  1. Re: Griots products and boss system, why I'm switching!

    I've been a Griot's cutomer since the early 1990's. Ive bought a ton of stuff from them over the years and never been disappointed. Superb customer service as well. I've got a Rupes 21 MKII and...

    Re: Awesome customer service at Autogeek/Autopia

    Autogeek has some of the best CS of any industry I have dealt with. I've had a couple of minor issues with orders caused by UPS, not Autogeek. They took care of the problem on the spot, no...

    Want to thank Meghan and Bryan for matching a competitor's offer on a buffer I have been wanting for some time (and including free shipping). I thought I would have to jump thru hoops to get the...

    Re: The new ford RAPTOR

    There is talk of rolling back the absurd EPA fuel economy requirements now that we have a President not beholden to tree-huggers and extremists. Hopefully now the car makers can offer what we want,...

    100% Trump supporter here. Been bathing in liberal tears since Tuesday and it feels great! Best part of all? Watching the shocked faces on all the mainstream media puppets faces after Trump won.
  6. Re: How to Chemically Recharge Your Mixed Bed Resin For Your CR Rinsless. Danger + Hazardous

    WOW! That is a ton of work. Thanks for the write up. I might just give it a try and save $150 in new resin.

    Just curious, is the Buckeye Supply resin the same quality as the CR Spotless resin? ...

    21 Mark II with 5 inch BP?

    Has anyone used a Rupes 5" backing plate on the Bigfoot 21 Mark II? If so, how do you like it? How does the machine behave with the smaller bp? What is Rupes official stance on this mod?

    It...

    Re: CR Spotless Water Systems

    I've seen that chart and originally was using the unit for the final rinse only. Problem I was having, especially on my Tundra which is huge and takes a while to wash, is that the unfiltered water...

    Re: CR Spotless Water Systems

    I have well water which is very high in Iron. I get around 120 PPM on the TDS meter. I use my CR unit from beginning to end of the wash, not just the rinse like many people do. I was surprised to...

    Re: Resisting Water Spots

    I have a CR Spotless DI unit and it is a godsend. No water spots and no drying the car (although sometimes I still dry it if it's going to be driven right away). The resin is pricey at $150 a...

    I get it, but on a brand new car off the transporter its not a given that it will need correction.

    Re: Dumb for first polisher?

    I believe the reduced power when free-spinning is normal, mine does it too. It is designed that way to prevent it from exceeding the max safe rpm since it has no load on it when held in the air. As...

    Not doubting your problem, but if this were a wide-spread issue with Rupes pads you would think we would be hearing about it on this forum and others. Yours is the first time I've heard the...

    Re: 3" random orbital polisher

    I have both the Griot's 3" polisher and the Rupes Mini 3" polisher. The Rupes is much more powerful and the quality is clearly superior as well. Of course, it costs 3X as much so it should be...

    Re: TA50 Sander/Polisher

    The high rpm does concern me a bit. I've seen some youtube vids of people polishing with the 2" pads and getting excellent results. Not sure if they were using some kind of a regulator.
