Rupes mark ii or Griots the boss for buissness?

[Ryan Bishop]

Hello everyone. I've been planning on opening up a side mobile detailing buissness. I have been slowing building up buissness while gaining clients and what not while still at other job. Now that I am close.

I've been looking between Griots the boss 21 mm orbital or the new Rupes mark ii 21 mm. I know griots the boss has a 900 watt motor and rupes has 500. They both seem like outstanding tools but from I know power isn't everything it's how the tool performs.I have used multiple different orbital/buffers but I'm looking at what tool would do the best work at a faster rate. I've heard rupes works well on panels where the boss slows down but both really well built tools. If anyone can help me with this it will be well appreciated. Thanks

HAPPY DETAILS

They are both great tools that will both get the job done. You cant go wrong with either...

There's a few people who have both, but other than that, it seems to be which brand you like more/hate the least.

The Rupes people say Griots weren't the first with a 21mm orbit and therefore sucks.
The Griots people say the Boss has improved upon the MkI and the MkII was in response the the G21 being better.

Honestly, choose whichever color or warranty you prefer, and rest assured that either way, you will be getting a quality machine.

Rupes legacy < Rupes Mark II
Rupes Legacy < G21

Griots has an excellent reputation for quality, but I prefer to stick with the company that perfected large throw machines, Rupes!

Yea I'm leaning towards the new Rupes as well. I've watched multiple videos today and from what I've seen it look like griots kind of still slows down on the ridges and curves a bit but when I Watched ammo nyc trip to rupes factory and with a 500 watt motor looks like it has little bit more perfection and handling in curved panels than the boss. I've hard nothing but good about rupes. Just people talking down on it about power but performance looks well.

I've got both but lean towards the Griots more often. It's essentially Coke vs Pepsi. Different strokes for different folks.

One of my buddy's uses the new rupes uhs one step polish and 7 in pad with his boss and looks amazing thanks for all you help. So confused now lol.

Your saying that you have the MKII?

[Ryan Bishop]

From what I've seen/heard the boss is a great tool worth fast work time and some of the best abrasive technology. Here's a picture with g15 results on a ferrari.

No my buddy uses new rupes polish system with his boss.but haven't able to get on it because he lives in la. I have never used a rupes or boss . Just makita, dewalt, and flex. Looking to upgrade for new buissness some of my clients pacificly just want me to use orbital buffers. So looking between rupes and boss for my arsenal.

Wait, as long as the end product is up to snuff, why do your customers care what tool you use? As long as you are being safe and using common sense, of course
