Rupes 15mm MK II vs. Chinese 15mm...my thoughts
I've been using a chinese 15mm polisher for a while. Decided to get a Rupes 15 MKII. Best decision I've ever made. Power is nice, but the biggest difference I noticed is in the finish. With some polishes, I could not get the chinese 15 to finish to my liking. With the same polish, pads and paint, on the MK II.............wallah!! Much better finish! I've attributed the better finish strictly due to the polisher being much smoother and less vibration. Never really put this into consideration, but it makes total sense. Just wanted to share my thoughts.

After following the Rose and Kevin Brown all these years just as soon as rupes hit the states I jumped on the band wagon. I only have the lhr series so far but they are good..

They sure have, but I can tell you first hand, they are not nearly the quality, smoothness, etc of the Rupes.

I don't remember which Rupes I tried years ago but it was very smooth but I can't help but to notice issues people have with them. Are these generally production detailers having issues or hobbyists[emoji848]

btw, anyone ever see this DA before? crazy how fast it eats defects up and seems to be a juiced up/on steroids version of what's currently out...

mark, what forced rotation polishers have you currently owned and still have?

That’s good to hear Mark. I’ve been on the fence about buying a knock off polisher just to see if there was a real difference. You saved me a couple hundred bucks.
