The comment about 8mm DA being "better suited" to soft paints is akin to the comment Autopian All-star Mike lambert made about the new G9 and its 9mm throw being better suited to today`s ultra-thin finishes (clear coat & paint) being used with modern vehicle production. He would put this new G9 up against any 15mm throw machine (his words, not mine) in terms of correction and over-all finishing. Mitigating damage to ultra-thin finishes (AKA, burn-through) during necessary detailing correction and polishing to the vehicle finish at some time by anyone is paramount to having a vehicle`s finish outlive or last as long as the vehicle loan payment on a 60-to-84 month (5 to 7 years) loan.
DaveT435:
What kind of problems did you have with your Rupes polishers and were they ever resolved? Sounds like not, since you got rid of the Bigfoot MarkIII 15mm. I am curious because Rupes has such a good reputation by Autopian members, both professional and hobbyists, who own and use them.
