Upgrading my DA polisher

[Maxreed241]

I’m thinking about upgrading to a better DA polisher within the next year hopefully. Right now I have the Meguiar’s MT 300. It’s a nice machine just a little too much vibration for my liking. I would also like a bigger throw in my next DA. What are you favorite DA polishers? If you can include the size pad you are using and what type of pads that would be great too.

Thanks so much in advance!

Two things you stated as criteria, lack of vibrations and long throw, the answer is pretty obvious..Rupes.

Which Rupes DA would you recommend?

I chose the Griot's G21 only because of the lifetime warranty. I just don't want the headaches.

I have seen some videos of the G21 in action. Is it loud? How is vibration?

if you get the Griot from them directly, they'll give you 180 days to return it 'satisfaction guaranteed'

15 MKII as an all rounder.

I’ll have to keep that in mind. Thanks

The MT300 with thinpros really is quite a powerful tool.


That said, I wound up with a griot's G15 and have been very happy with it thus far. I think the noise level between the BOSS long throws and the rupes tools is comparable. I've used the G15 with LC flats and thinpros, Rupes standard pads, rupes mille pads, Meg's MF cutting discs, and now Griot's BOSS pads all in 5 or 5.5, no complaints.

Your other option would be to go with a Mille or Flex if you wanted forced action.
