    DP paint sealant prep?

    I'm looking at getting the DP paint sealant and was wondering if my bf gloss enhancing polish would work before applying the DP sealant. I just don't want to have to buy the DP stuff because I'm trying to keep costs down

    Flex or Rupes?

    I had both and like the rupes a lot better. Therss a learning curve for the flex if your not holding it right it will walk on u. Also the rupes is better with the microfiber pads. Its just easier using the rupes I dont fell like I just got done doing a work out like the flex.

    Another Flex 3401 vs Rupes 21 Comparison

    I never understand this. WIth the rupes you hardly need to put any pressure on it so i think ppl that are complaining its bogging down aren't using the machine correctly.

    rupes price increase.

    Wow when did the rules price increase $40. When I bought mine earlier the 21 was $399 now other $449. Wow that's nuts good way to steer ppl away. $400 was high but $449 is worse. Glad I bought mine when I did or I would of kept the flex.

    Are the Rupes polishers still living up to all the hype?

    Man i don't know why ppl are having problems with the rupes on curved panels. I did 6-7 cars and love it. If yu have problems on the curved surfaces your pushing to hard. WIth the rupes you hardly need any pressure so you shouldn't have a problem on the curved surfaces.

    Those of you with bad backs, do you have a preferred DA?

    Yes i have had the griots, flex and now the rupes. I have a hurniated disc, and two bulging discs so whatever makes the detail go faster and easier. The griots i hated because after doing a car i felt like my hands where still vibrating. THe flex was faster then the griots but it gave you more...

    Flex 3401 or rupes bigfoot.

    Why would you want or need that much pressure. PPL need to realize the rupes doesn;t need much pressure on it not like the griots or flex. Put the washer mod on and you would have to put a lot of pressure on it to stop it even on 5 or 6. If you need to put that much pressure on the rupes your...

    I dont understand what mean by a certain technique with the rupes? Its the same as any da except u use less pressure. Its very easy to use now the flex is the one u need to really pay attention to your technique or it will walk big time on u.
