    Re: Which polisher to consider next and why?

    I would also recommend the Rupes mini...maybe even a Zentool mini

    Another good option would be a GG6 with the upcoming Boss 3in backing plate

    Re: Which polisher to consider next and why?

    I have a Defelsko, that I trust.

    I am leaning towards the MINI more, since it seems to fill the void nicely, and then in the future consider a rotary.

    I`ve recently got a lot of wet sanding work, so I was just thinking a rotary, then 3401 might clean up a lot faster, but who knows, perhaps the mini can save time by cutting out a step, after all 15-30 seconds longer on one machine is probably less time than machine 1, wiping, switch to machine 2, apply compound/polish, work, wipe.

    I hear they`re much lighter now.
    My Metabo is a *LOT* lighter than the Milwaukee I ran in the `70s, a good mbit lighter than the Makita too.

    My Milwaukee rotary is a heavy beast but if I`m buffing a car out cause of some serious swirls and deeper marring I`ll pull it out and use wool pads then follow with one of my DAs. Just quicker that way
