    Re: Dumb for first polisher?

    Yes, got it from AutoGeek.com. I sent Dylan a pm a couple of days ago, but haven't received a response so far. Will call autogeek or rupes customer service today.

    It's just that the practice car for my first detailing attempt is a daily driver and is not garage kept. Thus, I don't want to spend a bunch of time washing and prepping it for compounding only to have the Rupes stop working on me AGAIN.

    I did a lot of reading prior to the purchase, and felt as though I was buying this EXCELLENT tool, and scoffed at my husband's suggestion of just getting a cheap machine from harbor freight tools. Now it feels as though Rupes is just overhyped((.

    If before I was all set on getting the ibird as my second polisher, now I'm starting to doubt my choice and am looking for other options.

    Really depends - the nano is going to be far more versatile, but costs far more. You can still get a lot done with the LHR75E mini so it comes down to budget and how crazy you want to get about polishing intricate details.

    Mini runs 100mm pads
    Nano runs 40 and 70mm pads

    Crazy). Everything needs to be perfect. Even if only for the very first detail on the new car (have 2 to practice on before that one).

    Difference in capabilities of short vs long neck?
