RUPES should make some videos on correcting curved panels...

[2old2change]

There are some areas of a car that are *impossible* to polish out with a Rupes(or any other random orbital), but CAN be polished with a 3401. I can't sum it up any better.

I think I can take a LHR75 or LHR75E to places a 3401 won't fit.

Even with a 4" pad?

I've had my Rupes Mini's in some mighty tight spots! Having said that I also regret some of those times. There are places that should not be polished by any machine other than the human hand.

Agreed. I love the LHR around fog lights , grills and spoilers with a three inch foam pad. Sorry Mark but even with a 4" pad on the 3401.

Since all cars are unique I'm not sure how much help a video would be either tbh.

While I see your point, it's not that there's one single, precise positioning of the machine that only works on one-and-only-one exact-match panel. The machine position/technique for a concave panel on the rear corner of car A should also work for a roughly similarly-shaped panel on car B. After a person sees a couple examples of how to deal with something under a couple different conditions, they adapt what they learned to new situations. That was the thought with the video suggestion.

I'm sure you'll agree all the videos Mike has made are still useful to people even though he's generally working on older/classic cars that few of us have anything remotely close.

Bob, have you been in the Johnnie Walker Black Label again? What does "name that tune" mean?

I have a 15 with the washer mod. With a foam pad I have no issues with lack of rotation on curved panels.

That was the name of a game show that was on the air a few years ago.

-Contestants tried to guess the name of a tune, with hearing the fewest number of notes as possible.
-One would tell the host that: "I can guess that tune in xxx note(s)...
The other may have countered by saying:
"I can name that tune in xx note(s).
-And (as the discharged newsman was once fond of reporting):
"A good time was had by all!"

Sorry for any confusion...
You have to realize that I'm getting up there in years.

Now where in the name of sense did I put that Texas fifth of Black Jack?

Sorry if I sound like I'm trying to start a pissing match, bud! No way!
