount of time. I will always reach for the GG 6" first because it's versatile and works with the PROPER pads and polishes. There may be times when the paint is SUPER hard and this polisher will work to slow, but I see that as being rare. The Flex 3401 used to work MUCH faster than an 8mm random orbital, but with new technology, it's not THAT much of an upgrade and isn't the most comfortable to use.

In the same boat; $650 of AG Gift Certificates waiting for a decision...LHR 15 Mk II or G15? Rupes or Griots? BOSS or Bigfoot?

Every time I think I've decided I realize I haven't. So I continue of with GG6...

The most accurate and honest response I have read on this forum in a really long time.
