Rupes Polishers: Selecting The Best BigFoot For You

[felixthecat]

You don`t have any polisher and looking at the two? If so I`d probably get the Duetto as well. But you might just want to buy a Porter Cable before shelling out all the cash on the Rupes to make sure this is for you.

I borrowed a couple of my buddies buffers= a pc & a Groits 6``, to see what I thought. I`ve used rotorys & palm sanders for over 10 yrs in a body shop, yeah they were pneumatic. I was 1st looking at a Flex 3401, then I see the Rupes buffers are a lot smoother to use. Thinking of the 15, now to go w/ the rupes system, but that 15 Wolfgang kit is sure temping. I thing is the hydro tech pads, I read they wear out pretty fast vs say CCS pads. Of course I add a few more pads to the order & w/ the wolfgang kit, swirl remover.

Rupes pads or nothing with their polishers. They are tuned for their polishers. Other pads will not feel as smooth.

Kind of what I was thinking to= going w/ the rupes15 chose your pads kit for $399. add Rupes compounds & a few more pads, most likey greens & yellows. I like to see the price difference, for the heck of it if AG had the same kit w/ the duetto= duetto chose your pads kit. Maybe $30- $40. difference.

Yellow finishes awesome, even of soft paint.

You just missed out on a AG 15% no exclusions sale. That`s how I got my mini.

I`d go with the Rupes pads or some microfiber pads. Made for these machines.

I have a 3401 and love it. I can correct just about anything with it. But I`d like to have a 21 to save me some time on details.

Do you guys use the Rupes compound/polishes too?

Yes, but I definitely use other polishes too; more than the Rupes polishes.

I have other compounds/polishes & just wondering if I should order or try out the rupes products in maybe the 250 small size?
