so here is a weird one lastnight..I was buffing the fenders on the car. I first started using the orange BnS pad for cutting. it kept stalling and just vibrating on the complex rounded buldge of the fender. I couldnt get it to spin no matter what i had to remove it from the fender and almost have it make no contact for it to spin. So I wipe away and it corrected anyway by just vibrating and not spinning. I didnt like the fact wasnt spinning so I switched back to the BnS MF cutting pad and that thing never stopped spinning. even in the same spot the orange pad stopped the MF pad kept going like a champ. I have no idea why the MF pad is thicker to figure it would stop before the foam since it has more mass to try and spin. Anyway i think BnS MF pad all the way for me for cutting. The black finishing pad never stopped spinning either. Was only that orange pad

the new Rupes 12mm polisher..looks like it should be made to compete in the PC/Griots field of polishers
 
sound is just way the mic pics it up and the gain tries to compensate. When i made a vid of my Rupes 15 it sounded the same but I dont find the machine to be all that loud. Its a smoother sound then the griots
 
we should have more info shortly on this unit, currently at SEMA and will have pricing soon.

we have been using this unit for a couple of months and its a great unit.

if the pricing is right I believe we have a new go to lower cost machine.
I think its gonna be in the 200 range on price. I cant seem them getting too close to the GG, close enough to cause upgrades, yes. But Rupes is proud of their polishers. If a 15 is 350 bucks, then a machine with 3mm less throw is gonna be priced somewhere in between the GG and the Lhr15.

Send me one Phil ill test it for ya ;) LOL

I want to say its as loud as the pc/griots.

:drool That and the 599 are my favs.

How does the new rupes compare to the gg so far then? Is it stronger? Smoother? Etc.

Would it come with a warranty like the gg?
I doubt itll come with a lifetime warranty. I dont even think the bigger ones do.

We should all go there at meet up next year ;)
I'd go for that!

no store closed yesterday at noon he left for SEMA
Yeah he's already out there lol


On another note, I might have picked up another customer for next week. He's got a Blue Metallic 2012 Camaro SS Hot Wheels Edition. He's been taking it to the wash/wax places that just run the car through a machine an then hand wax it real quick with OTC stuff.

I'll get some before & after pics if he decides he wants me to do it right

T said my order shipped monday. Today i was gonna order about 50 bucks worth of things from CarproUS and i got an email from them saying that THEY are going to be experiencing delays because of SEMA. WTF

I can understand T, he is a one man show and relatively small, but CARPRO? I thought they had enough people to send to SEMA and keep running full steam.
