    New Rupes Polisher - The tool I used on the Lady in Red

    New Rupes Polisher - The tool I used on the Lady in Red

    Some of you that read through this write-up,

    Lady in Red - 1986 Porsche - 4-Step Process

    noticed I never mentioned the the tool I used. Here it is...











    This tool works great as long as you use the right technique or "good technique" and that is...

    Light pressure, not heavy pressure. Use light pressure and the pad rotates fast and the mechanical action of the orbit length, pad type and abrasive will do the work.

    After

    Electric as opposed to pneumatic I believe

    The new LHR12 is a smaller sized machine with a 12mm throw. It appears to be similarly sized to other smaller DAs like the GG and PC7424XP.

    The LHR75E is simply an electric version of the LHR75 pneumatic polisher that has been on the market for a while now. This also has a 12mm throw.

    I'm waiting to see the price tag. While I like my GG3" I feel it does lack some power.

    Heard the LHR12 is a similar sized DA with more power and smoother compared to the current options we have at the moment. Hope we get more info soon.

    I was looking at buying the LHR 21.
    My guess is this is geared at GG6 users and so on. Wondering how much quicker it will be and if it's worth upgrading my GG6?

    So should I get the LHR21 and have my GG6?

    Or GG6 and an LHR12?
