    Re: Rupes polisher

    Hey Dave,
    How's the shop going,hope everything's good.Yeah I have read a lot about the Rupes,everything I have read seems like a machine I think I would like to have.Had the flex and never really cared for it,I never could get completely comfortable with it.I have talked to a guy in Cali. That has a few on order so I may have one by the new year.If I do you can try it out.

    there are a few rupes vs. flex (or other DA) threads floating around on several boards, you just have to search (one below) for them. one will have to choose or better yet, use both of them (if possible) to decide for yourself...

    Kevin Brown has a rationale for that long-throw version, and I don't think there is anyone who has studied the mechanics and science of car polishing more than he has.

    I would like to see Mike do a review of his own pointing out the pros and cons for each machine before any of us start making uneducated guesses about which is better without having first hand experience with one or the other machine.
