Hello, I am buying a Rupes 21ES and wanted to know what pads and polishes I should buy? Should I buy the kit that has the Rupes polishes and pads? I was thinking of getting the Megs microfiber cutting pads and then buying all the other Rupes pads. Do both the 6.25" Meg pads fit the 6" plate and...

:buffing:

im defiantly gonna get the flex, i was very surprised that there was not a sticky with a comparison chart between all the polishers. Also, which variant should i get regarding the cable, HD or regular, is the 50$ worth it? Thanks

When there is a sale at autogeek do flex's go on-sale unlike rupes? I might wait after i come back from Switzerland, Italy and France and then buy it because i probably wont get it in time before i leave and i might as well wait for a sale.

I was thinking about doing the rupes 21 and the mini but its seems ridiculous to get 2 polishers before i have even polished for the first time. Im going to pull the trigger on the flex with all the backing plates because it seems more sensible then the rupes. What deal do you think nick could...

so to sum it up, if im reading it correctly i should buy the flex with all the backings? It will be a relatively safe machine in my hands. Also, you may have misunderstood me but the microfiber towels, waxes, and sealents that i already have are some of the best on the market if not the best on...

Alright im either gonna get a Flex or a rupes because that seems to be recommended and i feel like buying a 100$ polisher like a griots is going to not last or not be super effective, but i have no clue which one i should get.

this seems to be the most in-depth comment so i am going to adress this. Can the flex damage a car that im working on if i do not know what im doing originally? Should i get a rupes instead? Also i have plenty of microfiber towels (microfiber madness) and wax and sealant, do i need to get new...

if i were to buy one, what compounds and cutting pads do i need, have not jumped into the polishing world yet.

Im in the market for my first polisher/buffer and wanted to know which one or ones are the best in general or for me. Somehow i have some old 7 inch Vector profesional polisher which i have never used and probably will never use unless you guys tell me that i should use it. Im welling to spend...

meguirs wheel brightener looks very good and cheap but there are some concerns with it being bad for aluminum wheels and it contains Ammonium Bifluoride which suposuvly is bad for you.

needs to be sold on autogeek. throw out the for the money comment because honestly it does not matter, whats the best overall wheel cleaner.

i hate anything mothers or megiurs, hows the chemical guys diablo or auto finesse imperial

i wash my rims with a soap designed for rims but its becoming a pain because im a perfectionist. I spend 5-10 minutes a rim and it adds up. i had ammo plum wheel cleaner until the cheap sprayer that came with it decided to loosen and spill everywhere just like my leather cleaner.

Whats the best wheel cleaner for the money?
