    Re: i am disappointed from my 21 MK2

    Using a Rupes is like using straight non synchronized gearbox, olnce you master it, it is faster. Forced rotation is like synchronized gearbox, it is slower but easier to use. I also have a 15 and 21 mk2 and no problem with stalling at all. However i had one 15 mk2 which had bad stalling so it was defective unit.

    The best detailers I’ve trained are the ones that had a natural talent for long throws, the hobbyists or mediocre detailers always went the other route and its easy to identify between them on this site too.

    One one hand, I totally understand, on the other, there are some pretty good paint poiishers using the 3401.

    I have to admit that I'm surprised how few of them are used in the shops where I'm from.

    Two of the most notable detail shops in my area use Rupes 21s.

    One shop has a 3401, but no one really uses it. The detailer I hire to assist on big jobs has one too, but he never really brings it. He usually brings the Rupes 21, and the PC 7424xp.

    I do like the 3401 though. Great for cleaner waxes, and one step polishing. For heavier correction I prefer the random orbital.
