I second getting a Mini. I have a Rupes 21 with a 5" BP and I also recently got a LHR-75e Mini for tight spots. I actually like using it more than the 21! For some reason I'm able to get a nicer finish quicker with the Mini, although it's a little small to do a whole car.

I have the LHR15, Duetto and Mini and haven't used the LHR15 in over a year, I love the Duetto and Mini. I would only use the 15 if it was a large suv or truck. I like the ergonomics of the Duetto.

Just finished polishing my car with the Mini, but it took me 3 days.

I wish I talked to you before spending that kind of money

Now I'm thinking of trying to sell the 15 for the duetto. I should've thought this through better. I used the 15 for the first time yesterday on my hood. It is very smooth

I like the combo of the 21 and the mini. I can perfectly finish large panel, then go back and hit the tighter areas with less fatigue than ever.

They are all super smooth. I just find the Duetto much easier to finesse. I have had excellent result correcting with it. No need ofr the "washer" mod either. If I needed the $$ I dump my 15 in a heart beat. My recent posts, the Camaro and BMW done with HD products and the Duetto and Mini. My 15 is sitting in the box, been used 3 times.
