That's awesome, it proves you can make most paints look outstanding with the right products, equipment and knowledge. That rental is "Competition Ready"

Man I wish I could have made it!! I live/work so close too!! But I had to work! Looks like I missed a great time!!

Had a great time yesterday!
I'd like to thank Mike Phillips for putting it together, and Mel Craig for allowing us to hang out at his amazing shop.
It was a pleasure meeting everyone in attendance including TCfatboy, Darren and his lovely wife, Rmd, Rigo and everyone else!

I was truly impressed with the new Rupes MK2 w/6" pads. It feels like you can cover alot of ground with so much ease. That machine is just too smooth.. It feels like the Cadillac of polishers

I'm totally looking forward to getting 1 soon. I also liked the Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish. Thumbs up.

Here's a picture of me with Mike Phillips and Darren Priest. Really cool and down to earth people

I cant imagine what the rental co is going to think when they inspect this car upon return. That has to be the shiniest rental in the world.

It was pleasure to meet every one yesterday. Thanks to Mel for opening his doors at his amazing shop. Thanks Mike for setting this whole event up. And thanks to Bob McKee for supplying all the products we got to test out.

It was amazing to the test out the new Rupes Mark ii. Really impressed with how balanced it is, especially while doing the air test. Compounding and polishing was a breeze as well. Was going to consider a new flex however, after yesterday, I'm sold on the Rupes.

RUPES polishers are truly very smooth operators!

What about these pics? Is this the LHR 15w/6" pads, or the LHR 21w/7" pads?

I'm just curious as to which machine it was that I fell in love with

**AC in OC** · 11-30-2015, 03:45 PM

Man! I'm so upset I missed this! I live 15 min. away and literally did nothing on Saturday. I could've been spending time learning from you and the other guys.

I hate missing opportunities like this! Oh well. Maybe one day I won't miss the next opportunity.

Drawing from memory and looking at the pictures on my cell phone I believe that is the Mark II BigFoot 15
