Flex vs. BOSS vs Rupes: Im not seeing something here..

[Medicscott]

When you all say rupes can you substitute the G15 or 21 in terms of finishing and ease of use compared to flex? I`ve been eying a G21 with 5" plate for a while but yet to pull the trigger. The Flex is a monster but I just did a Surburban and my body is feeling it.

The G15 comes with a 5" backing plate and is the recommended machine for enthusiasts and detailers. The G21 comes with a 6" backing plate and is recommended for professional detailers.

Aside from the 6mm of throw, is there a case for a G15 or a G21 (possibly with a smaller 5" backing plate) for particular types of users. In other words, would an enthusiast be well advised to spend the extra $20 for the G21 over the G15 and get a 5" backing plate for it? Or is the G15 the better machine for home users?

I would like to know if anyone that has the 15 and the 21 could tell us if there is a marked difference in correction ability between the two machines.

I have the 15, 21, 3401, G21,etc. Pm me your number, I`ll be more then happy to explain each in depth. Typing that much will give me carple tunnel.

A audio file or video will do..
I would love to hear the differences from someone who has used so many polishers extensively.

My question is should I buy a 15 when you can just put a 5 inch plate on my 21?

I agree- I`m wondering the same thing. What advantage is there (if any) to having a G15 with a 5" backing plate over a G21 with a 5" backing plate? What reasons could there be for the G15 given that a G21/5" plate combo is available?

& Yes, I would take a 21 W/5 inch bp over a 15 IF YOUR DOING THIS ALL THE TIME. If you not I think the smoothness of the 15 is far better and worth the savings IMO.

Thanx for your input on these machines

If you can finish down with a rotary, then keep doing it! I always have. Things are released to make things "easier" but if you have a skill then keep using it.
