Looking to upgrade from a PC
I mainly detail as a hobby but I'm starting to do more jobs for friends, family, neighbours etc and I'm looking to upgrade to a more effective machine. I just find the PC kind of taxing to use. While it was great to learn with, it's loud, not particularly smooth, and just isn't very ergonomic in my opinion. Correction speed is important to me but keep in mind I don't do this for a living so outright speed is not paramount. I just want something smooth, quiet, and comfortable if I'm going to be doing this more often. I would also like whatever I choose to be compatible with the 5.5" LC pads I already have. I'm looking at the lhr 15 and duetto right now. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Either or, I have both and a G21. I love my Duetto as it's light and easy to use but I'd go with either a Rupes 15 or G15/21 if I had to have one machine. You can get a G21 and 5" BP for flexability.

GO g15 and also buy the Griot 3in HD backing plate to install on your PC

Although I understand your need to graduate from the PC, I'm not agreeing with the PC being "Loud, not particularly smooth, ......... and not ergonomic".
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

I mean, it does make my arms pretty sore after a while and my ears start to ring if I don't wear earplugs or headphones. It also doesn't have any sort of integrated handle or built in trigger like most of the other polishers out there. I just can't help but think that I could find a unit that is more pleasant to use for extended periods. Are you suggesting I would have the same experience with a higher priced polisher as well? Because if so that would save me a bunch of money! lol

Re: Looking to upgrade from a PC
I have a Duetto and really like it.
It's seems very smooth and powerful to me.
But the only other DA I have is a HF that I use for machine claying (the Duetto does not run slow enough for this) and for polishing smaller areas with a 3" backing plate.
I hear the 15mm Rupes and BOSS machines are nice too.
If you do get another polisher, pick up the BOSS 3" backing plate for your PC.

Reason: Autogeek doesn't offer this brand polisher
