What in the world is a paint twist if you don't mind me asking?
It's where the pad grabs the soft bumper paint and wrinkles the paint. Best way I can describe it..looks like a bunch of waves in the paint. There was a picture posted recently, but I can't seem to find it.
I have both and use both. I tend to use the mini more. Someone posted a paint twist on their bumper using the PE8 so must be used with caution especially on bumpers.
I was going to mention that thread. I though it was on a side skirt, but painted plastic either way.

It is where the paint was actually twisted almost like Saran Rap covering he paint. It was from the heat from dwelling in one spot for too long and the plastic not being able to dissipate the heat. It sorta ripped and twisted it.

The Rupes Duetto can be made into a 3" polisher also but it's not really going to get you into too many more tight areas. Not sure how well an extension would work on a Rupes.

Seems to happen more on painted plastic (bumpers) than on body paint. They do use a flexing agent in the paint which makes it soft and easy to twist with a rotary.

The throw on the Rupes is too large (12ml) for an extension.
