    The right Rupes for me? Duetto or 21?

    Thanks for your feedback! I use a couple of waxes like the Gold Class Line and the NXT series - but somehow I like M16 very much. It was recommended to me by the local Meguiars office.

    Wow - great picture! Good to know that you had a couple of Cadillacs as well! So you know what I´m facing when it comes to cleaning these beasts.

    Ok - thanks everybody - I´m going to order a Rupes 21 + an additional 5" backing plate tomorrow. Maybe I can invest in a cheaper 3" polisher (no Rupes) sometimes in the future for the tighter spots. Lets see how far I get with the 21... Very difficult decision so far... ;-)

    Thanks everybody! Can I get the same paint correction results with the Duetto as with the 21? I would lean towards the 21 but I agree that the Duetto might be the polisher which would make more sense for me? If I can get the same results I will probably get the Duetto Deluxe kit...

    The right Rupes for me? Duetto or 21?

    Hi, I´m following this forum for a while now and I have decided that I want to buy my first really good polisher. I´m an enthusiast and have a small collection of Cadillacs and Lincolns ranging from 1958 to 1978. Most of my cars still have their original paint which is single stage paint. I...
