    Which Polisher to get

    I am trying to decide between the Duetto and the Rupes Mini.....I already have a Flex 3401 and a nano ibrid but i am tryin to decide which one i should get right now i use a older meguiars da for small pads. Not real impressed with it but it was my first one just wondering if the rupes mini would serve me better for smaller 3 and 4 inch pads. As far as paint correction i only use the flex 3401 on big areas right now so looking for something a lil smaller and lighter possibly that does a good job.

    Probably the Mini.

    The Duetto uses 6" pads (5" velcro).

    From research i take it you cant go small on the bp for the duetto and it function properly as i was hoping because if so it would be just like the mini.

    Well i pulled the trigger on the mini i figured i could use the meguiars only for applying waxes now. I couldnt pass up the 25% off on the Rupes that never happens. Now i just have to not let the wife find out lol.

    I have the Duetto would imagine that the mini is a little beast of a machine. In a good way.

    Dlc95, are the minis just as smooth as the Duetto is?

    Absolutely!

    Also, because there is no anti spin the rotation is pretty intense, even at low speed settings.

    It's one of those tools you don't think you're going to use as much as you actually do.

    A pc7424 at a 3" pad size will dominate defects and at a low investment cost. I'm not into correcting a entire vehicle with a PC but find great results with jeweling with a PC7424.
