Excellent question and the answer is I don’t have good technique with the rupes big foots. I had the mark I, the griots boss and the rupes 21, rupes duetto, and the trusty old porter cable and not...
Hi all and thanks in advance for any responses. Over the last few years I have bought a decent amount of tools, creams, pads, microfibers etc etc. As I only take care of a few cars, I am trying to...
Any chance you could you post a video of the mkii in action on those tough panels so all can see the pad rotate. I want to purchase one badly but after going through major issues on the first version...
Formatting needs a lot of work and very hard to do in a public forum. Here are some suggested changes. You need a online word process to ensure the formatting is perfect as well as the spelling. ...
Any comments on the reflectivity of gloss coat. The pictures look incredible. I have studied all the posts about carpro essense but I love the look of gloss coat - similar to a zaino look. I want...
Absolutely fascinating comment. Did you find the rotary hard to control? I am way to inexperienced to even attempt rotary usage since the risk of "burning" paint is too great and I only take care...
Unfortunately, at least for me, a disappointment. I am sure the machine is very well made, will withstand punishment and such, but did they really bring anything new to the market or is Flex just...
Thank you both Todd and Dylan for the responses. As you commented, you can stall the machine on a concave at an angle but I am considering a go all in with Rupes if you can generally answer the...
I saw the video and wow is all I an say. Has Rupes finally solved the stalling issue that some of us have experienced. I will wait for the reviews before a purchase but clearly they have listened...
This looks very interesting. Is it generally thought that the improvements will reduce the amount of stalling / stopping on vertical/curvy panels. Based on an improvement of 40% torque that should...
You can put a 3" adapter on the PC but the rupes mini is far far superior and works great. I actually have done the adapters on the PC and found that the connector gets loose real quick which may...
With my limited experience, I can say Lexus paint is average - it looks amazing but it is incredibly finicky to work with and boy is it soft! I had to replace all my towels since even a simple wipe...
Well I have used the Boss, Rupes 15 and Flex. You have to decide what is most important. I can say the Flex with LC Hybrids will solve all your rotation issues but the cost is vibration. My hands...
Fantastic summary and exactly on point. I am surprised though the washer mod made that much of a difference. But I much appreciate your comments and your honest and unbiased evaluation of both...
Now that you have both rupes and flex and have used both, can you comment on the strengths and weaknesses of each machine and what you find each one better for. For me, the technique aspect of rupes...
I polished a few months ago with 2500 and it came out good and then I applied zaino and it streaked like crazy. I was pretty upset after all that work and that was it for me and zaino.
Can you let me know your thoughts are on what is the best. Right now I use all menzerna but the new scheme is just too much. I used 4000 this weekend and wow did my car look great. I ran three test...
