Look what Santa brought me! Rupes!!!!

[Sizzle Chest]

Well Santa fell down the chimney and dropped a Rupes polisher under my tree! I was pretty excited to see that my wife hooked me up with this! I love it! Amazing!

Some comments after a brief use this afternoon. I had to try it out so I went and polished the hood of my truck with it! My good friend Buddy came over to check it out too! Yeah!

Very high quality look, feel to the build/product. Excellent power cord. Long and heavy duyt! Backing plate is vented and has a nice foam pad to it. This machine is the smoothest I have ever used/felt! Unreal! So smooth! Pretty quiet too! You can feel the power...it never bogged down even under some heavy pressure and you can still one hand this thing! I got some Rupes pads along with it and used their light cut and their finishing pads. Very nice pads. I know they are a little more expensive than your average pad, but these things look like they are built like a brick sh!t house! Solid!

Anywho...I will update this/start a new thread when I have a few more 'miles' on it and keep everyone updated.

I'm pumped! (Thanks to my wifey!!!! )

A few pics...

Congratulations!

I am on the waiting list for both the 15 and 21.

This is definitely an awesome machine and in my opinion is in a league of its own among non-forced rotation D/A polishers.
I really enjoyed giving it the first spin out of the box

Scott your wife definitely took care of you this Christmas with this awesome machine

Thanks sizzle chest! Glad I had you test drive her first! LOL!!! I wanted to see how it operated/sounded/polished/etc...kinda hard when you are using it yourself! I was glad to have you use it 1st amigo!

(Had a great time today too...)

Very nice. I'm torn between the 21 and 15.

When I talked to Kevin, he said the 5" RUPES backing plate from the 15 would work on the 21.

I'm going to get the 21 and just get the smaller backing plate to go with it.

I know that they are interchangeable...I'm concerned about the throw. Do you really need the 21 or will the 15 be enough to correct. Ideally both would be nice, but $800 is a bit much.
