    I own GG6 and Rupes. I take the GG6 from 3, 5 and 6" plates in matter of seconds. Rupes has not saved me any time since I always go back to GG6. And go figure.....it never bogs down on curves

    I did not believe it for the longest time, but once I did, I seriously wonder why I bought the Rupes.

    Now if only I can figure out the buffer trail issue with the Flex.

    Price: pretty good. Also comes with a useable BP and bale handle.

    User friendliness: pretty good. Chances are high the newest nooblet can take it out of the box and polish something without ruining it, burning through it, or leaving holograms all over it.
    Totally agree!

    Re: $ for $ best buffer

    every detailer/enthusiast should own at least one traditional style DA and with said, the GG6 is a great choice not only for the power it has, but the lifetime warranty as well. with the new pads (see video below) & polishes/compounds out these days, there isn't much you can't tackle...

    For the money I 100% agree with you.

    What are you working on?

    Normal, everyday daily drivers? Just upkeep? Detailing for money? Work at a body shop?

    And their detailing discussion forum to help you use it rocks!

    GG6 for a beginner, wonderful machine
    Rupes otherwise, but having a rotary is a must have!
