Dumb Question about a RUPES

[Rsurfer]

[QUOTE=CM8 6MT;801880]
The only reason Rupes is becoming popular right now, is because a specific high end detailer is promoting it.


Who might that be? Kevin Brown, Paul Dawton or Phil..they all like the Rupes.

[Mike Phillips]

the Rupes is popular because of one man in particular, and that's Kevin Brown!

And you all know what I always say...


Due credit where credit is due...


I wish everyone would give due credit where credit is due but sad to say that's usually not the norm but the exception. I do my best to always give proper credit where credit is due. Check out what I say about Kevin Brown, Rod Kraft and Joe Fernandez in this link,

Due credit where credit is due


And I wrote this back in 2009 and this is just a single example of giving credit where credit is due.


Chad, you have a copy of my how-to book, what's on page 61, third paragraph down?


It's the right thing to do and a great way to lead by example. One thing for sure, I haven't seen this much buzz in an online detailing discussion forum about a new product since Lab Sample D.

Article has just reminded me to try and find my charging cable to that light. Unfortunately, to some it looks like another cable to something and gets moved without my knowledge.

Back to the RUPES

-I will contact KB and get all the info I can on it from him

-If I choose to replace, I will buy from him

I do indeed...and it was even signed by you!

Unfortunately I'm still at work and I don't have it available to me right now...I'm guessing it covers the subject above though .

GREAT guy!!

Popularity and effectiveness are two completely different aspects. I think its safe to assume no one questions the effectiveness of the Rupes, and or KB's honest opinion about it.

Put a RUPES and 3401 side by side on complex curved panels and with enough pressure you will slow down the RUPES or may even stop it unlike the 3401 which will continue its speed no matter what pressure you inflict upon it.

I disagree. I can put my Rupes LHR21 on an edge, with quite a bit of pressure and still have the pad rotate. Even if it does stop rotating, the huge stroke will remove significant defects. After all, rotation is not the only thing that removes defects.

The only reason Rupes is becoming popular right now, is because a specific high end detailer is promoting it.

In the same way some sites promote the Flex brand and Griot's polisher?

Or the Porter Cable, take your pick.

The difference is that the Rupes is in a league of its own. It's the first large stroke DA polisher that has been successful. I won't go into detail about the benefits, as they're posted everywhere.

If Kevin doesn't believe in the product, he won't write about it. Let's not forget that it was Kevin who introduced the Surbuf pad and M101, both of which are tremendously popular and work as described.

That suddenly makes a lot of sense to me on how it corrects
