interesting.. (around the 37sec mark) the new rupes mkII seems to stall some as he applies some pressure...

That's nice and all... But I really don't see how it's relevant to this thread about the Boss😬

How would the new Rupes compared to Griots boss polisher?

I love my G21 and it packs plenty of power and doesnt bog down very easily compared to some other polishers. Heck, my GG6 doesnt stop rotating when you apply pressure...

Eldorado, My Boss is lopsided like that.

Do you use a 5" or 6" backing plate on your G21?
Going into it, I was thinking 6" backing plate all the way.. But once I ran into those little fenders on the Tacoma I got a reality check.

These fenders are probably among the worst case scenario for a long throw polisher with 6.5" pads. I sure hope this is about as bad as it gets and not too common.

I've polished this same truck before with my HF DA w/5" pads and was able to do every part of it except for the pillars next to the windshield and along the rear window.

On 2nd thought, I was able to polish the pillars before, I just laid down some tape along the sides of it. But obviously couldn't do that with the new polisher.

Really? Man, what's the dealio... It doesn't seem right for it to be like that._.
Ever since I pulled it out of the box and saw that, I haven't felt comfortable laying it face down. I put it away face up [backing plate up] because I'm afraid it might bend any further and Really mess it up. I dunno

I dont know what the deal is. I just use mine and hope if something flies apart is doesnt mess up the paint.

I used my Innerflex Pad once... And upon closer examination, it's already starting to delaminate.😕

Also, does anyone else find the washers extremely hard to remove once they're installed?
