Re: Rupes
The 15 is more maneuverable. Someone will say get the 21 and use the 15’s smaller backing plate, don’t. Rupes spent years engineering this tool and unless you are an engineer don’t try to out think them. Also get Mike Phillips book on how to use the Rupes as a system in order to get the most out of your polisher.

Re: Rupes
While I like the RUPES BigFoot 21 Mark II the best and with practice you can turn it into a iBrid Nano, for most people the BigFoot 15 Mark II is the most practical choice as the smaller backing plate holds the smaller 6" pad and smaller diameter pads fit more body panels on newer cars than the larger 7" pad.
That's in the context that you're not supposed to buff on top of edges or raised body lines.
